I work with couples who are experiencing interpersonal distress associated with negative cycles of communication and disconnection. I utilize Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy to help build insight into the attachment issues underlying each other's reactivity within the cycle. In addition, I address attachment trauma utilizing EMDR, Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems, helping to build understanding and compassion within the relationship.

I have also worked for many years with older clients, and often work with older individuals and couples to assist them with family challenges and couples issues.
My work has strongly focused on at-risk children, adolescents, and families and the use of tested and effective treatments. I have had many years of experience with children and youth at risk due to problem behaviors and ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, delinquency, and other risks out of children's control, such as poverty, parental corrections involvement, and foster care. I most typically work directly with parents (and other adults) who are experiencing difficulties with parenting strategies, stress and anxiety, depression, and/or alcohol and substance use.

Play therapy and family integration are vital elements of my practice when working with children and families.
I view therapy as an avenue to transform our pain into our teacher. My role is to provide a safe, trusting relationship for individuals to express themselves, explore their emotions, and probe their patterns and the systems in which they live.

While my treatment approach draws most heavily from CBT, Solutions Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, EFT, IFS, Gottman and Structural Family Therapy, I remain fluid in my approach, and tailor my work to each individual, family or couple I work with.
My goal is to help individuals, couples and families experience healthier and happier lives and relationships by providing them with a safe and accepting space to navigate and overcome the challenges they’re facing. I strive to create a collaborative therapeutic process that is encouraging and empowering and work with clients to discover their strengths while helping them to understand the “why” of negative patterns and how to make their hoped-for changes. I primarily work with clients who have experienced/are experiencing life transitions, stressors, anxiety, depression, marriage/relationship distress and family conflicts.

With couples, the focus is on improving communication, while family therapy focuses on the interrelationships within the family structure.
"YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANOTHER PERSON'S EXPERIENCE UNTIL YOU WALK A MILE IN THEIR SHOES." That's especially true regarding the thoughts and feelings that often surround deeply personal issues. My practice is informed by my own life experiences as well as a nuanced understanding of the complexity of human nature. Together we will build the degree of trust and rapport necessary for you to: identify maladaptive patterns, challenge negative beliefs, gain insight into past and present events and most importantly, use this information to create permanent positive change in your relationships and the way you think and feel about yourself.

I've learned that a family systems approach can be critical in assisting families to become more functional so everyone can get their needs met and thrive.
I've been helping people with the "hard stuff" for a long time. I decided to work in the field of domestic violence in 1998 by way of intervention programs for both men and women who were convicted of an assault or who self identified as wanting to end their use of abuse with their loved ones. I opened my own business in 2000 specializing in anger management, domestic violence, parent education for children and teens, co-parenting education, and a program for parents who were convicted of abuse or neglect. I became a mediator in 2014 and I have conducted thousands of child custody, parenting plan, and family conflict mediations.

Whether YOU, your spouse, or your adolescent child is experiencing depression/anxiety, the entire family may suffer.
These are extremely stressful times but you do not have to face it all alone. Depression and anxiety can lead, if left untreated, to isolation and self-destructive behaviors. Relationships may suffer and facing each day can feel overwhelming! In therapy, we work on restoring relationships. We work together to understand why you do what you do - then, change will come! Destructive patterns can be conquered. Trauma, stress, conflict, and great loss CAN lose their power.

I incorporate many modalities but my base is in psychodynamic/relational therapy. This is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the interpersonal relationships and dynamics of an individual (I also explore the family system). This type of therapy emphasizes the importance of relationships in shaping an individual's well-being and mental health. Relational therapy aims to help clients explore and understand how their past and current relationships impact their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By examining patterns of interaction, communication styles, and attachment styles, clients can gain insight into their relational struggles.

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.
