My work draws from IFS (Internal Family Systems) and other trauma-informed therapy approaches to help you identify your innate strengths and empower you to heal, grow, and live a meaningful life.
Do you struggle with your inner critic? Have you felt lonely or rejected? Maybe you've tried to avoid anxiety, depression, or traumatic memories, seeking a way out of a rollercoaster of emotions. Have you experienced difficulty with life transitions; career/school stress; relationship issues including polyamory and CNM; bigotry; grief; addiction; sex/drug linked behavior; sexual assault/abuse; self-harm, or suicidal thoughts? Are you somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum and feel like no one in your life understands you? If you answered yes to any of these issues, when was the last time you had a space to talk that was just for you?

My theoretical approaches include family systems theory, narrative therapy, relational cultural therapy, person-centered counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and structural family therapy.
Do you find yourself at a crossroads in life? Are you seeking to move from being "stuck" to "unstuck"? Are you looking for additional perspectives to your issues and concerns? Difficult seasons in our lives can be expected, and sometimes our old ways of coping or adapting do not meet the need of our season. I enjoy working with clients, their family, and support system in exercising autonomy to choose what is best for them. I believe you can adapt to meet the need of your season without losing the essence of what makes you, you.

As you have probably learned by now, life doesn't come with a road map. Life's journeys are uniquely individual! When you feel stuck, overwhelmed or seem to be going in circles, you've hit a boulder. Life transitions can be difficult, sometimes painful and tough to maneuver. They typically involve family relationships, career changes, peer interactions, or are related to loss, terminal illness, or caregiver responsibilities. Often, we experience feelings of anxiety, sadness, loneliness or fear; your not alone. Together, in a supportive, non-judgemental environment, we will explore and clarify these issues and underlying feelings.

Many of us struggle with the fear of letting go...of something. It can be a frightening process and you may feel hopeless and helpless at times. However, the empowerment that can be gained by letting go and ridding yourself of negative thoughts can be truly life changing. It may be hard, but my role is to help you reach your personal goals. Counseling is my second career. In the earlier part of my life, I earned an MBA and spent 10 years working in international sales and marketing. I was moved to begin a new career helping other people after counseling personally turned my life around and provided me with balance and peace.

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.
