It has become an excellent therapeutic method when delving into family and personal relationships, PTSD, autism, & behavioral issues.
My diverse background and down to earth nature is a key element in my counseling style. I believe that for counseling to be most effective it must be done in an environment that is comfortable to my clients. If I can find a "medium" that they can relax in, they are more open about sharing their experiences with me". My counseling expertise is working with clients of domestic violence, sexual assault, recovery, PTSD, anxiety disorders, foster families/children, adjustment disorders and LGBT community. I am trained in EMDR, Brain Spotting and Experiential modes of therapy which I combine with other traditional modes of therapy.

One simple way to describe life is that it can be incredibly hard. Even in the best, most beautiful moments and more often in the darkest of times, it can be complicated, difficult, and challenging to navigate. At each chapter in our lives we are faced with new experiences, new emotions, and new possibilities that we have never been through before. And there’s no one way, fix-it-all solution, to get us through it. We simply try to figure it out as we go. If you're here reading this, this is your reminder that most people often need; you are not alone and do not have to walk this path on your own. We can figure it out together!

We all face challenges in our lives and the way that we make sense of those challenges is unique to each person. Although none of us are exempt from challenges, I have found that there are often choices regarding how we can cope with difficulties in our lives. Therapy provides an opportunity for growth, learning new coping skills, managing emotions in a healthy manner, and more importantly, for you to be heard as an individual.

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.
