My ideal client is ready to challenge themselves to do the work and is tired of feeling stuck or on autopilot. You may have long struggled with focus, sticking to a plan, anxiety, or follow-through. You may find you're still living your life according to your upbringing, rather than in the present. As a result, you may feel overwhelmed, depressed, like you've wasted time, or have no control. I enjoy helping people through life transitions. I also have expertise working with people in startups and technology fields, decision making, and adult ADHD. If you are ready to make some changes, but need a partner, consider reaching out.

Does past trauma, worry, sadness, and/or anger prevent you from living fully in the present? If you are here, chances are you answered yes to one or all of the above. Life can be challenging; traumas and fears come in all forms and one is not more important than the next. People that connect with me are diverse and so are their reasons for seeking therapy.

I often work with people struggling to reconcile their feelings, beliefs and ambitions with the constraints of work, school, family, society, etc.
I offer safe harbor for distress and instill a generative curiosity. In our work together, we awaken your ability to dream and build a better life. I am a therapist who is both warm and challenging. I use a combination of insight and skills-based approaches. My patients report greater ease "being" with themselves and others. They become more adept at "doing," meeting life's challenges in new, unexpected ways. Without being preachy, I bring attention to culture, social norms, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class to help my patients find freedom, connection, and rehumanization.

I believe that therapy is a space for getting in touch with your life, exploring what's led you to this moment, and envisioning a future that you can believe in. Drawing from my previous career in improvised music, I'm particularly interested in creatively exploring issues such as perfectionism, anxiety, low self-esteem, gender roles and socialization, relationships, spirituality, and creating purpose.

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.
