Feelings of hopelessness and anxiety can become paralyzing, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. It’s easy to resort to unhealthy thoughts and behaviors to cope with life’s endless challenges. Are you using drugs, alcohol, shopping or food to avoid your fears and emotions? Are you drowning in the should haves and what if’s? I work with clients pre-teen and up who are looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, codependency, stress, relationships, sleep disorders, work/life balance and life transitions. I also specialize in working with military-connected clients, first responders and their
family
members.

In times when we are feeling stuck or challenged, therapy can provide a space for healing, growth, and self-understanding.

My extensive experience with working with children, teens, and parents along with my training in marriage and
family
systems, has made me uniquely qualified to assess and improve relationships within a
family
.
Life might have thrown you a new curveball that has gotten you off balance. OR nothing big has happened, but feelings of being stuck have emerged from somewhere. Psychotherapy offers you a safe place to make changes to old patterns that hold you back. I can help you navigate the uncharted path & assist in developing the insights & skills you need to thrive in life. Therapy works best when we collaborate toward created goals in a respectful & affirming setting. Our work involves identifying & working through unhealthy relationship patterns, helping to change the way you think to improve the way you feel, in order to live your life.

Hi! I'm a relational therapist, meaning I work with adults to improve the relationships in their life. This can be romantic relationships, parenting, work/peer relationships,
family
of origin (parents/siblings), in-laws, and/or friendships. I’m passionate about helping people build and strengthen their relationships because I know, personally, how dysfunctional relationships can impact your daily life. Whether you are faced with childhood trauma, marital issues, unhealthy boundaries or lack of intimacy (to name a few), I'm here to sit with you as we navigate through the waters.

You deserve a therapist who can not only make you feel safe and heard but who you get along with. We may tackle issues such as anxiety,
family
conflict, relationships, and trauma, and I believe that a good therapist is someone you trust are willing to share the parts that you're barely willing to acknowledge to yourself. We will walk together to help you get what you want out of this short life. We may be an especially good fit if you have experienced difficulties with your religion or spirituality, especially if you were raised within a rigid belief system.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re looking into therapy as a next step in your life. Finding a new therapist can be a daunting process, but it’s ultimately a rewarding one. I hope this page can give you a bit more encouragement and information for your search. I’ve provided therapy for ten years across a range of settings, including
family
/couples guidance centers, VA clinics, and university counseling centers — and I’ve learned that therapy looks different for each client. At the end of the day, though, I believe good therapy boils down to three basic ingredients: Building a relationship, telling your story, and taking action together.

I have been involved in training touching on a variety of topics since graduate school including: Marriage and
Family
issues, Mindfulness in Psychotherapy, the Immersion course with Diana Fosha(AEDP)and an in depth study of various models for working with couples including those formulated by Susan Johnson and Leslie Greenberg.
Over the years I have come to enjoy working with a variety of clients. I work with children ages 2 through adolescence utilizing play therapy as one of my modalities. I also see adults for individual issues including anxiety, depression, parenting, and relationship issues. My practice includes working with couples assisting them in recognizing the problem cycles that get created and hopefully learning to build intimacy and connection. Since I work with children, families are a part of my practice as well-I see each individual as an integral part of the whole.

Currently I work with adults to address issues of infertility, perinatal and postpartum, relationship issues,
family
conflict, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
Are you struggling to cope with our ever-changing, stressful world? Do you wish to improve the relationship with yourself and others and aren't quite sure how to do that? Are you struggling with infertility or would you like support during your pregnancy and post-partum journey? As a therapist, it is my goal to help you address the issues you are facing in a safe environment and work toward personal growth. I truly believe we all have the capacity for change and to empower ourselves. Having participated in a great amount of therapy myself, I understand what it is like to be on the other side and to be vulnerable with someone new.

You’re fucking exhausted. This is not where you thought you’d be at this age. You think you should’ve already figured out your relationships, your career, your
family
, etc. Isn’t there more to life?! All you want to do is crawl into bed and pull the covers over your head. The mean voice inside keeps telling you that you aren’t good enough, that you don’t deserve to rest. “Take care of everyone else before taking care of yourself." “You have to be strong…All The Damn Time.“ You can’t say no because then they won’t like you."

I have helped couples and individuals heal outdated beliefs and attitudes about themselves and relationships by looking at their
family
of origin.
I have helped couples for 30 years to transform their relationship using Imago Relationship Therapy. I teach couples a communication skill set that foster emotional maturity and respect. This changes relationships. Being in relationship can be challenging during the second stage of relationship when the newness recedes and irritations begins. The Imago model increases consciousness and healing around the origins of conflict. This awareness empowers couples in their ability to change so they are no longer victims to dysfunctional patterns. I incorporate a psycho-spiritual approach in my Imago work as well as individual counseling.

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.
