Counseling approaches used include existential, gestalt, Internal Family Systems, structural family, and cognitive-behavioral.
Life is hard and there are no instructions. Sometimes we struggle with the big issues like death, anxiety, isolation and meaninglessness. Often, our relationship with family and other loved ones has has been challenging and painful. Substance use can truly destroy a life. For some there are specific quirks that are causing problems. Most of these issues require in-depth exploration; developing a better relationship to our minds, self and others; increased mindfulness and engagement with the world; and specific behavioral change. Having a trusted guide can be a great help.

My specific training and approaches include family systems theory, the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).
Perhaps you find yourself here because you are ready for a change that's been a long time coming. You might be stuck in the same ways of interacting in your relationships, even if they cause pain and hinder connection. Or, you may find yourself painfully reliving your past traumas and hardships, no matter how hard you try to press on. Yes, even for you, it is possible to find a new way of living with more freedom, intimacy and connection. But, this can be hard without help along the way.

Or is the pain of GRIEF over the death of a loved one or the loss of a relationship or professional situation overwhelming? Strained couples' relationships, all sorts of grief experiences, RELIGious trauma, and other issues leave us feeling broken, unfulfilled, and yearning for peace that lives despite our circumstances.

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.
