We all struggle, and we all could use a confidant, sounding board, mediator, and encourager on our team - this is where I come in! My specialization is in marriage/couples and family therapy . I do not view each individual as my client, but instead view the relationship as my client. In family /couples therapy, we will work on increasing understanding and empathy, validating one another, and strengthening communication.

Specifically, I use mindfulness-based techniques and incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) into my practice.
Welcome! You might be spending most of your time listening to others and maybe even feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. You may also feel very frustrated because you understand what it takes to change but you keep ending up doing the same things over and over again. Many of my clients find themselves doubting their capabilities and struggle with managing triggers from past traumas, anxiety, and finding their voice. I am here to provide a space where you can finally break free, find some relief, and begin to heal. I believe that everyone has a story to tell and that story deserves to be heard!

As a parent and psychologist, I understand what a huge step it is to start this process and to trust someone with your child and family .
Does your child or adolescent's worry, anxiety, or sadness get in the way of their day-to-day activities? Does it feel like you're talking in circles and running into the same challenging behaviors over and over? Without a “how-to” guide, it can be exhausting and overwhelming trying to assist your child or teen on your own. Even the process of seeking professional help can be daunting. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. As a Licensed Psychologist, I use a collaborative and strengths-based approach to help children, adolescents, and parents overcome challenges, improve relationships, and experience more joy.

My clients often come to me with heightened anxiety, partner and family stressors, ocd, trauma or overwhelmed with everyday life.
Change starts with small steps. There’s a misconception that therapy is one step away from throwing in the towel, when really therapy is the first step on a journey that can bring healing and happiness back into your life. Finding a “right fit” therapist can tremendously empower you or your loved one to regain the confidence and happiness everyone deserves. A therapist who hears you, understands you and wants to help you work through the decisions that you need to make in order to feel whole again in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

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.
