This year in particular has heightened underlying feelings of anxiety and depression for many of us. Others may experience ongoing struggles with addiction, trauma, relationships or perhaps a strong inner critic. I think of therapy as a grounding, non-judgmental and encouraging space which allows us to seek to make sense of these problems collaboratively.

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.

As a child psychologist I work with many children who struggle with a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges. It is vital to address these challenges early in a child’s development and to provide individualized treatment, tailored to the needs of the child and the family . Therapy will offer your child the opportunity to express their concerns, understand their emotions, and develop coping skills. In my work with adolescents I aim to help them to find balance between their emerging independence and their ongoing reliance on the adults in their lives.

You're ambitious, social, and dependable. But it's a rat race out there, and you're exhausted. To everyone else, you've got it all together. You work tirelessly to keep everyone around you happy, but your efforts never feel satisfactory. You're highly self-critical, and at times, your own worst enemy. You're juggling friendships, dating, work, family - and it's taking a toll. It's overwhelming, even lonely at times, and you can't seem to get a break.

Looking for the right therapist that’s a good fit is not easy . Hopefully I can help your children- family feel more content. Every child and family has a story to tell that must heard for emotional well being. As a child and family psychotherapist, I incorporate play-talk therapy & feelings games: I created a new "Petals Parenting Technique" for quicker easier solutions. I enjoy working with families on becoming Behavior-Detectives, investigating the hidden feelings and emotional needs hiding underneath behaviors. Listening with EMPATHY and Compassion plus learning new skills really works. Please reach out if this resonates!

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.
