I believe that issues don’t exist in a vacuum—they exist within relationships. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I specialize in systemic change, meaning I help you change the patterns, not just treat the symptoms.
Insight and Action
I provide more than just a fresh perspective; I offer support, teach problem-solving skills, and help you develop enhanced coping strategies to create lasting change.
I work with individuals, couples, and families to address a wide range of challenges, including:
- Relationship and Family Issues: Chronic conflict, communication breakdown, infidelity, co-parenting challenges, and navigating life transitions (marriage, blending families, empty nest).
- Emotional Well-Being: Depression, anxiety, unresolved childhood issues, grief, and stress management.
- Personal Growth: Body image issues, creative blocks, and building self-awareness for meaningful personal growth.
Therapy is an active process. The lasting benefits you gain will depend on your commitment to putting into practice what we learn together to manage the hassles of daily life and foster healthy interpersonal relationships.
Why Choose a Marriage & Family Therapist (MFT)?
Choosing an MFT means selecting a therapist who is specifically trained to view your concerns in the context of your relationships, whether it’s your current partner, your family of origin, or your workplace.
The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) highlights the unique effectiveness of this approach:
Research repeatedly demonstrates the effectiveness of marriage and family therapy in treating the full range of mental and emotional disorders and health problems. This includes conditions such as marital distress, conflict, depression, anxiety, and challenges faced by adolescents.
Clients are highly satisfied with MFT services, reporting marked improvement in:
- Partner and family relationships
- Work productivity and co-worker relationships
- Emotional and overall health
Over 98% of clients report therapy services as good or excellent, making MFTs the mental health professionals they are most likely to recommend to friends.
