EFT allows individuals, couples, and family members to identify and name the negative emotional cycle they have become "stuck in".
I deeply value the importance of safe and connected relationships, and see this as an integral part of restoration and growth. My goal is to develop a therapeutic relationship with clients that fosters change through creating an interpersonal experience of understanding, safety, and empowerment. I am actively engaged in the certification process of Emotion Focused Therapy. EFT is a validated and proven model of couples therapy (also used for individuals or families as well).

As we travel the journey together, you will experience an effective, original approach for healing both from recent wounds and from old wounds imported into the relationship and current family dynamics from childhood.
I am a Certified Imago Therapist and am passionate about working with couples of all kinds. I help couples live out their wildest dreams for themselves and their relationships. Maybe your relationship/marriage is in crisis or failing. Maybe it's stagnant or full of conflict and, sensing this, your children are beginning to act out in ways that baffle you. Maybe you have become overwhelmed by parenthood and wonder how you and your spouse have managed to drift so far apart and feel so frantic and disconnected. My sessions focus on couples' strengths and resources rather than pathology.

I have extensive training in personal psychodynamic therapy, family system dynamics and relationship therapy.
I truly feel that anyone can benefit from therapeutic training and guidance. Personally, I have always seen therapy to be more of a intense joint partnership focused on a client's personal achievement, exploration of their untapped potential and opportunities and utilizing their strengths to balance them out.
Therapy should be to the mind what diet and exercise is to the body. Solid, result-focused training that builds upon an individual's strengths to provide them with the tools necessary to not only face the challenges of their life, but also to explore the rich landscape they have WITHIN.

My passion is in helping individual's reach their highest potential through living a healthy lifestyle. I believe that therapy is not only beneficial for self health but it also creates this foundation that brings healing to the mind, body and soul. My past experience as a behavioral specialist at an elementary school for several years prior to pursuing a degree as a marriage and family therapist all taught me how to utilize the best evidence based practices in real life settings. As a mom and wife I understand the challenges that families endure and I can help with couples counseling, families, individual and group sessions.

Specialties: EMDR, Trauma, family systems (internal and external!); adolescent and family; holistic approaches; therapeutic techniques including DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic work, and Trauma-Focused CBT; team player; empathic listening; victim-offender issues; crisis intervention; workplace issues.
My ideal client is an adult or late teen/young adult, with an interest in improving and transforming their life via therapy. I focus on the whole person, contextualizing presenting problems/diagnoses within the framework of family dynamics, peer relations, trauma history, physical health, and job/school experience. That is, I don't consider it useful to assume that issues arise in a vacuum! The greatest gift my clients give me is their ability to teach me far more than I could possibly teach them. I consider our time in session one of validation, hope, and intense curiosity about my client's lives.

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.
