Therapy modalities I use include: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, REBT, and Structural-Family Therapy.
Since graduating with my master's degree in 2016, I have been fortunate enough to counsel hundreds of strong, determined individuals in a variety of settings (the residential setting, outpatient medication-assisted treatment, the psychiatric inpatient, and in the regular outpatient setting). I thrive working with clients who have experienced trauma, relationship issues, and/or possess a variety of mental health diagnoses (i.e., Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, PTSD, PMDD, OCD, etc.). My ideal client shows up consistently, is honest, is motivated to change or heal, and is willing to try something new.

I am here to help you heal the distress you are feeling coming from anxiety, depression addiction, trauma, PTSD or family problems. It can be hard to connect with a therapist at first. You don't know this person and how are you going to feel trusting and secure with a stranger? Yet you are in pain and need help. It is just a first step, one that does not have to lead to commitment. You are in charge and are simply "auditioning" to see if this connection feels good and helpful.

Do you feel like no one sees you or your pain? Do you feel misunderstood and alone in your thoughts? Are you navigating through life holding on to emotional pain and circumstances that leave you feeling alone or out of control? Living with all of these thoughts, feelings and emotions can be overwhelming to our daily routine and function and just having another person to walk this journey of life can create healing and new perspective.

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.
