I didn’t grow up in a conventional family, but in a shifting constellation of caregivers. These weren’t just different households, they were different systems. Each one taught me how relationships function (or fail to) and left me fascinated with understanding 'the rules' followed by families or systems that function well. Before becoming a therapist I applied this same fascination to teams within businesses where it was part of my job to assess how team members were functioning psychologically and working together. I still use much of what I learned in corporations & teams when working with family systems.
I don’t just do symptom management. I help families get underneath the stuck places and into the architecture of their relational system asking questions like:
Who has what role in this family and why?
What invisible rules are being followed?
What pain has been passed down, unspoken, for generations?
What keeps getting reenacted, despite everyone’s best intentions?
My job isn’t to assign blame or referee arguments. My job is to slow down the reactivity, get into the emotional undercurrent, and help each family become a more present, conscious version of itself together.
Family therapy with me is deep, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s also liberating. We bring forward the voices that have been silenced, name the patterns that no longer serve, and work to restore connection where it’s been lost or broken.
Whether you’re navigating conflict between parents and teens, adult siblings caught in old dynamics, multi-generational pain, or just a general sense that your family keeps missing each other emotionally—I’m here to help you move from survival mode to something more whole.
Because I believe families can be more than just the place we learn to protect ourselves. They can become the place we learn to fully show up.
