You never imagined starting a family would be this way. You're overwhelmed, tired, and the loneliness is unbearable. Pregnancy, miscarriage, and becoming a new parent can leave you (or your partner) feeling depressed, anxious, and hopeless. Many women who are pregnant or a new parent suffer in silence; feeling like they can't tell anyone about what they're going though. Anxiety and depression do not have to control your life. I'm here to help and give you the tools you need to survive.

I work with individuals, couples and adolescents. I am psychodynamic in philosophy but eclectic in my training and approach. Each person's treatment needs are different, so therapy is often a combination of psychotherapy, insight, cognitive and behavioral. I am aware of the many stressors that come to bear on our lives and address the emotional problems that arise with family, work, and interpersonal relationships. I help people cope with and learn from the challenging tasks of living life.

Feeling frustrated because their significant other just doesn't understand! Are you walking on eggshells? Having the same fight over and over again? Wondering if things will ever change?

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.
