We'll look at your mental health challenges in context of your relationships, self-identity, trauma, family roles, religious influence or challenges, life transitions and more.
Let's delve into your thoughts, emotions, and core Self for self-knowing & healing. I work with women, ages 20-50, with depression or anxiety. I blend therapeutic approaches, coupling a humanistic perspective (we are all basically good) with Internal Family Systems (our inner world is a complex system of sub-personalities). We'll nurture your well-being– mentally, emotionally, physically, & spiritually– embracing the entirety of who you are, including your shadows. Let's get to the root, not just put on a bandaid! Call our intake team to schedule an appointment & verify insurance (we take most!). The call takes about 10-15 minutes.

I love helping people become who they are meant to be. Oftentimes, past pains and traumas stand in the way of our own personal growth, but I believe change is possible for everyone, and have seen just how resilient people truly are. One of the most wonderful parts about being a therapist is sitting with a person who feels so broken, holding that pain with them, and creating a space for healing. I am here to work together with you to resolve these past issues so that you can shed the weight of pressures that have been placed upon you, and help you live the life you want to live.

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.
