Life has changed for an uncertain period of time. Finding a safe space to really be heard, so we can process, heal and grow is helpful during this difficult time. Feeling isolated, depressed, anxious or unable to face daily challenges is normal, but finding ways to handle the stress or difficult feelings when they become overwhelming can make life easier and bring about more success and happiness in your. Sometimes it's stress within a relationship (
family
, dating, marriage, parenting) that can really throw us off our game. Sometimes work is overwhelming. Sometimes everything seems to get us down.

family

I am a strength-based therapist that focuses on helping you identify your innate self-determination, resiliency, and strengths. It is important to me that as we discuss your struggles, negative thought patterns, behaviors and challenges, that you can also identify the strengths that have helped you through difficulties as you seek support at this time. It is so easy to get lost in self-limiting beliefs, feel stuck, and forget our worth at times.

My expertise is in working with relationship issues, issues due to childhood trauma,
family

Have you ever felt you were having problems feeling happy with your life and maintaining satisfying relationships with those closest to you? The reason is often hidden in adverse childhood experiences and insecure attachment styles during our formative years. I work with couples and individuals to help improve intimate relationships that are at the core of maintaining one's healthy outlook at life. Even relationships that may end in separation can be resolved without acrimony and to the benefit of both parties since to better understand oneself and one's intimate relationships is the key to satisfying and productive living.

There’s a lot going on in the world and sometimes it’s hard to emotionally, mentally, and physically show up. You might be stressed out, anxious, depressed, or just overall exhausted. It could be because of friends,
family
, work, or overall life that makes you feel like you’re stuck. It is impacting your confidence, your self-esteem, and you might not know where it is coming from or what to do. It could be due to some past experiences that you’ve never fully addressed. Let’s talk, I’m here to help.

Is your life in balance? Many years of experience have taught me that the combination of psychological insight and behavioral change are necessary to make a difference in the two most important areas of life: relationships and work. Without change we "understand" but repeat the same self-defeating behaviors over and over.
Family
and friends can give great support but a psychotherapist is trained, neutral and can say things to you which are hard to hear from others and help you explore aspects of your life which are uncomfortable for you.

The therapeutic process is unique to the client. For some it involves deep reflection and questioning old idea's, and for others a problem solving collaboration. For me it is the excitement of the journey you will embark on, and the endless possibilities for growth. Transparency is paramount, and key to the process for both client and therapist. Work is progressive and tailored to the individual. As issues emerge, treatment plans are re-assessed and revised to meet client needs. For trauma I am trained in EMDR and Functional
Family
Systems for addiction CBT and 12-step and for couples
family
systems.

I have current availability for families, couples, and underage minors. My goal is to assist individuals struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, racism, families of persons with mental illness and
family
/couples therapy. The challenges you face are not as important as the tools you need to navigate them. The role I choose as a therapist is to walk with you on your journey to healing, helping you discover the tools that work for you, teaching you to use them, and celebrating you in your journey. I honor the differences and diversities in us all, and do not believe in using a 'cookie-cutter' approach with my clients.

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.
