I specialize in working with survivors of sexual trauma and folks who want to work through
family
of origin conflicts and relationship issues. Are you struggling to overcome the pain of childhood abuse? Did you feel alone and afraid as a child? Do you feel like your
family
did not understand you or support you? Do you struggle to be intimate with others and keep lasting relationships? Do you feel stuck in the past and want greater freedom in your life? My personal experiences combined with professional training have led me to help others heal their experiences of abuse and shame using a holistic trauma-informed approach.

As a Marriage and
Family Therapist
it provides me a unique perspective on people and their issues.
The
Family
Connection is a safe, inviting place that helps people to address their own concerns and grow to be the person that they want to be. That person has always been there but is often hidden behind pain and negative self thoughts. I enjoy helping people find what decisions and behaviors have led them to this place of pain and how to make different decisions within their own life, to become more empowered to be the person they have always desired to be.

I specialize in couple and
family therapy
.
Suppose previous therapies left you disappointed by a lack of depth. You might be a more complex person for whom quick-fix approaches aren't enough. I recognize that past influences present and strive to help you resolve your immediate problems, as well as avoid repeating unhealthy patterns that undermine your ability to live a more satisfying and fulfilling life. As a result, psychotherapy often becomes a process of growth and discovery that enables you to live with ease and joy, ultimately leading to a greater sense of inner peace and freedom.

Whether you are seeking treatment for yourself, your relationship, your
family
or someone else, I am here and I can help.
I help people recover from trauma. I know what it's like to wake up every day feeling disconnected and afraid. I know the depression, anxiety, and confusion that accompany surviving a traumatic experience. I know that it takes time to understand what you've been through; that it was real, it wasn't imagined, and that any damage done was not of your own making. I also know that healing is possible. It is possible for you to feel confident and safe in your own body. To trust yourself, and have faith in your choices. To know that you are not your past, you are already whole and complete, and YOU are the expert on your own 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.
