I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental safe place to explore, process, and heal. You might not feel like it, but you are stronger than you know. I will be your biggest cheerleader, your advocate, your support in times of stress. I will also challenge the old ways of thinking and doing things.

Does your heart beat too fast at unexpected times? Is there a whirlwind of emotion that you can't quite grasp? Does it feel like your struggling to survive? Many of us have been taught to "keep on" no matter what adversity we've experienced and often without the help we need. Are you attempting to navigate a world that doesn't make sense or align with your values? Are you caring for everyone else before you can get to your own needs? These experiences can cause anxiety, depression, irritability and even justified anger. I can help you process your experience(s), cope with your sadness, and find healing from trauma. Joy is possible.

I often use Internal Family Systems informed therapy to help you understand and relate yourself and gain more self compassion.
Do you have it together on the outside while inside you’re struggling with feeling disconnected, anxious, or on edge? Do you want to live authentically, but you're not sure what authentic even is for you? I help those who struggle with trauma, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and depression to get to the root of their challenges so they can gain understanding and self compassion. As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I love working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folks on how their identity impacts their mental health. I have completed Gottman Level 1 training and integrate its research-based methods into my work to support couples.

I also enjoy supporting those navigating issues related to family and children (including perinatal mental health).
Something tipped the scale – a crisis, life transition, or enough of the same thing. You’ve tried to get through on your own in healthy and unhealthy ways, and now, you're ready for something different. While your story is your own, my clients find comfort in having an experienced therapist support them in navigating the themes, feelings, and difficulties that are more common than they ever knew. It’s less lonely that way. I often use EMDR to help clients reprocess difficult or traumatic experiences, to find relief from symptoms, feelings, and thoughts about themselves, that have been troubling them recently or for years.

You are carrying more than people realize. You have been strong for others, but you feel tired, unheard, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You want clarity, relief, and a safe space to set things down and breathe. You are ready to understand yourself more deeply, heal old wounds, strengthen boundaries, and navigate life with more confidence and calm. Above all, you want to feel seen, supported, and grounded as you step into a stronger and more authentic version of yourself.

FAQ - About 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.
