If you suffered trauma or had difficult family dynamics, like unloving parents or siblings, let’s talk.
Do you constantly ask yourself, “What could I be doing better?” or “What am I doing wrong?” You’re not alone if you have low self-esteem, struggle with your body image, or feel the pressure to constantly “be on.” Living in a perfectionist society is hard. Is the stress of “doing it all” interfering with your joy & happiness? The need to be a perfectionist may create poor sleeping habits, negatively impact time with loved ones, and lead to second-guessing yourself. It is painful to live with these feelings; you don’t have to do it alone.

We also conduct interventions & family sessions.
Life is a series of transitions - some peaks and some valleys. I find these valleys often are a result of internal conflict and external events or pressure. I believe that we all have an authentic self and much of the internal conflict comes from living inauthentically, which develops into maladaptive behaviors. There’s “the way it seems” and “the way it is,” and sometimes we all need someone to remind us of “the way it is.” That’s where I come in - my goals are to work TOGETHER with you to navigate a new path toward living your most authentic life and finding inner peace and confidence to be that person.

I have worked the past nine years with adults and their care partners living with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Stroke, Migraine, Epilepsy and ALS. I have witnessed families that have been destroyed by the introduction of a chronic illness into the family system leading to loss of passion and purpose in lives. I have also been privileged to watch many individuals and families grow through the unexpected struggles and become closer, make new friends and create new dreams.

I believe that parents should be the head of the family , and that kids are the happiest and healthiest when they are in a good routine, with clear rules and consequences.
I know that if you have a concern about your child, it can keep you up at night. Maybe you've tried internet searches or self-help books - but lately, you're feeling ready for some professional help. I take pride in meeting your family where they are with professional, helpful, and immediate suggestions. I am a great fit for families who feel they have not been informed enough about their child's therapy in the past.

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.
