I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida and Colorado and an ACSM certified exercise physiologist.
Mental health conditions that I specialize in treating include major depression, generalized and performance-related anxiety, bipolar, adjustment disorders. Symptoms often appear as disturbances in mood, emotional regulation, thought processes and behavior. Mental and physical health are interconnected where physical health is an integral part to mental health treatment. When physical activity is incorporated into therapeutic treatment, self-efficacy is strengthened. I offer individuals and families a program that combines therapy with an add-on of exercise.

I love to work with children (12 and under), and teens (13-19), to provide a therapeutic process that draws forth each client's inner-strength and resilience. In a safe play therapy environment I create space for each client to work through any internal distress hindering them from being freely themselves. I am comfortable working with children who struggle with outburst, withdraw, trauma, social and family issues. Believing each client is unique, the treatment process and pace is tailored to their own needs. I also use non-directive techniques that greatly empower young clients.

I have assisted clients with anxiety, depression, bipolar, PTSD, substance abuse, relationship problems, family conflict, self-esteem, identify exploration and social skills.
It is difficult to not be stressed when you are navigating through major life changes, the demands of modern life and the various uncertainties that we all face. Oftentimes people go through life feeling they are never really heard or seen, or maybe they are afraid to show parts of themselves because it feels too vulnerable and scary. Whether you are feeling anxious, helpless, depressed, or feel getting through the day is harder than you’d like it to be, you do not have to overcome the challenges of life alone. Together we will cut through the mess to improve clarity and develop strategies to resolve life conflicts.

Some part of your life maybe feels elusive and takes a lot of extra energy...like being able to stay in relationships, be at peace in your body or satisfied with how you present yourself to the world. Therapy can be a helpful place to sort through all the messages that are unhelpful and get clear on what your real needs are.

Welcome! My practice offers support and assistance for those struggling with life's challenges. Life can be tricky sometimes, and we can find ourselves at a crossroads. We are taught to keep going, hoping things will get better on their own. We often repeat the same cycles, hoping for different results, without significantly changing our behavior. After a substantial loss or a painful event, many try to normalize their feelings without resolution. Avoiding these issues only adds to further stress, depression, insomnia, and anxiety. The good news is that you can be content and live the life you deserve.

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.
