I am so very proud that you are reaching out for help. I know it is a very daunting process to find a therapist that will fit YOUR needs and YOUR situation. Have you been feeling anxious, run-down, or overwhelmed about school, parenting, or family struggles? Have you started to see mood and behavioral changes in your child that have started to affect aspects of their life? Or are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed and out of control during pregnancy or after having your baby? If you found yourself nodding in agreement to any of those questions, I hope that you will reach out to start your own healing.

I am trained in Internal Family Systems, which is a modality that facilitates gaining insight into the various parts of oneself, including those that hold anxiety, shame, and sadness, and integrating these to develop a stronger sense of self.
I believe that everyone is resilient - and that constantly having to be strong can be exhausting. Through our work together, my goal is to honor that internal strength while also providing space for grieving, healing, and growing. I am passionate about supporting people that have lived through complex trauma and have been navigating their lives in survival mode. I work to help people re-establish a sense of safety within themselves, develop an understanding into how their experiences shaped them, and cultivate meaningful relationships.

Life often throws curveballs and learning new ways to respond to stress can be one of the most important things we can do. I enjoy building relationships and watching others develop the skills they need to successfully overcome their challenges in life. Therapeutic work can be difficult, but I've found that a good sense of humor can go a long way.

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.
