My tailored approach incorporates techniques like Internal Family Systems, EMDR, play therapy, sand tray therapy, art, movement and humor to create a safe, engaging space for authentic self-expression.
If you’re reading this, you’re likely experiencing a tough time in life. I want to be there to make sure you don’t have to go through it alone. My approach focuses on guiding clients to confront and understand the difficult parts of themselves rather than trying to eliminate them. Whether dealing with trauma, marital conflict, or a child’s challenging behavior, I believe that meaningful change comes from learning to work with these 'difficult' parts. Every aspect of ourselves has a purpose, even if it no longer serves us. There is no such thing as a bad part of us. Together, we can explore these aspects to foster healing and growth.

It is full of moments that can feel overwhelming and get in the way of your happiness, health, and well-being. You may have been feeling great in life, when seemingly out of nowhere something feels off or taking the next step in life seems daunting. Regardless of the situation, our attachments, experiences, cognition, and family-of-origin can impact our lives in a variety of ways that can be difficult to handle alone.

You do not need the cooperation of others to make improvements in your marriage or family relationships, so it is useful to come alone when necessary.
Life has a tendency to throw unexpected situations, problems, and experiences at us. During these times, it is wise to seek guidance for our personal lives, marriages, families, and professional situations. Together, we will examine your current life situation, what is achievable, and how to move forward. Characteristics of narcissism, controlling behaviors, and problematic situations can affect one's mental health significantly. I work both with the person who struggles with these problems as well as those who are in relationships with that person. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

Through techniques like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Family Systems, I help clients gain insight into themselves and experience more fulfilling, meaningful relationships.
You may be struggling with past relationship wounds, family dynamics that still impact you, or feeling like something keeps holding you back from truly connecting with others. Perhaps you’re navigating a big life transition—starting a new relationship, becoming a parent, or facing the end of one chapter—and want to feel more at peace, seen, and valued. You’re seeking a space where you can heal, explore your identity, and build healthier, fulfilling relationships without giving up your dreams or goals. You’re ready to understand yourself more deeply and find a balance between being true to yourself and nurturing your connections.

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.
