I hope to connect with you and your partner to help support your family in your healing process, no matter what stage of the perinatal period you are in.
Was your journey towards parenthood one that brought overwhelming feelings of sadness, grief, and anxiety? Has your relationship with your partner changed drastically since having your child? Is being a parent much more difficult than you expected it would be? If you’ve experienced anxiety, depression or trauma in the perinatal period, you’re not alone. The pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period can be one of the most consuming & loneliest times in a new parent's life. No one deserves for this time in their lives to be filled with distressing thoughts, dread, or fear.

You can’t put your finger on it, but you're sure something is wrong. You work hard to do the right things, but there is a persistent feeling of dissatisfaction. It’s as if you only exist to help others. You take on extra assignments at work even if you’re already overwhelmed. You’re always the one friends ask for favors and advice. Your family relies on you to keep everything running smoothly, and you do it all without complaining. But lately, you’ve begun to wonder what it’s all for. You want so desperately to take a moment to figure out what you want, but so many people are counting on you, and you can’t let them down.

As someone who is queer, I also have experience addressing issues related to identity exploration, coming out, gender dysphoria, and family conflict.
Welcome folks! I am a queer therapist who focuses on working with folks surviving trauma and those in the LGBTQIA+ community. Experiencing trauma of any kind can have a profound effect on the way you view yourself, the world, and others. My primary focus as your counselor is creating a sense of safety, and prioritizing connection with you as a person. Healing from trauma is challenging, and my goal is to allow for a space that is both repairing and empowering. It can also be challenging to find therapists that are truly LGBTQIA+ affirming. I work hard to create an inclusive environment that allows you to explore your identity.

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.
