I provide individual and family counseling to adults, adolescents and children.

It does not matter if you are an adult or a child, male or female, everyone has a desire to be heard and understood.

My ideal client is a child or preteen navigating challenges like anxiety, defiance, or adjusting to changes at home or school. They may struggle with managing their emotions, building confidence, or connecting with others. Their family seeks support to better understand their child and foster emotional growth. The goal is for the child to feel more confident, improve their emotional regulation, and build stronger relationships, while the family gains tools to create a more harmonious and supportive environment.

My role as your counselor is to assist you in being able to deal with life's issues. I have a fairly simple approach. I work with you to identify the root of the problems in your life (depression, anxiety, family conflict, stress, issues with kids, etc), and then we collaborate together to find solutions that fit your needs with the goal of a healthier, manageable and more fulfilling life. Also, I know that life is hectic and I do my best to accommodate your schedule at my physical office, as well as offering telemedicine services if that is more suitable for your busy schedule.

I enjoy working with adults, children and adolescents.

Life is not always easy. Anxiety, depression, addiction, conflict, major life changes such as the death of a loved one, entering college, divorce, etc., and everyday stressors can result in loneliness, anger, compulsiveness, and a feeling of hopelessness. However, therapeutic interventions provided in an atmosphere of acceptance and respect allow individuals to develop new ways to overcome and/or cope with these challenges. I am eager to listen, help you gain insight, provide resources and share tools that can help you transition to a life that aligns with your personal values and goals.

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.
