Living in a rural community, I have learned to be adaptive in my approach to psychotherapy. I work with couples and individuals, varying in age from 12 onward, across many domains. My special interests lean toward working with clients who are neurodiverse, and those who struggle in their relationship with food and body, anxiety and self-esteem. I don't think of 'wellness' as prescriptive- it must be a feeling of security and peace that we develop and hold within ourselves. That's why my philosophy of care includes setting a pace that fits your needs and helping you develop your own feelings of empowerment and self-growth.

I support individuals who are experiencing concerns such as anxiety, stress and burnout, trauma and adverse life experiences, low self-esteem, identity and cultural concerns, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief and loss, emotional regulation challenges, and patterns connected to early family roles (such as being the "mature" or caregiving child).
My ideal client is an adult who feels emotionally overwhelmed yet highly capable on the outside—often carrying the long-term effects of trauma, chronic stress, or growing up in a caregiving role. They may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, boundaries, or feeling disconnected from their own needs. They want to understand their patterns, feel safer in their body and relationships, and stop living in constant survival mode. Their goal is not just symptom relief, but to build a life that feels grounded, authentic, and aligned with their values, where they can experience calm, confidence, and meaningful connection.

FAQ - About 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.
