I am truly passionate about helping adolescents, adults, couples and families! I enjoy the challenge of working with a varied range of clients to help attend to their needs. Meeting people where they are emotionally and aiding them to feel more confident to address concerns and eventually optimize their lives is always my goal. I truly yearn to work myself out of a job with every client(s). Being part of a family's or individual's success and journey is the most rewarding part of my job!

We believe in a systems approach, meaning that one change within a family can help heal the entire family.
If you're searching for counseling, I suspect you're feeling pretty lost. Your brain is fogged. You're anxious and confused about your marriage, your kids, or the history you've experienced. What you once thought to be true when you were at your best doesn't seem possible in the future. Maybe you just need someone else to help carry you for a while. We can help.

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.
