Managing relationships can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be that way. For more than 15 years, I've been helping people with their relationships, specifically those that may cause negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. I focus on helping those dealing with unhealthy or challenging relationships. Communication is critical, and I can help people improve it. I also assist professionals who struggle with finding harmony between work and personal life, busy moms who may feel overwhelmed, and anyone who needs to learn the importance of self-nurturing.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, parenting stress, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, family conflict, grief, life transitions, peer relationships, relationship issues, school issues, self esteem, stress, trauma and PTSD, and women's issues.
Maybe you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders for so long that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to breathe easily. Life feels overwhelming, whether it’s navigating relationships, adjusting to big life changes, healing from past wounds, or simply trying to quiet the nonstop chatter in your mind. You might feel stuck, burnt out, or unsure of who you are outside of the roles you’ve been expected to play. Deep down, you know you want more, peace, confidence, and a sense of direction.

Feeling stuck and repeating the same story day after day can be exhausting. Even when things seem to change around you, it often feels like you're not changing with them. You might find yourself disconnected from who you are, longing for deeper connections with others and a sense of stability and safety you've never fully experienced. You aspire to explore the deep-rooted narratives and struggles that hold you back, seeking a fulfilling and enriching life.

Teens often find my laid-back, non-judgmental, “let’s keep it real” approach to address everything from behavioral issues, family issues, or just trying to figure out who they are and find their way in the world.
With over a decade of experience as a childbirth professional, I have a special passion with perinatal disorders - especially childbirth trauma, which often goes unrecognized, causing many to struggle in silence. Perinatal difficulties can impact everything from mother-child bonding, relationship issues, and self-view. It’s time to get your life back!

As a therapist, I enjoy supporting individuals and families through transitions and challenges at home, school, work, in relationships, personal lives, and beyond.
Carl Rogers once said, “it is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried…” Sometimes when we tap into that deep-seated knowledge, it can help bring clarity to our present situation. Feeling supported as we navigate through life’s challenges can be a game-changer. While each therapeutic journey is unique, I believe that collaboration is often key to the process.

Family Therapy Therapists
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.
