I am a Marriage and
Family Therapist
with over 30 years of experience providing psychotherapy for individual, relationship and

Are you hurting, feeling tired, lost or stuck, or perhaps struggling with a personal issue or in your relationship? With compassion, hope and inspiration, I want to help guide you in overcoming past and current issues to make your future happier and healthier. Therapy is a journey that evolves with us working together toward common goals and exploring issues to promote your growth and healing. Together, we will develop useful techniques and insightful feedback for changing what can be changed, and learning to cope with what can't.

Do you feel stuck repeating behaviors you long to change? Have you tried to make connections in the past and found yourself disappointed in the way things turned out? Do you struggle with insecurity or anxiety that leaves you feeling unworthy of the love and relationship you long for? One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is witnessing individuals, couples, and families overcome patterns that aren't working for them and build the thriving relationships they're seeking. I lean on the transformational power of connection and relationship while providing psycho-education, mindfulness tools and new ways of coping to my clients.

In couple's therapy, communication training, clarifying patterns of interaction and
family
history combine to allow partners to better understand each other.
Starting therapy can be a difficult decision so I help clients to be candid and open and to approach therapy as a cooperative effort of assessment, planning and treatment. Clients benefit from being understood for how they are at the present time and from respect for the pace at which they wish to work. A careful assessment allows the use of the right therapy approach of the many specific strategies that have been developed in recent years.

Consistent with several views expressed within the field of Positive Psychology, I believe in focusing on an individual's strengths and virtues to help individuals and families thrive. In addition to this approach, my collaborative, non-pathologizing style utilizes the inherent virtues of growth and change within individuals and families, allowing for a deeper understanding of each client's unique processes and functions, setting the stage for clients to develop self-agency and become the experts in their
family
system. Visit Amazon.com for my recent book on Relationships "The Games Boys Play".

Is the problem depression, anxiety, addiction, couple, or
family
relationships? I can help you expand your options, learn to take better care of yourself, find your strengths, and overcome your fears.
Do your options seem limited? Do you need help to sort things out, make sense of your emotions, or see the situation differently? We may be overwhelmed, feel inadequate or out of control. We may believe that the future is bleak or hopeless. We may be upset with others, afraid of loss, or change.
We each have more ability and control over our lives than we know. We can learn to soothe ourselves, remain calm and clear-headed when we face challenges. We can solve problems and effectively negotiate our relationships, but we all need help at one time or another.

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.
