I love working with people who are having relationship issues— romantic or otherwise. I can help you figure out the things you truly want, where you get stuck, or where you get in your own way. We'll work together to make change happen fast so that what you want is more likely to become reality. I won’t just nod and smile, so if you're looking for someone who doesn't tiptoe around things, you're on the right profile.

My clients don't come to therapy to hear someone nod and agree with everything they say—that's not worth their time or money. They want real help. They want to know "what to do" and "how to fix it" because they're struggling with depression, severe anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, suicidal thoughts, parenting issues, and other painful situations. They are looking for a true expert that they can actually talk to. I am a member of PSYPACT which means I can see clients in every state that is a member of PSYPACT and I'm also licensed in MA.

Currently accepting a limited number of clients... ... ... You are the most important person in the room and our partnership matters while on the therapy journey. Are you are having difficulty in making lemonade from life's-lemons, difficulty adjusting to changes, dealing with the unexpected stress of life? The therapy process is totally focused on the person, client...you. Expect a warm, welcoming and positive atmosphere where you are unconditionally received. I believe that many things can positively be affected when a person feels encouraged, believed in, and safe. I also enjoy a sense of humor, laughter and relationship.

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.
