I am a therapist who integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques and systems theories into my clinical treatment of children, adolescents, and college students. Because I greatly value interdisciplinary work, I strive for successful collaboration with social workers, physicians, and educators in the provision of holistic behavioral healthcare for my clients. With a deep appreciation for the
family
system I partner with the important people in a child's life who often influence and affect their behavior through modeling and other relational processes. By providing concrete parenting strategies that increase self-efficacy, I aim to reduce disruptive behaviors & improve parent-child relationships.

As far as anyone can tell, you are doing great in life. You are motivated, independent and strong. But on the inside, you are struggling with unresolved trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and lack of purpose. You've spent too much time pretending you have everything together, but you're overwhelmed and you don't think you can do it anymore. You're tired of being a 'people pleaser' and giving so much to everyone else while you forget about yourself. Not anymore. It's time for growth and change.

I strive to provide needed support for my clients no matter what life challenges they may be facing. I work with them to pilot through these challenges of life, whether they are personal, with

Nourish to Flourish Therapy is a space for holistic healing from traumatic experiences/
family
of origin wounds, anxiety, and relationship challenges.
The greatest gift we can give to ourselves and those we love is to heal our wounds. Through healing, we can begin to hear what others are truly saying without the filter of our wounds. We can connect deeper with ourselves and others. We begin to feel a sense of ease and clarity in the present without feeling plagued by our past. Maybe you're aware of certain circumstances that you have experienced, which are impacting your current functioning; maybe you aren't. Either way, if you feel the inner pull toward self discovery, Nourish to Flourish Therapy is here for you.

My expertise includes anxiety, relationship concerns (friends,
family
, and romantic), body image concerns, grief, spirituality, depression, guided meditations, and body-centered therapy.
“And how do you feel about that!?” ---Says every TV comedy-bit depicting therapy. In reality, it can be intimidating to share our true feelings with another person- especially with a (virtual) stranger. In therapy sessions, I therefore create a warm, safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, space to unpack your story. I view you as an expert on yourself and will encourage you to honor your own inner wisdom. I value processing your unique context and how intersectional identities and structures of oppression contribute to your distress. My goal is to illuminate the root causes of your pain and to help guide you towards healing and growth.

Living in connection with others is a most basic need we all share.

My goal as therapist is to create a safe environment for individuals, couples and families to explore, experience and express personal and relationship needs toward achieving specific therapeutic goals. In my office, the client is the expert on his/her life.

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.
