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.

Not accepting new clients
If you are feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. Many of us feel like something is wrong, fear we aren’t good enough or worry we are failing. We try our best to push these feelings aside. However, our insecurities tend to find their way back. We want to be confident and secure, capable of loving who we are. Our fears of judgment or rejection make it intimidating to ask for help. We believe admitting we can’t do it all alone is a weakness. It is not. You don’t have to struggle alone. You need someone in your corner rooting for you. Everyone deserves a safe place to share their story and receive validation.

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.
