I utilize a mix of mindfulness-based CBT, psychodynamic, family systems, and EMDR to help adolescents, adults, and couples with such issues as anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, relationship and marital issues, and trauma.
I believe that as human beings, our being matters more than our doing. I help people foster peace with themselves apart from anything they could ever accomplish or do. I also believe that we are all made to be in relationship with one another. Relationships are where we learn love, comfort, encouragement, joy, and hope. Alternately, they are also where we experience pain, abuse, abandonment, and rejection. It is my desire that my clients are able to reflect on the pain of their past with peace and hope and are able to have healthy and joy-filled relationships with others.

My preferred modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, grief therapy, trauma-informed care, and family relational matters.
Becoming a therapist has been my dream since I entered high school. Growing up within my family, I am known as the person everyone can go to with their issues, challenges, and struggles. The struggles, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-doubt we face with a therapeutic relationship can help bring healing and growth in those areas. My concern is to help families and individuals who feel drained and emotionally down have the support and help to bring them back to a stage of happiness and peace.

My training involves the study of not only the individual, but also the systems within which the individual functions, such as the family and society.
I have a healthy respect for the difficulties and complexities of life and will provide a non-judgemental environment for individuals or couples to explore solutions to the problems they face. The most common issues I work with are depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship problems. I like to look at what is working in a person's life and to promote wellness, as opposed to focusing on pathology or sickness. I find that once an individual focuses on specific goals, it does not take a long time to make significant movement in a positive direction.

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.
