On Sabbatical. My practice will reopen on 06/05/2023. My goal is to get clients unstuck from whatever kinds of issues or dysfunction that is getting in the way of their wellbeing. That means both processing and healing from past events, while also understanding that not everything is in our control. This process is hard, and it can elicit a lot of reactions, which is where it can be helpful to have a therapist walk you through it and provide support along the way. I find it incredibly fulfilling to have those aha! moments in therapy, and I'm committed to helping every client and
family
experience growth in our time together.

**Currently not accepting new Clients**. Life can be challenging at times and wrought with frustrations, sadness or anxieties. However, with therapy, those challenges don't have to be insurmountable. I believe therapy is about guiding you toward an emotionally healthy path in order to create the life you desire. The fact that you are searching for a therapist who feels like a "good fit" for you or your
family
, is an important first step (and a very courageous one). My goal is to support you along your journey by providing a non-judgmental and respectful atmosphere, as we jointly work toward you finding personal contentment.

Systems (IFS) therapy, a powerful and effective approach to healing that helps individuals and couples understand and integrate all parts of themselves.
As a therapist, I understand that the breakdown of communication is a significant issue that many couples face today, leading to feelings of disconnection and unhappiness. Couples have a strong desire to feel heard and understood by their partner and to work through conflicts or misunderstandings. I partner with my clients to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their feelings and experiences, learn effective communication skills, and receive compassionate guidance and support. My approach is gentle, encouraging, supportive and strong, providing a non-judgmental space for people to work through their issues.

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.
