My approach to working with people goes beyond traditional talk therapy to apply the discoveries of new brain science, using methods of EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Much of the work I do with people is short term. My intent is to help you recover from past traumas; make the changes you want in your life now; and learn tools you can apply to any challenges that may arise in your future. My experience of working with people for 20 years is that we all have within us what is needed to live life fully and create happiness for ourselves and others.

I work with individuals, couples and families - with an emphasis on exploring how our relationships inform our sense of ourselves, and how the way we experience ourselves informs our relationships. My approach blends a psychodynamic focus on individual experience and perspective with a relational interest in understanding people in context. Clients describe my style as warm, curious, and collaborative. My aim is to create a safe space in which you can express yourself freely, and freely pursue difficult questions. I believe that coming to know yourself is one of life’s greatest privileges and a pre-cursor to relating authentically.

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.
