I've done trauma-informed work with all ages and family groups in agency-based settings.
People come to therapy when they are looking for new ways to move in the world. Sometimes it's a slow realization that what worked in the past isn't cutting it anymore. Other times, it's a sudden, painful event that leaves you feeling unmoored. Maybe it's been a long-running sense that your experiences or emotions are just different from the people around you. In therapy, we work together to find a new path so that you can feel grounded, happier, and more confident.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship and family issues, and adjustment to life transitions.
Therapy can be daunting. You might be hesitant to share private issues with a stranger, or worried that it won't work. If you're having a hard time managing on your own, a substantial body of research shows that therapy can help. The secret to good therapy is that it gives you a chance to form a strong, unique relationship with someone trained to attend to your emotional needs. I can help you see your life from a different perspective, understand and change your role in your significant relationships, and learn strategies to alleviate symptoms such as chronic sadness, worry, moodiness and relationship conflict.

These are challenging fast-moving times. The demands from family , career, social and romantic relationships can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. How do we find the time to excel in our professional lives and simultaneously make room for healthy loving connections with those that are important to us? How do we manage our anxiety, sadness, and grief in real-time when we are feeling angry, confused, isolated, and perhaps abusing alcohol, drugs to numb the overwhelming sense of fear, depression, or frustration we feel in our lives? How do we live our best lives and gravitate toward healthier connections and decision making?

I am currently practicing from a psychodynamic/analytic perspective, which informs the way I understand personal experiences as shaped by cultural histories, economic conditions, family relationships, and forms of racism/prejudice & privilege.
People often come to psychotherapy after long-term frustrations, when they feel overwhelmed by a lack of possibility, in times of emotional pain, and when in a crisis. These feelings are addressed through a psychotherapeutic process in which people articulate aspects of experience they would not otherwise have a chance to explore. Through this process they not only make sense of symptoms and other forms of relational suffering, but foster increased freedom, creativity, and purpose.

I specialize in helping people work through the stresses life inevitably throws at us - relationships, work problems, family conflict, and childhood trauma.
Are you feeling anxious, sad or do you feel less energy and satisfaction than you used to? Is something in your life not working like a relationship, your career, or a life goal - leaving you feeling frustrated and stuck? I specialize in helping people work through childhood trauma, along with current day issues - workplace stress, anxiety, infertility, divorce and grief. I tend to be an "in the trenches" therapist - highly empathic, listening and responding. I use EMDR therapy and Somatic Experiencing tools when that could be a useful approach to resolve areas in which you feel triggered or anxious.

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.
