My approach is not one size fits all and is tailored to fit the needs of each individual, couple and family.
My ideal client is anyone that has experienced an unexpected curveball to the head and is feeling like they cannot stand back up after passing out and wonder if they even want to try or even worse, wonder if they have the skills necessary. The greatest joy I experience in my clinical work is sitting across from from client's from different backgrounds and thoughts than my own. I particularly enjoy working with client's with addiction, relationship issues, loss of purpose, death and loss, and client's that 'should' all over the place.

I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS, "parts work") and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) approaches.

I create a safe and comforting space for clients to gain insight, skills, and confidence as they explore their emotions and needs. Clients have described me as warm, calm, and direct. I take a person-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approach to therapy. Every client is unique, and I tailor our sessions to meet your specific needs and honor your values. Cliche as it sounds, when life gets hard, remember that we can do hard things!

Stress is often the start pointing of depression and anxiety. Stress makes it difficult to set boundaries, participate in self-care, communicate, and several other factors that drive our life forward.

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.
