As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I have found that the type of therapy I provide allows opportunity for people to experience insight, hope, and change. While in treatment with me, clients will develop an understanding as to what has contributed to their style of thinking, behaviors, and decision making process. I assist my clients in feeling comfortable in their own skin and helping them identify their strengths. Upon having an awareness of what strengths are within you, my goal will be to help you utilize these strengths towards overcoming the challenges and issues in your lives.

With a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology and a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have actively engaged in therapy since 2007. I understand that our behaviors and self-perceptions are significantly influenced by early childhood experiences, often perpetuated by our current relationships and family dynamics. Additionally, our community and cultural backgrounds play a crucial role in shaping these perspectives and behaviors. I believe that fostering meaningful change involves creating an environment where individuals feel safe, supported, and receive honest, constructive feedback on their concerns and behaviors.

Counseling doesn't have to be scary. Throughout our lives we all experience difficult situations that need a second set of eyes and ears to offer a different perspective. Since friends and family are unable to be objective, that is where the counselor's role comes into play. Whether you are having family conflict, relationship issues with your significant other, or just need someone to talk to because everything just seems to be falling apart, I am here for you.

I am trained in EMDR therapy as well as utilize mindfulness, CBT and a family systems framework.
Struggling to adjust to a major life change? I help people who are experiencing anxiety, sadness, indecision and/or isolation stemming from a shift that has happened in their life. Whether it is a recent or pending break up, the loss of a loved one, or a recent move, change can be extremely challenging and anxiety provoking. Therapy gives you the space to talk about what's going on in your life and gives you the opportunity to learn new tools so you can successfully deal with what you're experiencing. It's easy to get trapped in unproductive patterns when you aren't where you thought you'd be in life, and therapy can stop that.

I am well versed in the developmental phases and difficulties, and I consider it a privilege to help teens navigate common challenges: school and social issues, family conflicts, and substance abuse.
If you are struggling with addiction or substance abuse, I can help. I understand how painful addiction is, and more importantly, I know that sobriety and recovery are the best routes to a better life. Being present in your life, no matter the circumstances, is the greatest gift you can give to yourself and to the people you love. Addiction is an insidious and lonely disease, but you can get and stay sober. You can live the life you envision. Recovery calls for commitment and it requires support. You can live free of addiction, and you can live in peace.

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.
