I believe that the struggles faced by children and teens impact the whole family, and I take a holistic approach that centers on the parent-child attachment.
Finding a counselor to support you in your healing journey can be overwhelming. There are so many to choose from, and it can be hard to know what you need. Whether you are looking for support for your child, adolescent, or yourself, I aim to provide you with a nonjudgmental, empathic, and safe environment to explore your needs and goals. I am passionate about helping my clients bring joy and connection back into their lives.

Whether it is through play, talk, or expressive arts, I can help your child and your family heal, grow, and feel better.
If your child is struggling with low self-esteem or anxiety, I can help. Maybe they are having emotional meltdowns at home or struggling with worries about school. They might compare themself to others and say "I'll never be as good as other kids." As a parent, you want the best for your child, but it can be difficult to know how to support them when it feels like they believe "you have to say that, you're my mom/dad." I can provide you and your child with the additional tools and support you need to feel happier and more confident that both of you will be able to handle any challenges that come your way.

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.
