I am trained in CBT, family systems theory, DBT, and overall consider myself a well rounded clinician that takes the time to get to know a clients experience to help them reach a better understanding of themselves and assist people to become the best versions of themselves.
Hello there. I have a diverse clinical background and am here to help. I have worked for agencies who specialize in in-home therapy with children and their parents. I have worked with children of all ages and am passionate about helping young people and their parents navigate their challenges. Navigate their difficult journeys. I use a practical solutions focused and CBT approach and don't genuinely believe that children need to be in therapy for years at a time. With the right tools and resources in place, children will do amazing things! Additionally, I have experience with complex bi-polar and schizophrenia in adults.

Do you feel stuck on a never ending loop trapped by your own thoughts or behaviors? Is everyone telling you it’s your fault, but you feel like they just don’t understand? No individual gets to this point because they meant to, and if you are stuck in this place I can provide a non judgmental safe space for you to explore. We will explore feelings and past experiences that drive the thoughts and urges to use or drink. I will help you define your own reasons for recovery rather than submitting to what everyone else’s reasons are.

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.
