I believe that seeking help from a therapist takes strength and courage. When I see clients, it is my goal to compassionately and collaboratively address the issues that are most difficult, and help lead and guide them in their process of resolving concerns. I believe people have incredible abilities, thus one of my primary goals is to help explore, process and improve the manifestations of these strengths. I am passionate about helping people improve individual, couple and family functioning and I believe that a safe, comfortable and confidential environment is important in that process.

I also love working with individuals and family systems, helping to manage and heal relationships.
You deserve to be heard. You deserve to take up space. You deserve to feel safe and at home in your body. Showing up is the hardest part, so kudos to you for being here and looking around. It takes courage to ask for support, especially when you're used to handling everything on your own. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but it wasn't helpful. Maybe it was painful to stir up the past and difficult to put overwhelming emotions into words. I can support you differently—using yoga, art, play, and nature to enhance traditional talk therapy. Together, you will learn to heal and create the life you’ve been longing for.

Our relationships are suffering leaving us feeling anxious, lonely, or depressed. You may feel like no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to communicate with your partner or family members. Maybe discussions turn into arguments that never seem to get resolved, leaving you both feeling hurt and alone. Perhaps you or your loved one are dealing with a faith transition and you feel lost and confused. It's hard to love so much and yet feel so distant and disconnected!

It can cause us to experience hardships in our relationships not just with our significant other but with our children, our friends, our extended family, and even our colleagues.
I specialize in PTSD, TRAUMA, ANXIETY, GRIEF and loss. My approach is unique from most therapists. Unlike many therapists I don’t just want to listen but help get to the root cause of what is making life difficult. One way I do that is by helping you understand your emotions and working on underlying self-worth issues. Most of our problems stem from denying our real feelings which leads to core social, emotional, and spiritual needs that go unmet. I truly believe that identifying these needs and acting on them is the key to individual happiness and fulfilling relationships.

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.
