I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, and specialize in providing services to children (3 and older) and adolescents through individual, family and play therapy.
Life is full of surprises and sometimes it is difficult to know how to handle these changes. I am dedicated to providing a professional, caring and respectful environment which encourages clients to collaborate in identifying areas of concern and individualizing goals. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques that are research-based and effective, clients learn ways to cope with those changes that were once viewed as troublesome.

You want to enjoy your family and your work, but you're stressed out and exhausted trying to keep up with it all. Sometimes you snap, or need your space, but then you feel guilty and get hard on yourself because you don't want to let anyone down. You're spread too thin and struggle to make time for yourself, and your health and relationships are taking the hit. You wonder "Why does everyone else seem like they can juggle so many things, and I'm so exhausted I'm ready to collapse?" But of course you don't show that, everyone thinks you're fine. Life doesn't have to be this way. You can change this, and it's ok to ask for help!

Knowing how to compassionately and accurately draw out the impact of family legacies, unmet developmental needs as well as client strengths and their genuine commitments in life and in relationships, has led to exceptional success and healing for people I have worked with.
My focus might be short term counseling or longer term in-depth psychotherapy, depending on the needs of the client. In all cases, the client-therapist or counselor relationship quality is critical to real sustainable change. This relationship quality is created through empathy, genuiness and respect for the client and a genuine desire on my part to understand. When people feel known accurately and respected, that intangible magic begins to happen which leads to healing. Truth and love are definitely a part of that which leads us directly into the spiritual realm. Individual and couples therapy are my specialties.

I trained in one of the longest-running accredited marriage and family therapy programs in the United States and furthered that education with an additional graduate certificate in Sex Therapy.
Growing up in a small, midwestern town, I came to realize that we don't get nearly enough information on how to properly engage with one another in our relationships in healthy and fulfilling ways. As a queer and trans person, the lack of information was exponentially worse. As a therapist, I want to be there for people who recognize this and want to have better relationships with others and with themselves. I also want to be there especially for my fellow queer and transgender people given how lonely I felt thinking that there were no therapists like me. While I didn't get that, I want to BE that for others.

I enjoy working with people to create a nonjudgmental space that is tailored to their needs and goals. My view is that we are connected internally and externally in a web of different systems that impact us, and through understanding how these systems and the client are affecting one another do we get a comprehensive view of what’s going on. When appropriate and agreed upon, I will work with people in these different systems (e.g., family, loved ones, teachers, primary care providers, social workers, parole officers, etc.) to help provide continuity of care and a cohesive treatment plan.

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.
