Systems Approach

Families are living, breathing systems - and when one part struggles, the whole system feels it.  That's why I am passionate about working not only with individuals, but also with couples and families, to uncover the patterns that shape relationships and create lasting change.

Having grown up in a blended family and now being part of one as an adult, I bring both personal understanding and professional expertise to the many ways modern families take shape.  This allows me to offer support and interventions uniquely tailored to each family's needs.

In many cases, families come to therapy with one person identified as the "problem."  More often than not, that person is carrying the weight of the entire system - shouldering unspoken or unresolved issues that belong to the family as a whole.  This is where my work begins.  After an initial process of gathering information and understanding your unique dynamics, I help bring light to issues that may feel overwhelming or hidden.  With willing participation from each member, we can work together to increase insight, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and enhance overall well-being - not just for the identified individual, but for all.

I believe that no outside expert can ever know your family better than you do.  You are the expert on your system.  My role is to partner with you and your loved ones, helping each person and their voice, express it with clarity, and listen deeply to one another.  From there, true change and healing becomes possible.
