I believe that therapeutic listening can support us as humans to clarify our own intentions and hear our truth. Modern external life challenges like relationships, balancing career and family, and unforeseen hurdles can leave us unbalanced and disconnected. My ideal client is looking for a beacon within themselves that I hope to shine a light to bring back to center. As a mother, entrepreneur and self-starter of many fulfilling endeavors, realizing that the grounded connection to our own inner voice is fundamental in generating a meaningful life also plays a role in what I bring to the table as a mentor, champion and resource.

I provide a therapeutic space where your healing journey is not just a possibility, but a reality. As a Certified EMDR therapist, my focus is on providing therapy for folks who reside in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Florida to navigate the complexities of anxiety and trauma rooted in aspects such as parenting dynamics, family history, and work-related burnout and stress. My approach to therapy diverges from conventional talk therapy methods. EMDR emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind and body. Additionally, I integrate "parts work" into my practice and draw from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed lens.

Despair is different than depression- something that you intuitively know. Depression is a clinical diagnosis often associated with a chemical imbalance. Despair is a psycho-spiritual imbalance. It is the language of oppression. Despair is hopelessness and a loss of meaning. It is, essentially, the anxiety that comes from an inability to be oneself in a strange (and beautiful) world.

I strive to empower my clients to be their most amazing, vibrant, and truest selves. It is normal to struggle but we don't need to suffer. We're often on the right path when we feel lost. This shows us we are aware and open. We are not hard wired for change but we ARE innately predisposed to search for possibilities that support our values, goals, and dreams. I see my clients as creative, capable and whole. We live in a society that is focused on external “success” and appearance and this can create an internal chaos and disconnection from that which truly feeds the spirit. The good news is that we don’t have to live this way.

Even when things in life seem to be going well, we might still feel shut down or sad. For many, the feeling that there is always something bad waiting around the corner follows us daily. We worry, about nothing and everything. Hope is hard to come by. We may want to let go of a bad experience in the past, but it lingers anyways. It can invade our sleep, affect our body, direct our self image, and rule our emotions. Many of the challenges of the pandemic have left us feeling uncertain and scared. Too often, "just dealing with it" is the expectation. But that's not the only choice. We've done our best, now it's time to ask for help.

Envision a life where the obstacles you face, such as depression, anxiety, fear, and loneliness, no longer hinder your progress. The unease and apprehension of feeling worried, guilty, adrift, or uncertain about connecting with others can be overwhelming. When these concerns cloud your mind and hinder your sense of purpose, they profoundly impact your mood, relationships, and overall quality of life. In a life unburdened by these challenges, you can cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships, derive greater satisfaction from your professional and personal endeavors, and better manage worries and fears.

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.
