As a License Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I am committed to working collaboratively with you to swim back to the shoreline by setting clear achievable goals to live a life full of hope, positivity, confidence, and an improved self-esteem.
Life can sometimes be a rollercoaster of events that can impede and disrupt our life and our relationships. You feel overwhelmed, confused, or have difficulty expressing your thoughts and feelings. You wonder why your situation has taken a toll on your self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence. Are you juggling multiple responsibilities (husband/wife, parent, career, caring for older family members, etc.) and feel like you are failing at everything? The waves of life has left you hopeless, helpless and gasping for air with no shoreline in sight. Are you ready to take back your life and improve your relationships?

As a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Adoption Counselor, I can come along side to help you in a number of areas: formal and informal (kinship) adoption, parent stress management, transracial and bicultural adoptions, romantic relationship conflicts, parent-child attachment, and complex trauma.
Families, and the relationships that hold them together, are a part of all of us. Regardless of their beginning or circumstance, they shape us in a multitude of ways. Oftentimes, they can be the source of the happiest and most painful moments in our lives. And, learning how to navigate your way through those relationships, as they change and grow throughout your life, can be hard at times and can make you feel "stuck". That's where I come in.

Children who are questioning their gender identity need to be heard and believed. Parents who are lost in this process.....You've come to the right place! Children's gender identity is innate and it is a gift. In order for a child to achieve self esteem, confidence and self expression skills they must first be surrounded by a supportive family as well as develop a healthy pride in who and what they are or may become in time. Gender is fluid and needs to be honored in all stages and at all ages. That work starts here!

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.
