In family therapy, I am experientially-oriented.
Specializing in complex trauma and chronic childhood traumatization, I am a Emdria Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, and teach EMDR nationally with the EMDR Institute as a Facilitator. EMDR is the top choice of the World Health Organization for trauma, given both research validation, and EMDR's ability to heal without clients re-living or speaking excessively about terrible events. Integration of other methods such as Ego State Therapy enables me to treat the complex trauma spectrum, from CPTSD to dissociative disorders. Many treatment-resistant or confusing symptoms are the result of complex trauma. I treat all ages.

I have been married for 36 years and raised a family.
I have been in full-time private practice as a clinical and counseling psychologist for 31 years. I completed a hospital internship and have spent my career seeing not only patients with emotional disorders, but also patients with medical diagnoses such as chronic pain, cancer, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and morbid obesity. I have considerable experience with psychological testing and use tests to help patients' physicians and psychiatrists find the optimal psychotropic medications for their symptoms. I have been trained in traditional psychodynamic therapy but also employ a variety of treatment modalities including cognitive and behavioral therapies and family therapy.

I have been married for 35 years and we have raised a family.
I completed a hospital internship, have taught psychology at the university level, and I am now in private practice. I frequently see patients who have been in treatment previously with little improvement. Careful diagnostic investigation often reveals an incomplete diagnosis and consequently the wrong treatment plan. A careful evaluation of your problems will be my first priority and we will jointly develop a treatment plan. I have extensive experience in the testing and treatment of childhood and adolescent disorders including ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Autism Spectrum disorders, Depression, Phobias and Anxiety Disorders.

My goal as a therapist is to meet clients where they are and walk alongside them on their journey to find peace and healing in a non-judgmental, safe space. We all suffer and have struggles, but we each have the capacity for growth and building a life that promotes health and well-being. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership that supports and empowers individuals to heal mind, body, and spirit, freeing themselves from past and present pain to create lasting positive change. My desire is to help others gain the tools and confidence to face and overcome life’s challenges long after therapy ends.

Starting therapy can feel like an intimidating experience and finding a therapist you can connect with is so important! I am a somatic trauma focused psychotherapist. I'm known for my empathic, engaged, and assertive nature. Often our bodies are communicating with us and we have severed that connection. In creative and supportive ways I will guide you back to understanding emotion and feeling safe enough to experience and release emotion.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and work from an integrative theoretical approach incorporating Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as Play Therapy with children.
When life becomes unpredictable and overwhelming it can feel isolating and lonely. As a therapist, my goal is to ensure that each client feels heard, validated and safe, always knowing that there is someone there to listen and provide support. At times, we can feel that we need to hide our anxiety, depression, relational issues and worries. I offer a place where you are able to fully be yourself, where it is okay, not to be okay. My goal for each session is for you to feel supported and empowered to overcome obstacles and create an environment that promotes positive change.

Feeling seen, heard, and understood can be some of the most empowering feelings we experience in life. On the other hand, feeling lost, misunderstood, disconnected, and overwhelmed can be extremely isolating. Whether this is due to trauma, life transitions, identity, relationships, dysfunctional family dynamics, anxious/depressive thoughts, etc. I know how hard it is to feel alone. Therapy can be a great tool to know yourself fully, work through those isolating experiences and feelings, and ultimately live more authentically.

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.
