We appreciate that our thoughts and emotions are impacted by our biology and our social environment (such as our cultural and family backgrounds, work situation or social relationships).
Emotional health difficulties are like a cold, everyone gets them from time to time. However, if the cold goes on for weeks or keeps on getting worse, you should probably see a healthcare professional. This is true for our emotional health as well. If we want to be healthy, we have to take care of ourselves: body, mind and soul. Psychotherapy is medical treatment and care intended to relieve or heal the soul. It is a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, healing and wholeness. I have 20 years of experience supporting and guiding clients in a variety of areas including mental health, health care, disability and family services.

It is an honor to journey with another person, couple, or family as they navigate through the hurts, confusion, obstacles, and pain we experience in life.
Life is too difficult of a journey to navigate alone. We all need trusted people to help us navigate the ups, the downs, and the winding road we travel in life. I believe that while on your journey through life, having an available, trusted guide to come alongside you, to point you toward truth, to listen with compassion, and to empower you to live the most full and free version of life that you were meant to live is vital. I love having the opportunity to come alongside people who are struggling with life or relationships and help them discover the hope and healing that is available to them.

I imagine that the path that brought you here has not been an easy one. I am here to walk along side you on this journey, aiming to create a place for curiosity and empathy, that is free from judgement. My hope is that in our work together, you are able to grow in ways that you may not have previously expected. Sometimes therapy is direct, as with DBT, other times therapy takes a more indirect approach as I create space for us to sit with and explore the unknown. Together we can create a plan to help you live life more fully, presently, and mindfully.

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.
