Our brains are wired for connection. But trauma rewires our brain for protection. (quote by Ryan North). Whether big or small, trauma impacts us all. Trauma can infiltrate our lives, hijacking our brains, causing painful anxiety, depression, or making it difficult to have healthy relationships. If you feel your trauma has taken over your life, I'm here to help.

I utilize a multimodal approach that can include CBT, DBT, positive psychology, motivational interviewing, and working with family systems.
Looking for a therapist who loves their work? I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults from all walks of life. My previous work-life experiences have allowed me to maintain a non-judgmental, therapeutic environment where it is understood we are all unique individuals. We certainly have our own values, beliefs, history, and degree of acculturation. Too, we have different ways of looking at life and responding to life's events. Our differences help us see other views in which to see the world and the "collateral beauty" in our struggles. I will help you heal through your hardships and find ways to cope.

To support growth, I utilize EMDR, Yoga Therapy, Internal Family Systems, somatic tools, skill-building, mindfulness, etc.
It is so easy to neglect our own emotional health and healing. We take care of everything and everyone else before we think to care for ourselves. If, like so many of us, you are forgetting to care for yourself or you are struggling to sustain your resilience, it is time to turn your attention to your own well-being. These past few years have added to life's difficulties and have increased feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and uncertainty. I am here to help and I do so much more than the traditional talk therapy.

I am trained in EMDR, CBT, and motivational interviewing as well as Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Ever feel like you don't matter? Feel lonely, disconnected and don't know where to turn? Well, you matter! Let's talk!! I have worked with adolescents and young adults for over 25 years. Often times people who identify outside the "norm" feel like they don't matter, they do! The world around you is so uncertain and at times and can be not safe. Maybe you have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, bullying, or you just feel marginalized. You need to feel safe to talk and work through your concerns. It's exhausting to carry that burden alone. I enjoy working with adolescents and teens, but also have a good rapport with adults.

Having a comfortable place to explore these areas in our lives where we may need to learn and practice acceptance or make personal changes is most important .

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.
