I have helped couples and individuals heal outdated beliefs and attitudes about themselves and relationships by looking at their family of origin.
I have helped couples for 30 years to transform their relationship using Imago Relationship Therapy. I teach couples a communication skill set that foster emotional maturity and respect. This changes relationships. Being in relationship can be challenging during the second stage of relationship when the newness recedes and irritations begins. The Imago model increases consciousness and healing around the origins of conflict. This awareness empowers couples in their ability to change so they are no longer victims to dysfunctional patterns. I incorporate a psycho-spiritual approach in my Imago work as well as individual counseling.

You think you should've already figured out your relationships, your career, your family, etc.
Do you resent your partner? Are you facing cancer or dementia together? Is ADHD is complicating things? Maybe you found out that they have been cheating, or you can’t remember the last time you had sex. Relationships can be messy and painful when we stop seeing each other’s hearts. We build walls, cast blame, walk away, or beg them to keep loving us.

For individual, couples, or family counseling, I typically start with an 80-minute session to gain an understanding of each person's background, worldview, and perspective of the presenting issue.
Are you asking yourself, "Am I strong enough to get through this?" When life presents us with challenges that seem too difficult to bear, we often get stuck in a mental cycle that repeats, "Life isn't fair." I won't tell you otherwise, but I will help you find the strength to go on anyway. In my work with oncology, grief, trauma, and couples in conflict, I have worked with clients in unimaginable physical and emotional pain. Together, we uncover and process the emotions that cause anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, insecurity, and that sinking feeling that you may never get back to "you."

I often combine Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapies in my practice.
Is there something that you use, say, think, or do, that you wish you didn't? Have you attended rehab or traditional therapy before, but still feel like you just can't get it right? Do you feel like you "have all the tools," but struggle to integrate them? Do you wish you could just STOP using, saying, thinking, or doing, all of those problematic things? Do you wish you could find the thing that could help? Would you believe me if I told you that the one you have been waiting for is you? Not the one that knows what to do; but, the one that is curious and compassionate. It is possible for you to heal and be your authentic self.

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.
