In my free time I enjoy being in nature, seeing new places, spending time with my
family
/doggies and going for long drives with some good tunes.
I enjoy working with adolescents who have a history of trauma and are looking for support in learning how to navigate symptoms. I also enjoy working with adults who are looking to improve symptoms of anxiety, life stressors, self-esteem, depression and who have also experienced trauma. I work to provide a safe space to discuss concerns in daily living and normalize mental health, removing the negative stigmas that can be placed around it.

It seems like everyone depends on you for every little thing anymore, but deep down you want to be left alone before you fall apart. Everything feels overwhelming that you just shut down and disconnect from the world. You are overstimulated with learning how to be a parent, wife, and/or working mother that you can't seem to catch your breath. Feelings of guilt creep in while scrolling on your phone, taking a nap, or going out without your
family
. You spend most of your day thinking that you aren't enough and terrified someone will find out. Motherhood can be a lonely adventure without the right supports in place.

Life is hard and there are no instructions. Sometimes we struggle with the big issues like death, anxiety, isolation and meaninglessness. Other times a relationship or
family
life has grown challenging and painful. Substance use can truly destroy a life. For some there are specific quirks that are causing problems. Most of these issues require in-depth exploration, increased mindfulness and engagement with the world, and specific behavioral change. Having a trusted guide can be a great 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.
