As someone who has reclaimed the balance of family, life, and meaningful relationships in the face of adversity, I understand the intricacies of cultivating a harmonious lifestyle.
Has the effort to attain balance shifted lately? Are you seeking clarity, reassurance, direction? Perhaps the dynamics in your relationships have changed, and you desire to know what that means. If you are in search of a collaborative journey that introduces hope to doubt, while shifting assumptions into curiosities, you have come to the right place!

Though I still use many traditional means (including trauma techniques), I also incorporate my own philosophies in relation to the specific needs of the individual, family, or group.
I've been involved in the behavioral health field over 25 years working with children and adults. In that time, I have become acquainted with numerous types of treatment. I've seen many positive responses to these techniques, but have also heard clients state how the reality of their lives did not always fit the mold of some approaches. This "fitting a square peg into a round hole" has been an issue for some clients in previous treatment. Though issues people experience can be common to others, they are also specific to the individual. This makes more generalized treatments difficult.

As a marital and family therapist I strive to enhance your relationships, including the one with yourself.
I have some day time openings. Taking the first step in the journey of therapy takes courage. Life can be full of stress. The stress and anxiety is often more than we can deal with on our own. You're worried, tired, and feeling isolated. Your relationships aren't what you would like them to be. I provide acceptance, support, nurturance and hope for the future. I use a strength based approach. My goal is for therapy to be an inviting, calm and safe place where we can work together to create positive changes in your life resulting in healthy coping skills, peace, and improved relationships

Your story matters! I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Life is too short to let negative thoughts, anxiety and past experiences affect who you are today. You are not alone and I'm hopeful that together we can free you of any emotional pain, develop skills to appreciate your self worth and build healthy relationships to find meaning and purpose in life. You matter to me! Since everyone's story is unique, we will utilize different therapeutic approaches that work best for you. Some common approaches to be considered are CBT, mindfulness, strength based and empowerment.

When my husband and I were having marital issues, we tried three therapists, none of whom helped us very much. In fact, over all, they made things worse. It occurred to me that I might be able to do this better. I wanted a therapist who wouldn’t take sides--someone who would work to understand my point of view as well as my husband’s point of view--someone who would be empathetic and compassionate. I wanted someone who would care about both of us, and, give us hope. These are among the reasons that I became a therapist.

I use a variety of modalities which are client focused based on individual needs and desires. I believe in an awareness and action approach to change. Therapy as a space for awareness, understanding and release, and outside of therapy- a place to practice what is learned until confidence in self processing is achieved.

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.
