If you have done research into different therapists you have probably noticed that therapists can differ widely in their personalities and approach to therapy. I feel that the relationship fostered between myself and my clients is truly to most important aspect in healing and progress. I look to my experiences both in my own life and in my therapeutic work to identify with and build relationships with each client I see. Although the therapeutic process is always focused on the client, some clients feel more comfortable knowing a little bit about their therapist; and because who I am influences my therapeutic work I feel that it can be valuable to share a little about myself. I was born and raised in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I moved to Southern California to attend college at UCI. After graduating college I moved to the South Bay where I fell in love with this welcoming beach community. I am so proud to be a “Minnesotan” at heart and feel that some of my best therapeutic qualities can be attributed to my Midwestern upbringing, but I feel so lucky to have been able to move to California and experience the cultural variety and richness that California has to offer. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. As I mentioned above, I did my undergraduate work in Psychology and Education at University of California, Irvine. Having worked very hard in my undergraduate years, it was important to me to put a lot of thought into my choice of graduate school. I chose the California School of Professional Psychology for my graduate work because I was able to pursue my Masters in Marital and Family Therapy in a program that was developed by the founders of the MFT field. I have 10 years experience in the field and have worked with diverse populations and presenting issues. Please see my Services page for a list of diagnoses and issues I work with. Please feel free to visit my blog That Thing I Said in Session to get a more personal look at my work. https://www.witheefamilytherapy.com/emdr daily 0.75 2021-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618117608922-GIKZE5SJLNWKFM0X8J3N/pexels-julia-volk-5273090.jpg Attachment Focused EMDR - Attachment Focused EMDR Healing trauma, phobias, and negative beliefs in a person centered way https://www.witheefamilytherapy.com/rates-and-payment daily 0.75 2023-08-03 https://www.witheefamilytherapy.com/services daily 0.75 2021-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617984710472-BMVBU06GE6ZPK5JIO2BN/pexels-luizclas-556666.jpg Services - InDividuals Feeling stressed, angry, depressed, or hurt can deprive us of energy, the ability to be available for others, and the ability to operate at our fullest potential. It is at these times that we feel most vulnerable and it becomes difficult to seek help or open up to others. But, it is also at this time that we are truly ready to grow as human beings, and individual therapy can be such a helpful part of that process. It is a fundamental need of each human being to be heard and to feel understood regardless of what issues they are facing. Through individual therapy I can provide you with with time and space to be heard and to work on the issues that are important to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617984919731-7Q2ORJ8PO3E6QQ0R6YAR/pexels-helena-lopes-697244.jpg Services - AdoLescents Adolescence is the time in our lives where we really begin the process of figuring out who we are and who we want to be. With such an intimidating developmental task, it’s no wonder that the teens and parents navigating through this phase often experience difficulties. It can be easy to brush off the issues during this time as your teen “just being a teenager” but this is a time where therapy can have such a positive and lasting impact. I have worked with adolescents and their families on issues that range from simple communication difficulties to complex issues such as self-harm, abuse recovery, and gang intervention. I would be happy to talk with you and your family on how I can help you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617985120287-U6OQRIM5GUKLCHHKL1MB/pexels-skitterphoto-322070.jpg Services - Children We’ve all heard a stories about or seen a child that has been a little too honest about their thoughts and feelings. The beauty of children is that they tend to express their thoughts and feelings regardless of what is happening around them. However, when children begin to have difficulties or experience more trying emotions it can become hard for them to express themselves. This is where a visit to a child therapist can be helpful. I truly enjoy working with children school-aged and younger because they provide such wonderful challenges and such a great opportunity to really make a difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617985247035-NY0X4GTGCQ5E1B28JE6Q/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4473314.jpg Services - Families Family is such an integral part of our existence, whether in its presence or in its absence. It is within the family that we have our first interactions with significant others, learn how to relate to other people, and get our first impressions of the world. Often when something isn’t working as well as it did before, one person in the family begins to show signs or symptoms of the change. Frequently the initial reaction is to refer that person to individual therapy to alleviate their symptoms. I strongly believe however, that frequently these issues can be solved faster and more wholly by addressing the family system. I have years of experience in working with families and have completed training and an extensive externship in Functional Family Therapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617985421247-HQGT57Y9FX8Y1MQYU1FY/pexels-dahlak-tarekegn-2100864.jpg Services - Perinatal Mental Health Most people don’t know that what is commonly described as “postpartum depression” actually begins during pregnancy. In addition, postpartum anxiety is as common, if not more common than postpartum depression. These disorders can greatly impact the already difficult transition to new motherhood, or continued motherhood, for many women. Little discussed is also how the transition into parenthood affects fathers. I understand and I’m here to help. I have been trained and certified by Maternal Mental Health NOW to treat perinatal mental health disorders. https://www.witheefamilytherapy.com/your-first-session daily 0.75 2021-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617143845765-5AYD5Y5191ZML3JC0Q9C/937C06EF-53FF-4CAD-9925-0986A7BB2AAB_1_105_c.jpeg Your First Session https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617143795368-L8WQEX1ZQ3R3IYEUBXX7/8C29F83D-4A82-4F71-87AA-2234DF17ECDA_1_105_c.jpeg Your First Session https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617144228408-AUOV1L4R4AZJQ8IWPFVV/92C93CCC-7D69-4A4C-8882-B5C5654BA704_1_105_c.jpg Your First Session https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617144446619-URQDAJ5Z3CXN2DPER5WB/F9F12C05-ABD5-4615-9618-B76A59D56B3C_1_105_c.jpg Your First Session https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1617144473702-8KP6AGOJCPAG7GD8URLC/5FEE742B-6814-4906-851E-4F92CF33E359_1_105_c.jpeg Your First Session https://www.witheefamilytherapy.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-06-17 https://www.witheefamilytherapy.com/work-with-me daily 0.75 2021-04-11 https://www.witheefamilytherapy.com/murphy daily 0.75 2021-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618374896228-HPJAT9DN0AD9GC39XYN4/8AF882D6-DB8D-428B-ADC8-338B77A6D02B_1_105_c.jpeg Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618374994426-D96ZPGXP5AR8Q4OPU8R9/A8F813F8-7395-44FE-9B1B-30EBF5675446_1_105_c.jpeg Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618375131408-8QF8LND3TTBT7DWUGGMM/F83156B1-262F-463D-A5EA-6D0CA544C4AA_1_105_c.jpeg Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618375153165-W8BN2DV9OVKJWMI7S391/B15BAE96-7813-4276-9D54-727E342E0D44_1_105_c.jpeg Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618375326773-QFSBGRW32NR21DOEMJ90/84240713-F89A-4F83-9D27-321167D9A85B_1_105_c.jpeg Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618375344446-U1KDA5SIOZ5H7R5D7Y9W/DB59F422-CC82-4893-8DDD-CFF8EFB5ADCB_1_105_c.jpeg Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618375369196-QNDQG9C403FD1M6JOSH4/308C40C4-45C8-4E29-8F2A-487B50DC2388_1_105_c.jpeg Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618375380948-5FZMZXC4RAMP0IXDCDJ4/FE18608F-9DCB-409D-8AB5-523555540A03_1_105_c.jpeg Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e06004456477f4b5f7509/1618375398222-458Z6ARF59PBWOJI35B7/5546064E-A161-48E1-A77F-A9CF106F9002_1_105_c.jpeg Murphy
