Hello! A Family Place has a group of affiliated and contracted therapists who all come from a strengths-based perspective. That means we work as your partner, helping you come up with solutions, and helping you help yourself.

I'm fucking tired, too - of all of it. Thus, my intention with my clients is to help you heal so you can be more effective at fighting internal AND external oppression. That said, thank you for still being here. You could have given up several times by this point, but you didn’t. It's exactly that toughness that we're going to need to build a more compassionate world together. The time is now to liberate our collective future, so let's start with yours, shall we? What you want matters; it doesn't make you bad, it makes you lovely. Healing is a collective effort that we all must hold ourselves accountable to, so let's get to work.

Traditional talk therapy doesn't always give us the results we want, especially when working with trauma. I work best with clients who prefer a direct approach and have been trying to heal from trauma for a prolonged period of time without a lot of results. I found that spirituality is an important part of the trauma healing process. To me, spirituality looks like connecting with nature and the earth and expands beyond the traditional perspectives. Trauma often comes with addictions and I do not take the abstinence-only perspective on addiction and tend to emphasize harm reduction as an alternative.

You're looking for a change. Maybe you're unhappy in your relationship and find yourself waking up next to a person who feels more like a roommate than a partner. You miss the fun dates and laughter you two used to have and wonder how you became so disconnected. Maybe you're struggling with self-esteem or feel stuck in a never-ending cycle of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. Perhaps you feel like you can't catch a break between work, school, loved ones, and societal pressures. Would you recognize yourself in a crowd of people or have you lost sight of who you are? It's okay if you've fallen down. Now it's time to get back up.

Evening Appointments Available! Starting a new life journey? Wanting to get a better and deeper understanding of yourself? Have you been feeling disconnected from the motivation you use to have or looking for passion in life? Well, counseling can be a wonderful step in looking for answers. Through this process, you can work on improving your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you. Processing through past experiences to better understand who you are now and who you want to be. Self-improvement starts with you and your decision to begin finding yourself.

You won’t always feel this way. Like everything is too much. We all have times in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Your thoughts are racing - thinking about potential outcomes to changes in your life. You struggle to turn your mind off. Your overthinking and anxiety are preventing you from living a full life. You can’t seem to recapture your joy or creativity. You want to feel safe and comfortable talking about your insecurities. You want someone to help partner with you to help overcome feelings of anxiousness and being overwhelmed.

Growing up, your emotions weren't validated, your body didn't feel like home, and your voice struggled to develop to its full potential. Maybe your childhood was a lot like mine, full of confusing moments and unwritten rules that you struggle to make sense of today. As your therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and gentle environment for you and your loved ones to process pain, past trauma, and new transitions as you journey through life. I teach my clients how to find the peace within through mindfulness practices, learning new coping strategies, setting intentional boundaries, and gently exploring how to love themselves fully.

Do you struggle with ups and downs from sadness and excessive worry? Entering a new stage of your life that brings about a great deal of uncertainty? Is there a trauma that you feel is holding you back? Life can bring about struggles and stressors that are difficult to handle alone. I focus specifically on the client-therapist relationship to help individuals overcome their reasons for seeking therapy. I have been dedicated to the helping field since 2004 and hope to offer a judgment free and safe therapeutic space for clients to disclose their issues.

We all have hurts that need attention and we do not always know how to do that. I believe we were created for relationships and at times those relationships or how we are going about them can be unhealthy. Due to that, we have adapted and learned coping mechanisms that have allowed us to function and move on. However, those coping mechanisms can stop working after a while and this is what creates an imbalance in our system that we need to make right or it can begin to generate stresses that spill over into other aspects of our lives.

Are you seeking to be kinder to yourself and enhance self-compassion? Are you looking for a therapist that will empower you through a relational, multicultural and intersectional feminist perspective? If this sounds like you, I would love to co-create a space with you where you can feel safe and ready to explore various aspects of yourself. I do keep in mind how systems of oppression impact people differently based on their identities as well as their experiences. You will be invited to unlearn self-limiting beliefs that you have been conditioned to believe in and you will have the opportunity to reclaim your authentic self.

Parents school has started back up and you're feeling increasingly frustrated or helpless with your child’s behavior such as tantrums, anger control, anxiety, negative feedback from school/daycare, difficulties focusing, or struggles with self-esteem/self-confidence. My goal is to help your child improve in all these areas while also supporting you with real skills you can utilize at home. I also specialize in seeing couples and adults with concerns of anxiety, depression, life changes, PTSD and trauma. I am currently seeking certification in EMDR and use my training to assist clients struggling with PTSD and unresolved trauma.

Growing up as an only child in two culturally different households was tough. It feels like you’re always shape shifting to make everyone else more comfortable. Never getting a chance to relax into yourself. This left me on high alert, constantly second guessing all of my decisions. I didn’t know who I was, I was stuck feeling depleted and anxious to make any moves for fear I would seem foolish, or worse, fail. I became a therapist to help people who feel lost, whip those nagging voices in their head into shape. I'll help you challenge the unhealthy patterns you’ve gotten into because of doubt, shame, and believing the haters.

The journey through life is uniquely our own and presents each of us with an array of distinctive experiences. We are all faced with transitions and challenges that present us with opportunities to grow, gain insight, heal and explore our personal potential. I am honored to meet you right where you are on your path, provide therapeutic support and find solutions that enable you to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. Collaboratively, we will work to cultivate new coping skills, reshape relationships, identify personal strengths, and overcome ineffective behavioral patterns in efforts to achieve your personal goals.

Throughout the counseling process I consider myself to be a passenger on your journey. I strive to provide a warm, genuine, judgement-free environment for you to discover your most authentic self. I place significant value on the therapeutic relationship and view it is the primary method of change. Together we will work towards identifying your needs and creating a plan of action that leads to growth and healing.

Welcome! Mental health is my passion. Working alongside diverse clients brings me fulfillment. My experience ranges from non-profit settings, private practice, and domestic violence shelters. In therapy I like to engage folks in mindfulness, expressive techniques, and body-oriented/somatic techniques. I am EMDR trained and enjoy utilizing this tool to help clients move forward with healing. My approach is tailored to each individual, generally drawing from a basis of holistic, trauma informed, evidence-based therapies. I am empathetic and direct, while helping clients find healing and new ways of coping.

When real life hits...I work with clients who are dealing with complicated real life issues: anger management, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, marital problems, adolescent issues and behavioral problems, chemical dependency, divorce recovery, trauma recovery, addictions and compulsive behaviors, and behavioral issues, providing prenatal and postpartum counseling.
