I have experience working with individuals, couples and family systems who happen to find themselves stuck due to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, traumas and abuses (both past and present), identity concerns, spirituality, personality disorders, life stage transitions, and grief.
What is the point of insight if nothing changes? What is the point of change if we lack insight as to why it even did? Through our conversations I’d like to help you to see, both yourself and your situation, in an authentic light with a new perspective that sticks with you long after you leave the therapy room.

My work with individuals has focused on people who have a strong desire to live meaningful lives and have a sincere wish to be good partners, parents, and community members. At the same time, they feel distant from their deeper selves and find that their relationships and life are not what they had hoped they would be at this time. They find that they are inwardly blocked from living life more fully. My work with couples, families, children, and adolescents has focused on helping navigate challenging circumstances, stressors, familial and life events.

I am most passionate about working with people who are not happy with their current situation and wanting to make a change. For individuals this might be wanting to analyze the relationship they are in, make a career change, challenge old mindsets that are no longer working for them or disuss current mental health symptoms they are experiencing. For couples this could be exploring compatability, communication challenges, lack of intimacy, ongoing conflict, confronting addiction or having experienced an affair. My training in trauma, addiction and recovering from affairs allows me to work with the most challenging circumstances.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
