I work to support those who are navigating a variety of challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, oppositional defiance disorder, self-esteem, and other difficult life adjustments. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, primarily utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These techniques are designed to help clients identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and process past traumatic experiences, ultimately improving emotional well-being and daily functioning.

Are you feeling stuck and despite being insightful and intelligent; you just can't seem to "figure it out" on your own? Do you feel like you got caught up being who others expect you to be, instead of being who you really are? If you are ready to stop the self-defeating cycle of negative thoughts (e.g. "What's wrong with me? Why am I this way?"), anxious and sad feelings, and poor coping behaviors (e.g. over-working, perfectionism, procrastination); I would love to talk with you.

Sometimes life is hard and overwhelming. You try to hold it all together and as far as anyone can tell you are doing just that. But on the inside you are falling apart. You're exhausted trying to keep your life together and hold it in so nobody knows what you're really going through. You're worried it's starting to show. But now it's enough. You don't think you can hold it in and hide it anymore. You're tired of keeping it all together for everyone else, and ignoring yourself and your own needs. It's okay that you are not okay. That's the first step, realizing it's time for something to change. It's time that you took care of you!

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What issues does family therapy help with?
Family therapy can help families navigate the complex dynamics of family life, including communication challenges and recurring conflict between family members. A therapist can help family members identify dysfunctional patterns in communication and develop healthier ways of relating. Family therapy may also be helpful during major life transitions or stressful events that affect the family system, such as grief, divorce, trauma, relocation, or a serious illness. In some cases, family therapy can support families coping with specific mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, alcohol or substance use disorders, and eating disorders. In these situations, therapy can provide education and support for family members, as well as to the individual with the mental health diagnosis.

How do I know if my family needs counseling?
Family therapy may be helpful if a family consistently struggles with conflict or communication in a way that affects daily life or relationships. It can also be beneficial when someone in the family is experiencing significant emotional or behavioral changes, such as a family member becoming aggressive, withdrawing, or struggling to cope after a traumatic event. Additionally, some concerns, such as addiction or eating disorders, may be especially important to address in the context of the family unit.

Who attends family counseling sessions?
Family counseling sessions are often attended by members of the immediate family, such as parents, caregivers, children, or siblings. However, other family members may attend when appropriate, including grandparents, stepparents, stepsiblings, or co-parents. Who attends may depend on the family’s needs, the therapist’s recommendations, and the goals of treatment.

Can family therapy be done online?
Family therapy can often be done online. Virtual sessions may be especially convenient when family members live in different locations, have busy schedules, or live in an area where family therapists are less accessible. However, online therapy may not be the best fit for every family. In-person care may be more appropriate when there are safety concerns, severe conflict, limited privacy at home, or when young children have difficulty engaging through a screen.

What therapeutic approaches are used in family counseling?
Family therapy can take different forms, including systemic family therapy (exploring how individual actions affect the family), structural family therapy (uncovering the structure and relationship dynamics of the family unit), and attachment-based family therapy (focusing on how bonds between family members shape relationships). Family therapy may also include psychoeducation, which helps family members learn more about a mental health condition and how to respond to it more effectively.

How much does family therapy cost and is it covered by insurance?
Family therapy sessions, which typically last about an hour, often range from $150 to $250 or more, depending on factors such as location, therapist experience, session length, and practice setting. In general, family therapy may cost more than individual therapy because it involves multiple participants and more complex treatment planning. Insurance coverage for family therapy varies by plan. Some plans may cover family therapy when it is part of treatment for a diagnosed mental health condition affecting one family member. However, many plans do not cover therapy for general family conflict, communication concerns, or relationship issues alone. Before starting therapy, it is important to check with your insurance provider to confirm whether family therapy is covered, what your copay or deductible may be, and whether any diagnosis, referral, or prior authorization is required.
