My approach is a cognitive-behavioral focus through individual, couples, or
family therapy
.
Do you feel sad, hopeless, confused, overwhelmed, or angry? Have you tried to work through issues on your own but feel like you are not making progress? Have others expressed their concern for you and your well-being? Do you have difficulty concentrating, excessive worry, or have used ineffective coping strategies in the past? I believe I can help you.

Therapy can be an intimidating process. How often have you pushed your mental health aside because life grew hectic; were told to “practice self-care” but aren’t sure what that entails; or been told to “just get over something” and you’re left feeling lost or overwhelmed? Being a human is challenging! We’re filled with complicated emotions that derive from our lived experiences, environment,
family
dynamics, personality, and genetics. My goal is to help you sort some of that out to relieve depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflict.

My 30 years of experience include working with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, relationship conflicts, self-esteem issues,
family
, parenting, and divorce, and workplace/school-related issues.
There are times in life when it is difficult to believe that we will ever reach our dreams, hopes, goals, or have the future for which we had hoped. We may be feeling stuck, lonely, and unable to develop or access our wisdom and strengths. Too often, challenging life situations or decisions made in the past tend to have a lasting effect on our lives. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, change and heal our relationships with ourselves, our significant others, and those around us.

Are you trying to cope with a difficult situation or relationship, but the emotions sometimes feel overwhelming and you’re not sure what to do? Are you stressed about
family
issues, work, or your quality of life? Are you striving to do your best, but nothing is working? Are you being hard on yourself and believing that’s the only way to get motivated? Maybe there has been a transition or change in your life recently and it’s thrown you off course. Old feelings of unworthiness and doubt are bubbling up again. You feel confused and have lost direction. Life doesn’t feel as good as it once did and you know it could be better.

I am a licensed clinical social worker treating a variety of concerns that bring people into therapy. My areas of focus include parenting, gender and sexuality, intimate relationship growth, and ethical non-monogamy. I believe in acknowledging the intersections of our race, gender, sexuality, education, ability,
family
history, and social and cultural education. These identities define who we tell ourselves we “should” be. Therapy helps review these facets, determine what works, and practice skills to have effective and realistic ways of relating to the world.

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.
