Our practice includes several therapists who specialize in different areas, such as pregnancy related issues, as well as family counseling.
I enjoy working with all ages, and have extensive experience helping clients who have experienced trauma and anxiety. I love helping children who are in foster care and/or who have been adopted, and also with adults who have experienced a traumatic childhood. It is very satisfying to watch someone overcome the obstacles that have kept them from enjoying life and reaching their highest potential.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist (t), I have helped couples & families achieve a new sense of understanding each other that leads to satisfaction in many areas of their lives.
Accepting new clients! Are you finding you and your partner arguing often, living as roommates, walking on eggshells, or all of the above? This can be very lonely and feel like a great love lost. Avoiding the root of these conflicts can continue negative cycles and lead to resentment, and relationship exhaustion. I use the "gold standard" of couples therapy to help couples understand their pattern of interaction, become aware of how to change it, and begin to cradle each other in conflict instead of turning away.

I see individuals ages 8-26. I offer individual and family therapy sessions. My sessions are very unique in that I allow a place for kiddos to be kiddos. My favorite part of my job is when a client tells me, "I never thought therapy could be like this." or "This makes so much sense." Kiddos are in a state of development that can be either extremely scary or exciting. What makes the difference is when they and loved ones understand this process on a cognitive, emotional, and physiological level. Then behaviors and responses become more clear and how to handle them becomes more effective.

Finding a therapist and starting therapy can feel hard. Often we wait until things are overwhelming and we have no idea where to start. I feel my job as a therapist is to help guide you through the journey of therapy and self discovery. I view therapy as a partnership where we set goals and figure out how to approach them together. It can be scary to realize you need help navigating through certain situations, but with the right person to help guide you, the process can feel empowering. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, life changes, family problems, ADHD, or are simply trying to navigate life, we can work together.

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.
