There’s no secret to life or hacks to happiness. If you want truth, life is hard and there’s no handbook for how to manage yourself, much less your relationship or family dynamics. The mess of life is a great foundation for growth! You are not alone in your highs and lows and feeling misunderstood is common. Being vulnerable is not always easy but I think it is important to say the things others are afraid to say. With my background and experience, I am confident together we can work to overcome the struggles that are keeping you from living your best life.

The first step to getting healthier is often asking for help. When looking at mental health, however, that can be scary and overwhelming. Many people have tried to express their struggles, only to be met with shame. We get stressed, we lash out at ourselves or others, then sit in the shame and guilt that follows. Maybe you struggle in relationships, regulating your thoughts and emotions, or experience self-defeating behaviors. To move towards growth and progress in any area of life, you must feel accepted, cared for, and supported.

I enjoy clients of all ages and stages, including couples and family therapy as well.
My clients often come to me with life transition issues (teens, parenting challenges, relationship issues, major life events, trauma) and are experiencing a loss of identity, lack of direction and symptoms of pervasive anxiety . Together we explore with compassion for the journey to this point, identifying the life worth living and develop a cohesive treatment plan to meet those goals. Through peeling back layers of an onion, we tackle areas of trauma, hurt, shame as we grow empathy for self and tools to start actively changing the cycle of pain. My proudest moment is when a client is able to step down in treatment as goals are met.

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.
