I help clients become unstuck and break free of perceived limitations through compassionate exploration of narratives, identity, and family systems, cultivating a stronger and more loving sense of self, building a personalized framework for coping through life’s stressors, and helping clients heal and let go of that which does not serve them anymore.
Being a human is hard. Therapy and finding a good fit in a counselor is hard. You deserve a space that recognizes your unique story, journey, and needs. My counseling is holistic, compassion-focused, trauma-informed, and attachment based. I believe gaining trust for yourself and for your cultivated relationships is a stop on the path towards wellness. Showing up to counseling takes strength, so I trust your feedback in session. I love forming a strong, safe therapeutic relationship with clients that is full of authenticity.

What do you hope would be better about yourself, about your life, about your marriage, about your family? This is my chief focus as a therapist. I get to the heart of what you really want and hope for in the first session, beginning with the end in mind. I believe hope is an essential mechanism for change in human beings. Hope drives us to accomplish the greatest feats in our lives. I have assisted people in striving for hope during my times in ministry, youth work, crisis response and in the counseling setting. I work with individuals, couples and families. I especially enjoy helping couples get back to having a hopeful marriage.

As a member of the LGBTQ community, I know how hard it is to find a therapist you feel safe to open up to. I often work with clients who feel overwhelmed or stuck, and guide them to a better place. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, especially with lesser-known identities such as asexual, aromantic, nonbinary, genderfluid, and others.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!! Sometimes a past traumatic experience can resurface at a time that we are least expecting it. Finding friends and family members who are supportive can become difficult. We simply don't feel heard or understood. Life can also continue to throw unexpected situations in our way that we do not feel ready to face. I love working with clients who are trying to find themselves in different stages of their life. I have experience working with clients who have past trauma, divorce, martial disagreements and blended family conflict.

Life can be really chaotic, unfair, overwhelming, and/or conflicting. Relationships with our significant other, children, extended family, and even friends can get difficult and hard to maintain how you want. You can end up feeling pretty lonely, or you might feel lost not knowing which direction to turn is the best. Sometimes it feels like there is so much that has happened it's hard to know what it is that is causing all the feelings. There is hope to move from the extremes and create a happy balance - to live from our calling, strengths, hopes, and dreams again.

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.
