Overwhelming worry and stress seem to follow you everywhere. You struggle to maintain focus, make decisions, and let go of things. Constant overthinking depletes your energy, leaving you irritable, restless, and on edge. The more this persists, the more dejected and hopeless you feel about it ever changing. You have tried coping on your own, but solutions that used to work no longer seem to help. You dream of a happier life – free from worry, present in the moment, and optimistic about the future – and wonder if it is possible. I know what these struggles are like, and I can help you restore hope in yourself.

For some people, therapy is a scary word. There’s been a lot of stigma around it for a long time. But for others it is relief. It takes courage to begin therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning after several years. Life transitions and events can sometimes lead to overwhelming feelings of stress and you need someone to help you navigate through these difficult times. I want my clients to find relief from what they are experiencing and give them an outlet to express themselves. Therapy is self-care, and I want clients to view it as such instead of something they “have to do”.

I serve mothers, couples, and extended family throughout the prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum journey.
In a world that can feel increasingly polarized, our conversations make a difference in how we go on. Each interaction has the possibility of bringing us closer together or pushing us further apart. As we feel more understood, respected and capable, we can turn towards ourselves and one another with more compassion and capacity for connection. We can bring more curiosity to our contradictions and complexities.

I am strongly influenced by Structural Family Therapy where I help clients try a new and positive behavior and THEN they feel better.
You want a deeper connection with your partner but it feels so awkward to talk about it or create such fights that you both have accepted it and you're now walking on eggshells. You're not even sure they see you or care about your experience anymore. You feel stuck with a person who will never appreciate you or understand you as a person. Sex too is awkward and now feels like a chore. One of you is pushing for it the other avoiding it. You wish that you felt closer to your partner and more attracted to them. If only sex was interesting and pleasurable...but it's not. It's a chore that at times involves painful sex and avoiding.

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.
