The ones I use most often are EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Schedule online instantly through my website link in my bio! I specialize in supporting women to find clarity, courage, and abundance through major relationship transitions. Sometimes you just need to be deeply seen and heard with compassion, acceptance, and empathy. Compassion might not feel like enough, though. Sometimes you’ll want more active help sorting through some of the burdens you’re carrying. I’ll ask questions, offer alternative ways of looking at things, point out and question some of your assumptions, and sometimes suggest resources or strategies.

My experience includes working with children who are experiencing mood disturbances, anxiety, phobias, family changes, gender identity issues, difficulty managing anger, low self-concept, and high-risk behaviors.
My central focus is providing compassionate support to children and adolescents who are experiencing difficulty in relating to others in their lives, be it with parents, siblings, peers, or other adults. I believe that relationship is the catalyst for any change. Together we will work to establish a relationship characterized by safety, trust, and compassion so that we can do the important work of moving past the fear, anxiety, or sadness that is blocking you or your child.

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.
