Clinically, I pull from a variety of modalities including person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, and emotion focused.
If you're scrolling through these pages, something in life has pushed you to decide to seek support. Maybe you're a new parent, struggling to process recent birth trauma while also figuring out how to take care of the new little life in your arms. Perhaps you've been able to manage symptoms of ADHD well enough until recently, and suddenly the overwhelm and executive dysfunction is becoming too much of a challenge to navigate alone. Anxiety, ADHD, depression, postpartum and parenting...all of these can lead us to feel isolated and alone sometimes, struggling to figure out how to cope. You don't have to figure it out alone; welcome!

People enter therapy because they want to improve something in their lives. Often the timing of this choice to seek therapy is not ideal - you may be having family or work stress, you may be depressed, anxious, tired and unable to think clearly or make decisions.

I work with adults and young adults (16 years +) facing emotional, interpersonal, career and medical challenges.

Although I employ an eclectic mix of counseling theories, I lean toward family systems using the genogram as the foundational guide.
We live such hectic and often overwhelming lives that counseling provides us the opportunity to check out, even if only for a moment. Granting individuals a listening ear and a compassionate empathetic response is my specialty. My ultimate goal is to build healthy individuals and families by developing the therapeutic tool box filled with practices that bring calm to chaos. We must look to our foundation and past experiences in order to create a plan for healing and future success. With that, much of our work will involve delving deep into Family of Origin issues in order to create healthy new norms and patterns.

Having worked in a hospital, a family service agency, a women's college, and private practice, I have developed expertise in addressing the effects of illness on emotional well-being, the impact of family dynamics on personal development, and the particular concerns of college-age and young adult individuals.
Everyone struggles with challenges, some situational and time-limited, some more ongoing. When you're feeling troubled or "stuck," talking to a therapist, a professional who isn't part of your personal circle of family and friends, can offer a safe space to identify what is out of balance for you and to explore effective options. Whether difficulties stem from relationships, stress about work or family issues, or how you feel about yourself, finding an understanding and experienced therapist can make a real and lasting difference. I can help you learn about yourself, your patterns, and your choices.

I believe that meaningful relationships with our self, our partner(s), family, friends, and community are essential to our overall sense of wellness, life satisfaction and emotional security. Using a systemic, attachment-based framework, I seek to create an environment that is affirming, strengths-based and collaborative, while also challenging my clients to identify narratives that no longer serve them, behaviors that move them further from their goals, and dynamics they feel stuck in.

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.
