I work with individuals, couples/co-parents, and families. I see children in play therapy from three years old and up as well as adolescents. I work with many families going through the difficult family transition of separation/divorce/remarriage/grief. I enjoy working with couples and utilizing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to remind couples to acknowledge, appreciate and respect their differences. I found the MBTI to be especially beneficial to couples considering marriage or long-term commitments.

On most days, you’re the one giving the help, not asking for it. You are the person your family, coworkers, and friends come to when there is a crisis or they need advice. After years of being the rock for loved ones, on top of trying to manage your own life, you now find yourself exhausted, feeling depleted, and struggling to maintain this role you've performed for so long. You feel like you're on the edge - if you don’t do something now you worry you’ll unravel.

I commonly address concerns, such as, but not limited to, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, family & life transitions, challenges stemming from early childhood, spirituality, and grief & loss.
Sometimes, it's overwhelming trying to 'keep up' or 'fix' things on your own. Maybe you don't know exactly what you need, but you know you want to feel better. There may be things from your past that you have tried to move past, but they just keep creeping up again. I strive to come alongside individuals and families of all ages to help them overcome challenges, find meaning and joy in life, experience renewed strength, find true hope, and become mentally and emotionally healthy individuals. My core methods are evidence based and I keep a wholistic perspective- recognizing people as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual beings.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
