"Healing comes when we choose to walk away from darkness and move towards a brighter light." Dieter F. Uchtdorf's words echo the message I try to share with each of my clients. I work from a strengths-based perspective and believe each individual possesses unique skills and abilities to overcome struggles. I strive to create an environment of safety, allowing individuals to explore difficult issues by shining light on the situation and helping each person connect with their truth.

Having done my own counseling I know that it is important to find the right fit. I have been a therapist/counselor since 1992 when I began my training at Purdue University. I specialize in marriage/
family therapy
, addiction, anger management, and sexual issues. I have 25+ years of experience treating sexual addiction. My overall goal is to "work myself out of a job" by empowering clients to work through core issues, gain needed insights and tools, and make behavioral changes which allow for more success and fulfillment both personally and professionally. I strive to create a safe space and give hope and direction from the start.

The focus of my practice is to create a safe and accepting space for individuals and families to work through life's challenges and strengthen resiliency skills. We may not have control over all of our circumstances but we each have the capacity to develop healthy skills to cope with adversity. I believe healthy attachments are a critical part of healing, particularly with children and adolescents. Therefore, I take a
family
systems approach when working with youth. I'm trained and experienced in working with female survivors of intimate partner violence and use trauma-focused approaches in their journey to healing.

Family
Origin issues, Self-Esteem, Grief, and many others. My ideal client is someone who is willing to be a co-creator in their journey. Someone who is willing to do the work as an investment in themselves. I want to encourage my client to be the validation that they are seeking in others. With Trust as a key component, you will build trust in yourself and in turn within others. This allows us to cultivate long-lasting and meaningful relationships.

Counselor, LAC

Addiction is a
family
disease; meaning it doesn’t only affect the one individual with the addiction, the other
family
members feel the shockwaves too. My
family
continues to feel the impact of losing our son 11 years ago, so it is meaningful to me to help others avoid that struggle. I am honored to be able to combine my personal experience with the clinical background to enable families to better support the recovery of their loved ones. I am equally devoted to helping individuals with their recovery and personal growth journeys.

I specialize in childhood relational trauma (developmental trauma,
family
of origin issues).
I'd like to help you explore the root causes of your suffering and move toward lasting relief. Do you want a deeper understanding of the core issues underlying your relationship problems, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, substance use, or other issues? Are you curious about how early life experiences may be driving your current problems? Our early wounds are often obvious, like abuse, neglect, or abandonment. But some hurts are more subtle. Even when we have a so-called "happy childhood," we may still go through a lot of "less-than-nurturing" experiences that have a profound impact on our emotional lives as adults.

I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and basic training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) Level One, Gottman Level One, and Internal
Family
Systems (IFS).
My deepest desire as a therapist is to support my clients in their journey to a more authentic, fulfilling, and hope-filled life. Throughout life, we often find ourselves stuck and uncertain of how to begin again. We may find ourselves struggling to connect with others or unsure of how to take those vulnerable risks needed to thrive. Whatever the sources of these stumbling blocks—childhood trauma, relational wounds, abuse—confronting them is daunting. Confronting them alone can be impossible. I am inspired by the courage taken by those who seek support to better themselves.

, friends, dating, partner, or spouse. Aubrey works with you to find the most effective techniques and skills to support in facing challenges and finding relief.

As a marriage and
family therapist
, I am passionate about driving positive outcomes for my clients with a unique approach to mental health through biological, psychological, social, and spiritual lenses.
Has life become so challenging that you ask yourself, “Will it ever get easier?” As we journey down the road of life, we will run into bumps, make wrong turns, and even get into wrecks. When that happens, we need guidance to get back to being our happiest, healthiest selves. Whether you’re facing the stress from common life-cycle transitions (e.g., beginning a new career, facing a big move, etc.), experiencing a loss of “spark” in your relationship, noticing a breakdown in communication with
family
members, or facing the psychological and biological comorbidity of chronic illness, I am here to help you navigate the road ahead.

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.
