Every part of your experience is important to me, including race, faith, family, gender, sexual orientation! In addition to my special training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and trauma treatment, your investment in therapy means you get me-My full presence, support and deep commitment to your wholeness.
When you or your relationship are suffering, it can feel impossible to create lasting change. Throw stressors of big decisions, work, family or past/present trauma into the mix and it’s no wonder we feel lost at times. I want to join you right in the middle of your greatest struggle. In your time with me, you’ll find the empathetic guidance needed to process unheard pain and sort out misunderstood anger. Together we can transform damaging patterns within yourself or relationship into connection and confidence. We start where you are, doubts and questions included, and discover how your steps toward positive change will continue.

Do you ever wish that things were different? Do you struggle to hold onto hope? Maybe you feel tired, lost, or like you’re treading water. You may have noticed your patience wearing thin and your relationships suffering. Left untreated or unresolved, trauma can have a significant impact across a person's lifetime. Through therapy, you can build self-awareness, improve your relationships and learn the skills necessary to cope with distressing circumstances.

Would you like someone to talk to - completely without judgement or bias? To have a safe space for guidance? To gain a different perspective? Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is ideal for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be noted. Here, you are taking responsibility by accepting what you are experiencing and making a commitment to change something about it.

Trauma can leave us feeling like we have no control over the details of our lives and can make us feel unsafe, anxious, and many other emotions that make daily functioning harder. An essential part of trying to heal is learning the tools that can help us develop coping skills and techniques to navigate through life. I truly believe everyone deserves to control their own narrative, so as a counselor my goal is to help clients tell their own story and to have a safe space to speak freely without judgment.

As with many other things in life, I am a firm believer that there is a “no one size fits all approach" in counseling. What this looks like in therapy is working collaboratively with you, using an integrative approach that is tailored to best fit your needs. I use theoretical approaches that fit with both your personality and presenting issues in counseling; primarily utilizing solution-focused and client-centered approaches, specifically focusing on strengths. It is always my hope to create a safe and comfortable space where growth can flourish.

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.
