My passions: My family, including my Bernedoodle/therapy sidekick Baloo! Cultivating relationships I care about; Learning and exploring the nature of consciousness; Traveling the world; Music- funk/jazz/blues/world/hiphop/rock, and playing drums; Snowboarding, surfing, moving my body, & the outdoors.
I favor a laid back approach to the therapeutic process. My space is colorful, full of plants, and usually has an album humming in the background. I want to create an atmosphere that inspires you to explore your concerns with curiosity, not one that feels like it has expectations. Whether you want to tweak things here and there, or you want to dive as deep as possible, let's do it! Because everyone is unique, I don't have a one-size-fits-all approach. I want to figure out what works best for YOU, in a way that actually feels good. Our struggles can be our greatest teachers, we just have to learn how to listen to them :)

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.
