Do you feel that you are all alone and no one will ever understand what you are going through? We all need extra support and to know that we are not alone. I hope to foster a therapeutic relationship where you feel nurtured, respected, and know that your thoughts and feelings matter. My approach to therapy is strengths-based. I treat the whole person and do not have a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe each individual is unique and can overcome any obstacle. I practice a non-judgmental and empathetic approach and support individuals as they confront their issues and help them realize their unique strengths.

Are you struggling with current and past life stressors, maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships, or feeling unfulfilled? Wellness is inclusive of the mind body and spirit. Life and the many hats that we wear challenge our wellness. It can be difficult to navigate life without knowing how to properly identify what you are experiencing and feeling. Perhaps you are feeling “stuck” in life and don’t know how to get yourself back on kilter. My goal is to help bring into awareness traumas, feelings, and thoughts by acknowledging the influence of varying relationships and systems in your life so that you can heal.

I have come to be fond of Internal Family Systems therapy and have seen that some people connect to it instantly and make big steps quickly from it.
As a therapist I believe that each person needs something different. Sometimes someone needs someone to talk to and bounce ideas off, some need concrete steps to improve parts of their life, others need to explore their past and connect it to their present. I can help people learn coping skills, challenging negative or self-destructive thoughts, and learn what their triggers are and why they have them. I encourage mindfulness practices and self-acceptance. I work with a lot of people with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues often caused by anxiety or other issues.

There comes a time when we realize that friends and family can't be our only outlet. Sometimes they rush to "fix us" or don't fully understand. Some of us don't have any support at all. We ultimately find that what we need is a neutral person with whom we can unload our burdens, free from judgement and critique. We need strategies to help us cope with difficult feelings and heal from the past. We find that once we begin this important work, we've created a path toward self acceptance, balance and empowerment.

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.
