I work with adults who are going through difficult times in their lives—divorce, job loss, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or family stressors.
You know how it is possible to get lost when you are walking in a dense forest and don’t have a compass or a map to use as a guide? Well, I help individuals, couples, and families who are feeling lost and confused by functioning as a guide for them. Together, we develop reference points such as how you can build skills, adapt and adjust to stressors, set house rules, talk to each other, and resolve conflicts.

I believe growth happens at the intersection of awareness, education, and motivation/willingness to change. With a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect, I hope to provide a non-judgmental environment where you can feel a sense of honesty and accountability. My goal is to increase self-awareness to identify and challenge unwanted patterns that keep you stuck in the maze of your own emotions and self-doubt. I also believe it’s essential to look at the impacts of early attachment and family dynamics on your self-concept to see what influences have shaped the person you are today: the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Internal Family Systems is a compassionate approach to helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts.
Your body is exhausted, and so are you. Would you like compassionate care to heal from disordered eating and/or trauma? As a trained IFS therapist, somatic healer, and yoga practitioner I work in collaboration with individuals to experience the benefits of feeling at ease in one's mind, body, spirit. If you want to engage in therapy with a more holistic approach that includes not just "talking" about your problems but actually FEELING inside better then I encourage you to reach out. Past clients report after working with me a greater sense of connection with themselves and others. Body Trust is a birthright and you are worthy of it.

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.
