Over 18 years of experience with various populations including adults, couples, college students and children addressing topics such as communication skills, personal growth, marital concerns, family dynamics, depression, anxiety, bullying, grief and loss, divorce, social skills, self-esteem issues, cultural issues and academic/career concerns.
The focus of my therapy practice is based on the premise that our past, present situations, and future aspirations strongly influence our interactions with our environment. As we evolve and confront challenges, it is crucial to recognize our past, adapt to our present surroundings, and modify our perceptions and behavior so we may reach our full potential. My aim is to assist clients in exploring emotions, promoting self-reflection, developing positive methods of communication, and enhancing the foundations that will support life-long relationships and improve the overall quality of life.

I specialize in helping young women "get unstuck” and heal from perfectionism, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, family issues, and relationship issues.
“I don’t feel seen.” “Opening up is scary.” “I feel stuck, and I don’t know what to do.” So many of us have had experiences—like relationship issues, anxiety, low self-esteem, and past trauma—that leave us feeling just like those quotes: alone and confused. As a therapist, I’m passionate about helping clients like you feel seen, heard, and supported as you get clear on what’s holding you back and learn new ways to move forward.

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.
