Over the past decade with individual, group and family therapy, my work with youth and adults has focused primarily on trauma, anxiety, self injurious behaviors, emotional regulation, parenting challenges, family stressors, and intimate partner abuse.
Something brought you to this site today. Whether you’re in the thick of a crisis, haunted by past traumas, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or wrestling with anxiety...you’re here. Stress and suffering can have huge effects on relationships, health, mood, and everyday life. Feeling overwhelmed is exhausting. Feeling stuck can be so lonely. Being flooded by racing thoughts can leave you feeling hopeless. In therapy we can’t make life stressors go away, and we can’t undo the hurt you’ve experienced. But we can work together to make sense of your past, stay centered in the moment, and move forward confidently into your future.

Everyday you come home exhausted. Anxiety and stressed has drained you. Normal everyday life feels just to heavy. Panic attacks, lack of sleep and intrusive thoughts are now just a part of your day. Depression creeps in and you think how did I get here. Family and friends try to talk to you but it hard to talk to them. who would really understand what life feels like to you. Things have happened in the past that still linger. Hypervigilance, mistrust and feeling unsafe has become part of your core being and if feels unsettling. The struggle to stay present is real and tiresome. Feeling joy feels impossible but not hopeless.

I am trained in many trauma focused therapies that facilitate this deeper healing process - EMDR, Internal Family Systems, NARM, Somatic Experiencing-but above all consider myself to be a relational and relatable therapist who prioritizes the relationship with my clients as the primary healing agent.
Are you tired of experiencing the same patterns and want to heal at the root of your symptoms? I specialize in treating trauma, addictions, and self esteem issues - in particularly with women and teenagers. When my clients first come in, their lives are overrun by fear and insecurities. They carry around deep shame about who they are and never feel quite “good enough”. They want to be confident and heal the patterns that are holding them back but do not know where to start.

There is value in knowing we are seen, heard, and understood. In addition to treating anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and trauma, I specialize in grief. Many times, we believe we are stuck, or that there is something abnormal about how long it is taking us to feel “better”. I understand that loss can be an isolating experience. Whether dealing with the death of a family member, friend, or beloved pet, or going through divorce, a cancer diagnosis, unexpected job loss, or an empty nest, how we process and adjust to an altered way of living are specific and unique to each person.

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.
