Today our complicated and fast-paced lives are full of pressures that challenge us in countless ways. "How can I find happiness in my marriage?", "How do I cope with...?", and "Why do I feel so out of control?" are some of the questions I hear from clients seeking to understand their life journey and questioning what they can do to reach their true potential - individually, as a couple, or as a family. Soul searching is rarely an easy path to take, yet wanting to achieve an emotionally healthy life is usually the motivator which begins the process.

My approach draws on the wisdom found in relational and depth psychologies, as well as, Somatic Experiencing therapy, Internal Family Systems and contemplative traditions, and is rooted in psychological growth, emotional healing, spiritual transformation and, when appropriate, the use of psychedelic assisted therapy.
The journey of wholeness is one of subtlety and complexity and by its nature unfolds in a timeline unique to each of us. The center of gravity of the work is rooted in the maturation of the human heart and the conscious tending of the innate longing for purpose, meaning and aliveness. While the work is challenging to the identities and fantasies we have created, it is grounded in love, essential wisdom and desire for freedom. To make the journey with an empathic, attuned, experienced fellow traveler is one of the true mysteries of human life.

Are you tired of being so tired all of the time? I hear you! When you’re used to being the go-to person for so many in your life, you might find yourself wondering, “Who can I go to?” Inside you may feel lonely even though you have family and friends around you all the time. Telling them how you feel? Not an option. They wouldn’t understand or would only use it against you later. Things that have happened in your past might keep popping up, and you can’t understand why you are not over them yet. The feelings feel like too much and you don’t have time for a breakdown.

The path of progress comes from collaboration in an atmosphere of cooperation, education, and insight. Whether our stress is around our internal needs, people close to us, or with the state of the world, the counseling relationship is about accessing and utilizing your innate ability to learn and grow from where you are into the better life you seek. Covid-19 has disrupted nearly all our connections with friends, family, work, and community. This has brought out the unfulfilled need for connection in relationships already stressful, and has inspired people to find creative ways of strengthening connection.

Many of us deal with the stigma of what therapy means based on our family or cultural background. As a result, most of us end up traveling life without seeking therapy. As we grow, we ultimately arrive at a cross road in life where we feel stuck and unsure about what life choices we need to make. Making the decision to enter therapy is complicated and it takes courage to follow through with treatment. Finding the right therapist can also be overwhelming, and I thank you for taking the time to consider working with me as you embark on your therapeutic process.

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.
