Difficulties with stress that comes with pending deployment to not only the military personnel but their families as well as family reunification when our soldiers return home.
Taking the first step to seek out a therapist can be overwhelming and in fact pretty scary. ARE you looking for a supportive environment in order to achieve a sense of wellness and the strength to move forward living life? Are you feeling depressed, angry all the time, stuck or loss in transitions of life, have experienced a death OR a divorce and ready to start working on you? I have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief and loss and with individuals that abuse substances and gambling.

I utilize EMDR, Internal Family Systems, EFT, and other trauma focused modalities to heal and release the past.
Are you in need of healing from past traumas and old patterns that are keeping you from experiencing the life you deserve? I believe inside all of us there is an unharmable part that is our true-self. I see myself as a guide in the healing process, directing you back to your true-self, that often gets buried under cultural conditioning, other’s opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a child that became an unconscious belief system. I specialize in healing trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy helping my clients regain a sense of empowerment by healing the past, allowing for an abundant and fulfilling future.

With 19 years of experience working with a variety if issues and concerns such as, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, family issues, divorce and sexual abuse.
Therapy is a very personal process, which can be conducted in many different ways. Therapy is a learned process in which you come to better understand yourself and your relationships so that you may learn to handle situations more successfully. As a therapist, I believe my role is to help you develop the ability to skillfully address life issues rather than simply give you advice or tell you what to do, but to assist you in clarifying thoughts, feelings, goals and ideas. I believe our work will help you develop skills you can continue to use in the future.

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.
