I try to think in terms of person-in-environment, which is a systems approach and it involves both the modalities of individual and family therapy. Healing relationships is an area of great interest to me.

No one teaches us how to handle the setbacks of life. Whether they be personal, family, career, or interpersonal. Sometimes problems can feel like a tremendous burden. In fact, obstacles are often pathways to reach a higher understanding of ourselves and how we fit into the larger scheme of things. Freedom from fear, worry, anxiety, depression, and sleepless nights arrives with the acceptance of non-perfection. We are all human and fallible, born to make mistakes. In a world of judgements and comparisons we need to treat ourselves and others with respect and compassion. "Be yourself..everyone else is taken".

Your mental health is very important. Whether you are in the midst of a crisis, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in the same pattern of hurts, habits, and hang ups - I can help. Change is possible. You don't have to go through it alone not knowing what to do. I work with individuals and also with couples. When it comes to relationships the reality is that they take work, but sometimes we don't know what work needs to be done, or how to do it in a way that strengthens the connections between each partner. That's where I come in.

As a family therapist with training in DBT & EMDR, I believe in providing a level of care that allows us to work collaboratively towards your feeling like a lighter, more confident version of yourself & relationships.
Trauma can leave us feeling isolated, broken, damaged, unable to stand up for ourselves and disconnected in our most intimate relationships. It may feel like the past has a hold on you, as if nothing can change the person that you've become as a result of the horror you faced. Imagining a healed version of yourself may even feel unattainable, but you are tired of feeling triggered, fearful and hopeless. You know that change is possible and are ready to stop allowing your past to dictate who you become in the future. You want to discover their true potential, and take the lead in living your best life.

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.
