In addition to being an independent practioner, I am a partner in the Family Center For Psychological Services with Dr.
Having been in private practice for approximately 25 years, as well as having worked in hospital, clinic, and school settings, I 've found people are unique individuals typically involved in a variety of systems including family, friends, school, or work. As a result, I've found it important to focus on individual makeup (nature vs. nurture) and environmental influences. Creating a respectful, warm, engaging atmosphere helps facilitate the therapuetic process. Research has shown that the therapuetic relationship between client and psychologist has proved most valuable in creating healthy and productve changes and an improved quality of life.

I have been working with families for over 30 years. During this time I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and couples. Many people begin therapy to work towards moving aside obstacles or issues that prevent movement forward, whatever that looks like to them...it is all individual. Although my expertise has always been in working with adolescents dealing with social, emotional, family or school issues, I feel equally capable when working with a family, a couple or an individual towards their goal.

Life can certainly be a struggle at times. Aging, whether you are just beginning to feel it or you have been moving through it for some time, is hard. Feelings of loss, depression, anger, shame, guilt and/or anxiety can waylay us and make it difficult to cope. Problems with independence, relationships, family conflicts, health issues, professional work and grief from loss can all be overwhelming. Exploring these issues in a safe, supportive environment can be helpful. By understanding what is triggering these feelings and developing tools to assist in coping, things can be less difficult and enjoyable again.

The mind is where everything is processed which determines how an individual thinks, believes, and reacts to the game of life. Blurred vision does not discriminate. It can allow unwanted thoughts to take over and set the individual on a path that is not demonstrating a "Beautiful Expression of Life". Everything starts and ends in the mind therefore, the life scripts of your mind (way of thinking) needs to be accountable to living life more abundantly and loving yourself. This premise is crucial as one navigates life's relationships of spirituality, family, vocation, and leisure.

Are you tired of holding it all together? All your life, you’ve had to be the best, do the best, and rise above your family trauma. At first, the load wasn’t that heavy. But now you’re not sure how much longer you can be the one everyone counts on. You’re exhausted by the pursuit of perfection. And for once you’d like permission to underachieve. To everyone else, you seem confident, successful, and put together. But they don’t know you’re struggling to keep yourself from crumbling to pieces. If it feels like too much, it’s because it is too much. You shouldn’t have to live every day holding on for dear life.

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.
