Do your relationships feel unfulfilling and stuck in the same frustrating patterns, no matter how hard you try to change them? You give so much of yourself but still feel unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. You may be in a relationship that feels confusing, unstable, or emotionally distant. Together, we can develop helpful techniques for you to use outside of sessions and bring about positive change in your life by interrupting these patterns. If you're carrying trauma, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, you deserve support. I’d be honored to offer a space where you can breathe, heal, and reconnect with yourself.

Welcome! I view symptoms as messengers of deeper emotional truths that have yet to be acknowledged and felt. Oftentimes, the more we try to avoid or resist them, the stronger they insist on being heard. Through your earliest relationships, you learned which pieces of yourself to hide to maintain connection; which emotions were safe to express; and what to expect from others. Over time, these patterns internalized and became the way you relate to yourself and others. You might have learned to suppress your anger, to feel responsible for others’ actions, or that closeness results in disappointment.

My office on the east side is a low keyed space where anyone can feel welcome and at home to talk ( or play or draw or write) about what is bothering them.

Not just with family and friends
So much of our anxiety, fears, and unrest come from not feeling seen and heard. From my time as a teacher and therapist I have learned how powerful nonjudgmental listening can be. In our work together you can be sure your thoughts and feelings will be held in a space full of openness and compassion.

Too often, therapy glosses over the fact that, at times, life is painful and messy. As much as some might try to fix or avoid this truth, most people are surprised by what comes from gently learning to embrace it instead. So, in session, I hold space for those sitting across from me—for their discomfort and conflicts, how they make sense of their inner and outer worlds, how they show up and interact, and how they hold themselves back. Moving beyond the surface in therapy allows us to more profoundly understand our struggles, ourselves, and our relationship with others. In time, this understanding leads us to a freer, fuller life.

Family Therapy Therapists
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.
