I come from a family systems theory background meaning the family unit (whatever it may look like) influences and has a ripple effect on each other’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Hi, I hope your browsing or search for a therapist is going well. I know it can be a lot of pressure to find and choose a therapist based on a picture and bio on a website. If you feel like we would be a good match I would be excited to work with you and if not, I wish you wellness. I am an LCSW and have been practicing therapy for 5 years. I am currently seeking my Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies in the Couple and Family Therapy track.

Family system work, especially involving high-conflict personalities, involves the identification of tangible boundaries.
I work with clients who find themselves in a place of stasis, often when some situation, whether it is grief triggered by loss, or anxiety and stress resulting from an involvement with high-conflict personalities, has impeded their ability to meet their goals. Many individuals feel stymied and frustrated by a feeling of being "stuck." For high-achievers, the ability to set and meet goals has become an ingrained expectation, and the feeling of something, or someone, interfering with their ability to parent, work, or enjoy life, can feel like an new and insurmountable predicament.

As a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) I am able to work with individuals, parents, children, and young adults.
Therapy offers a space for individuals to explore their past, present and future self. Your story matters. The more we try to hide, keep quiet or ignore our journey the harder it seems to find out what truly matters to us. Therapy can often be the last resort for many individuals and families suffering. I'd love for it to be the first option to a path of fulfillment. I still remember my first therapy session, the relief I felt when the therapist normalized my experience. It felt as if a weight had been lifted. A weight I carried for too long. I'd love to be the person who can offer relief and support to you and your loved ones.

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.
