Licensed Associate Counselor, MA, LAC

My therapy style is influenced largely by client-centered, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), trauma therapy, attachment based therapy, IFS (Internal
Family
Systems), and faith based counseling.
I have experience working with individuals, families, adolescents, and ran an adolescent girl's group to teach emotional regulation skills, setting boundaries, and increasing self-esteem and confidence. I fell in love with counseling after experiencing personal life challenges that led me to receive counseling for myself and for my children. I strive to help other individuals take back their lives in the midst of chaos. My role as your therapist is to help you process life experiences in a nonjudgemental, compassionate, and safe environment.

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.
