I also work with adolescents and adults using EMDR, Art, Somatic, DBT and Internal Family Systems therapies.
I adhere to the belief that each person inherently knows themselves best; I am here to walk alongside you to offer insight and skills. I view each person I meet with unconditional positive regard. I also consider myself an EMDR Therapist who offers healing through trauma insight. Believe it or not, there is joy (or at the least, less stress/pain) in the midst of all that! I love helping women (and their kids) work to find their worth, and their positive mental health; walking with them as they grow and get strong.

With technological advances, and a much more hurried society, I have embraced the idea of Online Counseling, and have been able to translate my more than 20 years of experience in the field into an online environment. I provide video and phone sessions and found that combining one or both of those modalities with ongoing email exchanges has been much more beneficial to my clients than the standard one hour a week office appointment. Clients can schedule appointments during their lunch hour, or during their commute, taking less time away from family and work. We work on everything from past trauma to daily life stressors.

Your anxiety is a car on a racetrack of thoughts where the only way off is a brief pit stop for repairs. But that only delays reentry to the same circular pattern. Your mind turns familiar scenarios, images, and disasters over and over again, plunging you into stomach-clenching agony. Stress from work, family, and other relationships only make it worse. The worry and fear get so bad sometimes that they boil over into panic. The shame of losing control causes the cycle to start all over again. So you become avoidant of the people and places that seem to trigger these difficult feelings.

Perhaps, you’re at an earlier stage of parenting and are pregnant, in the adoption process or navigating postpartum, needing space to figure out what this new role means. You may have tried therapy before and had difficulty clicking with a therapist or have been looking for weeks, even months, to find someone who’s bio you connect with.

Mission Statement: To provide every family of a loved one with a substance use or mental disorder the opportunity for closure, knowing they did all they could to help themselves and their loved one.
An intervention is not about how to control your loved one with a substance use or mental disorder; it is about learning how to let go of believing you can. A person enables for various reasons, often having little to do with someone suffering from a substance use or mental disorder. Most people understand that enabling a loved one with a mental disorder or to use substances often removes their ability to face the consequences, see the need for change, and advocate for their own care. The question is not about what the enabling provides for the substance user but more what it provides to the enabler.

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.
