I'm deeply committed to the simple things that make therapy rewarding. I want people to leave my office feeling like they're important and worth being understood. Most of my clients are struggling with depression, anxiety, or a feeling of being stuck and frustrated in life. Together, we will work on gaining self-knowledge, improving functioning in life, and becoming more connected to what really matters to you. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my primary focus is on pain and healing in the context of relationships - with others and yourself.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I utilize a relational approach with all clients whether they be an individual, couple or family.
Hi! My name is Savannah and I am so happy to have you here. I am so proud that you are considering beginning the journey of therapy and working towards growth in your life. Therapy is a wonderful tool as it can create extravagant and meaningful change. Therapy can also be your "safe space,” a place where your most influential events, thoughts, and emotions are shared and processed. It can be scary and uncomfortable, however I believe that true growth occurs when we are challenging ourselves. If you are looking to focus on self-esteem, emotion regulation, relationships or connection, I would love to work with you.

My goal as a therapist is to create an environment that demonstrates collaboration, transparency, helpfulness, and empathy for my individual, couple, and family clients.
Every person has individual, unique experiences that they bring into the room, which means their own therapy needs may look very different than another’s. I am passionate about working alongside clients who are motivated to pursue lasting change in their lives, whether that be processing complex trauma, learning new relationship skills, navigating life transitions, or formulating healthy boundaries and self care practices. It can be painful to talk about and face the things that have brought you to the place you are currently in, but just like resetting a broken bone, the rewards of healing far outweigh the pain of healing!

Coming into therapy, especially for the first time, can be daunting. Diving into unknown waters and discussing your innermost feelings in front of a stranger can feel terrifying. It is understandable why there can be a lot of hesitance before taking that plunge.

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.
