I'm looking to work with clients who are struggling with life transitions and looking to make meaning out of their circumstances. I often work with couples who are navigating a relationship breach and trying to rebuild their foundation. I also work with individuals who are trying to repair or understand relationships in their lives. Sometimes I have individuals who are trying to work on their primary relationship with their partner or spouse. Other times, I have individuals looking to process their family of origin. I also work with individuals trying to process their trauma(s) and offer tools for healing.

I am also trained in EMDR and use elements of EFT, Internal Family Systems, Sandtray, Psychodrama and other experiential modalities to help my clients heal and move forward.
Do you want your relationships to be better? How about your relationship with yourself? Have you experienced trauma in important relationships and struggle with anxiety, depression, guilt, low self esteem? I believe relationships are extremely important in our growth and development. This belief begins with, and is evidenced by, the relationship I will work to form with you!

I have worked with both couples and individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma recovery, addiction issues, relationship issues, family of origin concerns and sexuality and gender issues.
I believe in therapy. It helps us become unstuck, freeing us to move closer towards our goals and who we want to be. It allows us to begin healing from our past and transforms how we feel and act in our current relationships. It gives us support in times of crisis and stress, allowing us to become even more resilient in the future. And it frees us from habitual patterns that cause suffering in our lives.

My extensive experience with working with children, teens, and parents along with my training in marriage and family systems, has made me uniquely qualified to assess and improve relationships within a family .
Life might have thrown you a new curveball that has gotten you off balance. OR nothing big has happened, but feelings of being stuck have emerged from somewhere. Psychotherapy offers you a safe place to make changes to old patterns that hold you back. I can help you navigate the uncharted path & assist in developing the insights & skills you need to thrive in life. Therapy works best when we collaborate toward created goals in a respectful & affirming setting. Our work involves identifying & working through unhealthy relationship patterns, helping to change the way you think to improve the way you feel, in order to live your life.

I tend to view the therapy process through the lens of the family system as a whole & how past influences may be hindering the way we operate in our current lives.
I work to create a welcoming atmosphere for clients to explore their lives in a new way. I have experience helping adults & couples with anxiety, depression, life transitions, communication, self-compassion, and boundary setting. By bringing more attention to our internal thoughts & feelings, we can often better understand what fears, defenses, & wounds may be getting in our way. This psychodynamic approach, IFS, as well as mindfulness & interpersonal neurobiology all inform how I connect with clients. Through our therapeutic relationship we explore your early life & bring unconscious thoughts & patterns into conscious awareness.

As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great marriage and life. You’re accomplished, always loving to each other and close with friends and family . But on the inside, you have never felt so alone. Over the years you have tried to rationalize, fix, and excuse your relationship growing apart, yet it is disheartening. Something just does not feel right anymore, and you begin to realize you feel like you have a roommate rather than a partnership. Maintaining a fulfilling and loving relationship can be a challenge in today's fast paced environment.

Your path to recovery from addiction emerges from the hope that life can be better. Yet, finding the path and moving forward can sometimes be overwhelming. Helping you start that journey in a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate way is my goal. You may be questioning if you or a family member really has a problem with alcohol or drugs and to what degree or you need more information and support yourself.

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.
