My approach is equally informed by evidence-based practices (including EMDR, CBT, Internal Family Systems) as it is in my collaborative work with your unique growth process.
I specialize in helping you to find a joyful, balanced, and grounded life. I believe the most effective route to change and healing is through connection - both within yourself and in relationships with others. Navigating transitions, relationships, and challenges can be complicated - and anxiety and depression make things difficult. In sessions we address painful feelings and experiences, resulting in increased happiness and better relationships. We will work together to uncover your authentic self, build tools to create change, and tune into your innate resiliency.

I specialize in working with entire family systems, from young children through adults.
I have a passion for supporting people in building healthy, lasting relationships. "Problems" don't just impact one part of our lives, but leak into every aspect of them and can make it difficult to thrive and feel happy. I work hard to provide a safe space for my clients, whether you're suffering from challenging trauma responses, pulling your hair out trying to care for your children, struggling in your relationships, or just need a safe place to be able to express yourself.

I use Imago Relationship Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help my clients find the healing they are looking for.
There is nothing more painful than being in a relationship, but feeling totally alone. “It shouldn’t be this way” you tell yourself. You’re lonely, and it scares you. You never saw the relationship going this way. You used to be really happy. Really in love. Somewhere a long the way, things changed. You find yourself thinking, “How did we get here?” Relationships are hard. I know it may feel hopeless that things will ever be the same. I help couples and individuals whose past experiences with trauma, infidelity, childhood wounds, and sexual issues prevent them from having the fulfilled and satisfying relationships they long for.

Along with talk therapy, I use two bottom-up approaches, Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Internal Family Systems (parts work).
In life, we often feel overwhelmed, depleted, and in need of support. Maybe it is a struggle with anxiety or depression, a negative belief, an addiction or perhaps you have been hit by a marital betrayal or loss of connection. No matter the cause, therapy can be a means to hope and healing. According to Dr. Peter Levine, “Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering”. He describes trauma as “anything that is too much or comes too fast” or is hard on your body physically or emotionally. I believe we all have the ability to heal, grow, and transform.

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.
