I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with some aspect of daily living - relationships,
family
, job; or who face a crisis such as illness or loss. I work to help clients understand the emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that may contribute to their difficulties. Strategies that have been adaptive or protective at an earlier time may no longer be needed and may interfere with life satisfaction. I have a flexible approach designed to strengthen coping skills and to foster resilience. My work involves both careful listening and active collaboration, with a focus on each person's unique history.

family
? Ever wake up with regret or anxiety after a night of social drinking? Unsure what you need to do to get out of this rut? People I work with are often coming to therapy with these concerns.

As a result of my post graduate training at the Ackerman Institute for the
Family
, I like to look at the whole
family
or couple as its own system.
Stress, depression, and anxiety can take its toll and cause a person to feel that they are not living up to their potential. My job as a licensed psychotherapist is to be the facilitator for your change, to help you harness your strengths, and provide you with the tools to lead you to success. Working together, you will learn how to become stronger, healthier, more positive and how to make informed decisions.

I practice Supportive Psychotherapy,
Family
Systems Therapy, CBT, and DBT.
My goal as a psychotherapist is to help you live a deliberate, self-actualized, and peaceful life. We all struggle with anxiety and depression at times. We push people away when we want them close, we act contrary to our best interest and don't know why. I can help illuminate patterns of behaviors and beliefs that impede your ability to reach your potential. Together, we can identify those invisible forces that drive your behavior and cause stagnation, pain, broken relationships, and missed opportunities. I take an anti-oppressive lens and provide space to explore the corrosive impact of external influences (ie: caste, race, gender)

Our sessions may include identifying coping skills to manage anxiety, considering how previous relationships &
family
dynamics impact our day to day, or even breaking down the latest post you saw on social media that either really resonated or hit a nerve.
I specialize in working with both individuals who are struggling to manage anxiety & looking to improve self esteem; and couples who with concerns and/or changes in their sexual relationship. As a therapist, I often explore how the messaging we receive, based on our gender, shapes the expectations we have of ourselves & impacts the relationship we have with our body, ideas of health, sex, and self worth.

My training at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, in couples and
family therapy
, provides the foundation for my work with both individuals and couples.
These are not easy times and so many of us are feeling anxious and overwhelmed. You may be feeling isolated, disconnected in your relationships, or struggling in your career. Through it all, connection is what grounds us, and therapy is based on connection. Let’s figure out together where you are stuck, where you've lost your way, and what gets in the way of warmth and closeness with the people who matter to you the most. During our time together, I will be present in an actively collaborative way as we figure out how to clear a path to the life you want.

I have worked with patients struggling with emotional obstacles,
family
issues, serious health problems, and relationship difficulties that seemed unsolvable and recently, pandemic struggles.
To quote my patients: "Isolation STINKS" "Remote work is EH", "When will I be able to date and see my friends" If these feelings resonate, I can help you work through them and come out stronger from the experience. Concurrent with my private practice, I worked as a clinical consultant for Right Management Associates, an outplacement firm. Subsequently, I was a partner at Harris, Rothenberg Int. (HRI), a global firm that provided psychological counseling to law firms and major organizations.

As a therapist I create a safe and non-judgmental space where you will feel validated and supported.

I believe that through therapy, ruptures can be repaired, and couples and families can navigate tumultuous times with greater ease and grace.

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.
