By attending to your relationship dynamics, family messages, and your identity and relationship goals, we will help you access your power and find a sense of safety and calmness.
Are you ready to be more vulnerable but aren’t sure where to start? Have you found yourself struggling to share honestly with those around you? Or maybe you’ve tried sharing more of yourself with others, but you aren’t sure where you belong or if others will accept you? Our families can have a big impact on how we show up in our adult relationships. Cultural messages often impact how safe we feel to be fully ourselves. Shame and guilt can hold us back from experiencing intimacy and connection with ourselves and others. Together we will help you heal from any past wounds so you can feel more aligned in the present.

There are so many profiles and acronyms after people's names on this website, and you just want some help with a mental health issue, life stressors, or maybe you're not entirely sure what you need help with. Perhaps the pandemic has just rocked your world, and things haven't quite gotten back to where it used to be for you. And you're here because a friend or family member encouraged you to look for some help, but now, it's kind of overwhelming with all of these profiles and degrees and specialities.

However my passions are marriage and family therapy and adolescent mental health.
I think that everyone deserves to feel better. Unfortunately life happens and throws us a curve ball. This can leave us feeling out of sorts. We try to put our life "back together" as best we can seeking help from family or friends. Sometimes this is not enough. This is where I come in, helping you find a way to make a run even if life pitches you one curve ball after another. At times it will be difficult and you may feel like you struck out but with practice, guidance, and uncovering inner strength you can make a run maybe even a homerun.

Making the decision on which therapist to work with is based on many factors. Perhaps the most important factor is finding someone you are comfortable with so they can be of help. My goal in working with clients is to start by establishing a nonjudgmental, yet honest, relationship that is supportive enough to explore topics and gain insight into issues most relevant to them. I have experience working with clients from all backgrounds with a variety of difficulties, including relationship issues, life transitions, depression, identity struggles, anxiety, and grief.

Stress comes in many forms...relationships, school, work, and life changes/transitions. I enjoy working with adults who have tangible personal goals for treatment. They are driven and motivated to improve or change and are looking for motivation or accountability through treatment. I have helped clients to develop helpful coping skills and strategies that they can use when they encounter stressful life situations now, and in the future.

Mental health exists across the board, no matter the age or culture we come from. From experience and observation, I have found that when we feel heard, validated, and valued by people we trust, the impact is significant and lastingly beneficial. Working on “self”, developing the skills needed to navigate life, building relationships, and maintaining overall well-being can be challenging. I hope to meet you where you are while we build a relationship based on trust, rapport, and empathy. As we continue working together in a non-judgmental, safe space, we will establish your needs and goals as you see fit.

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.
