I firmly believe that counseling is a collaborative effort between the client and the therapist and that it takes a sincere joint effort between parties to reach goals. I provide counseling strategies that use active and responsive listening skills and those that focus on development and growth by showing genuine empathy and unconditional positive regard to each client. I realize that clients come from diverse cultures and backgrounds; therefore, I am sensitive to cultural differences in the client's sense of self and how they view relationships, family, and the world.

I guide you to healing attachment wounds, processing trauma to increase trust in others and yourself, and increase healthy, secure relationships with family, friends, and loved ones.
Dating, trouble with boundaries, sexual trauma, relationship trauma, codependency, childhood trauma, relationship conflict, and more may lead to feeling as though it is difficult to have fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others. Or, maybe you are experiencing a general sense of anxiety, and it feels difficult to live in the moment. My priority is to offer an empowering, trauma-focused safe space where you can heal and cultivate healthy relationships with yourself and others.

I am Licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Addictions Specialist.
After 25 years of working in the field primarily offering individual therapy, I am now most interested in group therapy. My co-therapist and I offer two groups currently. Both groups have openings and are ongoing psychotherapy groups. There is nothing quite like the magic of therapy group. Group can immediately effect feelings of isolation, loneliness and supports healthy connections. Group can normalize human needs for a sense of belonging and support during these most uncertain times. I am accepting new patients and I hope to keep my practice relational with a strong focus on couples, families and group therapy.

Parenting adolescents is challenging. As your teen gets older, they may show signs of struggling in some or many areas of their lives. You may notice personality changes, or they no longer have the same interests or no longer seem motivated. You’ve read books, tried different strategies and tried to communicate with your teen, but there has not been sustained change. You know that your teen has potential, but how do you help them find it? Looking for outside help, can be a scary step, with many questions. Will someone be able to connect with my teen, am I able to trust that person/will my teen be able to?

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.
