Life can often be messy and complicated. My goal is to assist individuals and couples in sorting through it all. I am an EMDR trained therapist specializing in treating trauma, issues with self-esteem, shame, anxiety, faith transitions/religious deconstruction, coming out and gender exploration/transition and more. I also frequently work with couples experiencing unhealthy cycles, family conflict, difficulties in sexual desire and healing from infidelity. I believe counseling is all about finding yourself and understanding how to authentically connect in your relationships.

Licensed in both Colorado and Florida. I recognize the struggle of modern parenthood, and the solitude in which many parents find themselves. It is difficult to be the whole village raising children. There is also a sense of putting the needs of children and family before yourself, losing your identity in the process. I aim to help parents balance their identity and needs with the needs of their families.

I understand that transitions in life can be a challenge to the individual and the family.
How we experience mental health concerns is reliant on several variables. One of the ones that is our overall health. Have we been diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness? It is not just how we “feel” about our illness; it is also how our body is reacting to our illness or healing. Another variable is family history and dynamics. What has been our family history with both mental and physical health? What is my role with my family? These are only a few examples of topics to consider. Lastly, another variable is my perception of self. It is not a question of how I see my behavior, but it is a matter of what is my “why” in life.

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.
