Marriage and family counseling are also services I provide for those who may be experiencing hardships or just need a safe space to talk. I take the time to get to know and understand my clients and their individual needs to help them be the best they can be.

In addition to individual (child and adult) and family counseling, I also provide Psycho-educational testing for Autism, Early-onset Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Learning Disabilities and more.
I have worked with children with significant behavioral concerns and their families for over 10 years. As a mother of children with significant behavioral concerns, I know how hard it can be to live with the judgment of others about your parenting and the internal struggle to help your child navigate their world successfully. I can help you find the right approach that doesn't take up all of your time and energy to implement. I specialize in working with parents to decrease problem behaviors and increase more prosocial ones. I will also work with your child to build skills in coping with frustration and the word "no".

Overwhelmed, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma and Childhood Challenges can be hard. You want you and your family members to be better, feel better. Maybe you recognize your depression feels like a black cloud following you, no motivation, little enjoyment for every day things. Anxiety can make you feel paralyzed, like you just can't go out and be yourself and do "normal" activities. We may even fear having a panic attack in public. Even with trauma it's challenging with all those intrusive recollections, trouble sleeping, and flashbacks. And kids and teens also struggle with their own issues that affect behavior at home and school.

My experience has included working with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, self esteem issues, family conflict, trauma, and other issues that accompany adolescence and adulthood.
You may be nervous about participating in therapy due to worries of feeling vulnerable or being judged. I work hard to provide an environment that is accepting and supportive and simultaneously looks for ways that increase growth and healing. Online therapy allows you to be in the comfort of your own home and not worry about the extra time to commute to an appointment. My approach emphasizes skill-building, self-knowledge, and balance. I have been a therapist in a variety of settings for about 20 years, helping people deal with anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma in their lives and how it has affected their relationships.

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.
