Teens and young adults are experiencing depression and anxiety at higher rates in recent years. Declining grades, changes in sleep patterns, angry outbursts or isolation from friends and family are signs that help may be needed. Plus, the presence of social media has complicated matters. Teens as well as college students and young adults are experiencing stressors that families may not understand or have the skills to manage. I help people who are struggling with emotional and behavioral difficulties find ways to cope with problems and reach their full potential.

My education and training as a marriage and family therapist put language to what I have always understood about people and relationships - the systems, or relationships, people experience influence their behaviors, understanding of self, and needs.
I specialize in working with couples or relationships, families, women, trauma, and grief. People often encounter relationship dynamics, losses, or wounds that spill over into their current experiences and leave them feeling unsettled, struggling with anxiousness, or finding it difficult to feel connected to the people they love. If you want to explore these past and present patterns, we can gently dig into the therapeutic process together. Our shared goal would be to learn how to honor yourself and lean into the world with curiosity and self-compassion.

Specifically, I support those with Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorders, Chronic Illness and family conflict. In therapy, clients are looking for a safe space to process their life experiences. As a late diagnosed and identified neurodivergent therapist, my goal is to empower my client who may experience the world in this beautiful and "different" 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.
