Family Therapy

I have been working with couples and families for my entire career. I have developed an effective approach to help families ands couples stop blaming and to develop a solutions-focus. We can work on effective conflict resolution so that partners and families are able to reconnect as partners/groups.

I have 2 years post masters training in family therapy. I am an approved supervisor with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy ( AAMFT). I have been a practicing family therapist for over 30 years. Besides therapy, I have provided supervision, consultation, and training in working with families in various settings both here and abroad

Even when working with individuals, it's important to understand family dynamics. We are not completely separate from our families of origin (who we grow up with), despite our best efforts. Family therapists are curious about what you learned from your family about relationships, apologizing, gender roles, sexuality, apologizing, boundaries, and so much more. That doesn't mean every session is about your family, but when it's important we talk about it.

My passion is to help families who are hanging on by a string. The love that parents have for their children is universal. Every parent wants to provide their children with more than what they had growing up. But the blueprint of parenting that we were raised by is entirely different from the blueprint needed to raise a teen in our ever-changing, technology-driven, modern day culture. Parenting is the most humbling journey with the most steep learning curve but you are not alone.

As a family therapist, I see families as interconnected systems where changes for one member can ripple through the entire family. My role is to guide your family through these changes. In my office, everyone is encouraged to participate—because the more voices, the richer the insights and outcomes! I specialize in improving communication and mutual understanding among family members as you adapt and overcome challenges together.

Integrating family into the work with children and adolescents is key and family therapy is a big part of the work I do. For young people struggling with disordered eating, I am also trained in Family Based Therapy specifically for supporting families in feeding their child.

With four years of experience in family therapy, I specialize in structural and strategic family approaches to help families build healthier interactions and boundaries. These evidence-based methods are particularly effective in helping families navigate complex issues and foster a supportive environment that encourages growth and resilience.

I've been providing family therapy for four years, using structural and strategic skills.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I am comprehensively trained in family therapy and systems theory. I have worked successfully and consistently with families for the last ten years.

I work with the entire family to improve communication, increase connection and restore harmony.

I have completed training in Functional Family Therapy. It is a 3 stage model that seeks to identify the underlying emotions that are leading to the conflict in the family, then choosing specific skills to address these and make change, and finally to discuss how to maintain the changes made during therapy.
