As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I work with both couples and individuals addressing an array of presenting issues including general mental health concerns, family of origin wounds, attachment, communication and substance abuse.
Hey there! I'm glad you're taking the time and effort to pour back into yourself. When life gets overwhelming, we sometimes turn to self neglect instead of self love and empowerment. I'm here to help! My approach as a therapist, stems from strengths-based and family systems models which means I strive to honor a client's full self, identifying strengths and learning new skills during the healing process. I believe that you have the power to make the changes you wish to see in your life. Together we can unpack and explore your full self and discuss strategies for stoking the fire of hope and change.

I employ this "relational science" to help you work through the conflict and stress of your personal, career, and family life.
We are born-in, hurt-in, and healed-in relationships. I can help you unpack the challenges that keep you from living your best life. We constantly seek connection and a sense of belonging in our personal, family and work lives. Living in a state of despair, disappointment, and pain is not normal. If you desire change, let's start that journey today. I know how to help move you from where you are, to where you want to be. Growth and change can be anxiety provoking, initially. But, so rewarding when properly nurtured. My passion is helping people take courage in learning how to fully experience the hope that is within them.

As a marriage/ family therapist associate, I am able to sit with you, or even you AND your spouse, & help you gain insight into how every relationship in your life has impacted how you view & navigate your world today.
Striving to be excellent at all the things has become a lot to carry on your own and with all the "great things" going on in your life, it has become really difficult to admit how overwhelming it can be in your head. Work is stressful, your family and friends don't really understand and well, you're having some imposter syndrome and your spouse or lack there of is another conversation. It's so much. Almost too much. You just want to make sense of it and turn down some of the noise in your head. Maybe find a way to not feel so heavy all the time.

How can I help as a therapist? By emulating the compassion and grace given to me and actively surrendering everyday to God, family, and my recovery community.
Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don't believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I 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.
