My degree in Marriage and Family Therapy focuses on navigating all types of relational/relationship dynamics even if it's just for individuals.
My clients are highly motivated, ready to "do the work" and want to see all parts of their life getting better. Regardless of if you are feeling anxiety, frustration, despair, grief, I've handled that. Is your partner/spouse being a pain in the butt and making your relationship a challenge, 50% of my week is couples work. Are you an entrepreneur, business owner or executive professional navigating career annoyances in your office or trying to figure out your or your team's next strategic moves, I am certified to handle that! Not your typical therapy and not your typical therapist!

Nourish to Flourish Therapy is a space for holistic healing from traumatic experiences/family of origin wounds, anxiety, and eating disorders.
The greatest gift we can give to ourselves and those we love is to heal our wounds. Through healing, we can begin to hear what others are truly saying without the filter of our wounds. We can connect deeper with ourselves and others. We begin to feel a sense of ease and clarity in the present without constantly feeling plagued by our past. Maybe you're aware of certain circumstances that you have experienced which are impacting your current functioning; maybe you aren't. Either way, if you feel the inner pull toward self discovery, Nourish to Flourish Therapy is here for you.

Kids are AWESOME! But they struggle. That’s when they act out, or act in. Maybe you’ve been seeing it for years. Or they’re angry, frustrated, or disobedient all of a sudden. And if they’re harming themselves, you’re doubly scared. You can’t help but wonder what’s behind it all. You might be thinking that your child’s behavior is a reflection of your parenting. But your child’s fears and anxieties can come from any number of places: media, school experiences, traumatic events, family issues. It can even be inherited and we all know we can’t control our genes.

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.
