I later earned CSAC credentials, working with substance abuse groups, and now, as an LCSW at Family Insight, I offer telehealth therapy.
Ever feel trapped in a cramped mental apartment with relentless self-doubt as your unwelcome companion? It's like sharing space with a critical, nitpicking roommate. Your mind should be your sanctuary, but negative self-talk clutters it. But know this: you hold the lease, the power is in your hands, and it is high time we evict your inner critic and start creating a supportive environment so you can find comfort in your own mental headspace once again.

What all of my clients have in common is a desire to be self-reflective (even though this may be scary), to learn more about themselves at a deeper (unconscious) level, and to grow in ways that allow them to have the life and relationships for which their hearts yearn. Psychotherapy is a process of learning to listen to, care for and heal the pained parts of ourselves that burden our mind, body, heart and spirit. Including the body in this process is essential, as it carries our pain. This is not always easy, but is certainly self-empowering and life-changing.

Being vulnerable is hard, it's uncomfortable and it is entirely human. I view therapy as an opportunity to explore what it means to be fully human, ultimately allowing for increased awareness and acceptance to all the parts that have shaped us. My role as the therapist is to help make this exploration manageable through co-creating an environment that is both safe and judgement free. My approaches are primarily person-centered, strengths-based, and integrative. I believe that each client is unique and take the time to know them individually and holistically.

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.
