I often work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma related to life transitions with work, family, or life circumstances.
Are you stuck in life and struggling to find a way to move forward? Are you looking for someone to listen and aid you in thinking through your life and helping you find answers to questions like, "Who am I?, What am I doing?, Why am I doing this?, Can this get better?" If the answer is "Yes", then you have come to the right place.

My approach to psychotherapy is uniquely tailored to the needs of each individual, couple, or family system.
My specialty is working with couples, doing sex therapy, tackling anxiety and panic disorders, and working with individuals in STEM fields. While I frequently conduct traditional talk therapy, I also incorporate non-traditional methods such as therapy sessions during tennis/golf, walks in parks, and on-site exposure therapy for anxiety and panic disorders.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, expressive, trauma-informed and family-focused.
Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, teenagers and their families on the idea of how thoughts and feelings influence behaviors, and the control they can have over those behaviors. My goal is to connect clients with appropriate coping skills and tools to defeat negative thoughts, take control of their emotions, and improve their communication with others.

Each session is tailored to your child’s needs and strengths, and your family’s values.
I believe meaningful growth happens when we honor both where we come from and how we live now. My approach is rooted in ecological thinking, evidence-based behavior science, and the belief that children thrive when their needs are understood in context. Learning should be relational, embodied, and relevant. It manifests as gestures, resilience and interest— developmental pathways that are ancestral, not invented. Families who share these values can expect practical, real-world recommendations for use in nature and everyday settings.

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.
