You’re overwhelmed. Despite all you do, you feel unsupported and unfulfilled. You’re overburdened and under-appreciated by your partner. You know you were put on this planet for more than endless laundry folding. Where did you go wrong? You were filled with such hope and abilities a few years ago. Even an invitation to go out with your girlfriends feels like a chore. It’s hard to be present with your family while it feels like your life is slipping away. Your self-help books lie in a heap on your nightstand. Your friends seem to have it all together – Why are you so stuck?

Are you struggling with constant thoughts about the “what ifs” or worst case scenarios in your life? Are there things that you have to do in a certain way or else it doesn’t feel right or it feels like something bad will happen? I specialize in OCD, Anxiety & Depression. I help individuals who are stuck in a cycle of worrying and getting more caught up in preventing fears from coming true rather than actually living their lives. You may try to find relief and answers to your fears by searching the internet for hours or even asking for reassurance from your friends, significant other, and family constantly.

I have facilitated family, couples and group counseling sessions.
I do my best work with male clientele. Most of my clients are comprised of teenagers and college-aged males. My efficacy, particularly with adolescents, has its genesis in my sincerity, non-judgmental manner, knowledge of technology and disarming sense of humor. It is not uncommon to hear from parents, “we have taken our son to three other therapists and you are the only one he will talk to.” I also work well with college-aged males who have difficulty transitioning from high school to young adulthood. I have also worked with veterans and members of law enforcement; trust is paramount in my relationships with all my clients.

It takes courage to seek support for yourself or a family member.

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.
