Many people feel intimidated by the idea of family therapy-and that’s completely normal. It can be a vulnerable and sometimes scary process. But it’s also one of the most powerful ways to create lasting change.

Individual therapy can be transformative, but we don’t grow in isolation. We’re all part of complex webs of relationships, and it can be hard to maintain progress when those systems stay the same. Family therapy invites the entire system into the room, creating the opportunity for real, sustainable change-together.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I bring specialized training in Virginia Satir’s experiential model, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, family-centered Solution-Focused Therapy and more. I feel confident in my ability to help your family feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout the process.

In family therapy, your relationship with one another is the client-not any one individual. I don’t take sides. I honor each person’s perspective and help you move toward healthier, more connected ways of relating. Families come in all shapes, sizes, and constellations. I look forward to working with your unique family, just as you are.

Working with queer clients and their families has also highlighted the limitations of traditional family therapy models. Many existing approaches can fall short when addressing the unique relational dynamics and systemic pressures that queer families navigate. In response, I developed the Queer-Adjusted Systemic Lens (QASL) -a framework that integrates systemic thinking with a queer-affirming perspective to better meet the needs of LGBTQIA+ clients and their families.
