I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse.
My communication style is very person-centered, easy, loving, and supportive. My path to becoming a therapist was complex. I started years ago as a biology teacher in public school. I found that students always sought out my counsel for personal problems after school. Through teaching, I discovered my love of therapy.

I am guided by the belief that ‘humans make sense.' We don’t just arrive at our behaviors by chance; we are innovative, brilliant beings, built to be resilient. But maybe you’re finding yourself here because how you're relating to yourself and others is not serving you anymore. What do we do when we are stuck in cycles that leave us isolated, not just from others, but ourselves? Life is full of "both;and," joy and heartache, the two informing one another in the dynamic experience of what it means to be human. But how do we make peace with it all? What does it mean to embrace our humanity in a way that liberates, not paralyzes?

Family Therapy Therapists
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.
