As a therapist, I consider it a privilege to assist individuals, as they walk through and process life experiences and traumas. Life, work, and relationships can leave us feeling burnt out and imprisoned. Our ability to live life to the fullest often hinges on our perspective and choices. In creating a safe and non-judgmental environment, I seek to provide an opportunity for individuals to explore a deeper sense of self and discover the life they want to live.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
