My orientation is family systems, which means even when there is only one person in my office, I view that person in the context of emotional systems in which he or she is embedded–family, work, friendships–and try to help the person recognize forces that are acting upon them. What are the "rules" of those systems? What expectations did someone grow up with, for example, around marriage and family? What lessons were learned about sexuality and religion, about work and play, fitting in vs. going one’s own way, and all the other challenges and choices that life presents?

My areas of expertise are: anxiety, depression, "adulting", substance abuse/addiction, self-harm, "pandemic fatigue", disordered eating, trauma resolution, life transitions, relationships, communications, values, life skills, grief and loss, and family systems.
It's hard to be happy when your life is out of balance: You feel down or sad. The activities you used to enjoy are no longer fun. You have no energy. Everything stresses you out. You feel like crying. You want to crawl into a hole and pull the hole in with you. Maybe you're hurt and angry over a relationship. Maybe you're a teenager whose parents don't understand you or you're the parent of a kid who's making dangerous choices. Maybe you're a young adult who has discovered that "adulting" is a lot harder than you thought.

Overall wellness is often a process, one in which we may have the desire to pursue but lack the skillset to achieve. I strive to come along side of you in your pursuit to invest in yourself and mental wellbeing.

In my experience, the only constant in life is change, whether it be a job, a living situation, a move, a relationship, the death of a loved one, trauma, or countless other changes we encounter and create. Change, even a desire for change, can often feel overwhelming when we do not know what action to take or if we should take any action at all. My focus is on helping my individual, couple, and family clients feel empowered to handle the challenges they face leading up to, during, and following life changes. I will listen without judgement and offer support and compassion as clients do the courageous work of leaning into change.

The opposite of traumatized isn't content. The opposite of addicted isn't sober. The opposite of depressed isn't happy. I believe that the opposite of all emotional unrest is connection. Through connecting in a meaningful way to me as your therapist, we will walk a path toward making meaningful connections in your life, and being present and engaged in the connections you already value so deeply. I work primarily with survivors of trauma who struggle to figure out why things seem more difficult for them than for those around them. My clients often seek peace when they’ve often felt like life is harder for them than for others.

Sometimes our old patterns and beliefs (arising from earlier unresolved experiences) prevent us from living our present-day life and relationships with the creativity, peace, and joy we desire. Perhaps we are missing one of our best resources, our capacity to listen and respond to our body's story (autonomic nervous system) with compassion and support. When we learn these updated listening skills, our whole being feels more seen, heard, and "welcomed home" by us!

The therapeutic progress provides the opportunity to reflect on one's life, to understand one's feelings, thoughts, behaviors and motivations, to realize new perspectives and to be listened to with respect and attention. Psychotherapy allows for the healing of wounds, reclaiming of dreams and living a life that is more authentic and meaningful.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
