Family Therapy in 97128
My approach weaves together interventions from evidence based practices, like Internal Family Systems and Nonviolent Communication.
My clients are often those keenly aware of the complex time we live in, and are interested to understand what is keeping them from having the vibrant life they seek. You are doing "all the right things," and yet you continue to feel unfulfilled, anxious - in your relationships, sex life, in your work. You might feel stuck creatively. You feel distant, or at odds with your physical body. You'd like to know your story more fully, to understand how past experiences and cultural conditioning have impacted you, and to give your story voice, so you can express yourself - in relationships, work, art - from a place of deeper authenticity.

Life feels really tough right now (to be honest, maybe it's been tough for a while) and nothing you've tried seems to make a difference. Maybe your relationship with a partner, family member or friend has gone off track, leaving you feeling hurt, misunderstood or alone. Maybe your relationship with yourself is struggling, weighted by negative thoughts and difficult feelings that don't accurately reflect who you are or who you want to be. You're not feeling like your best self, and you're ready to make a change.

Life is hard. There is no question about that. Between family/relational stresses, work, finances, faith, hobbies and larger global worries, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, turn to substances to cope and not know how to move forward. Are you a Christian who would like your faith, prayer and Biblical principles integrated into your treatment? As a fellow Believer, I look forward to walking with you on that journey. With a background in law enforcement, firefighting and EMS, I deeply enjoy working with first responders as they battle unique obstacles with work/life balance and exposure to trauma.

I am an attachment based, person centered therapist with post graduate training in several areas including trauma informed services, EMDR, collaborative problem solving and Foster and Adoptive Family Therapy.
My experience as an adoptive, foster and biological mom opened my eyes to mental health and I/DD needs as well as the effects of trauma. For 12 years I worked in county mental health serving initially as a skills trainer in homes, schools and the community. For 5 years I was a wraparound care coordinator, which inspired me to pursue my master’s degree in social work. Since 2017 I have provided therapy in both clinic and school settings. I mostly see clients with PTSD, depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties and relational stresses. We address the effects on your total person: biological, psychological, social and spiritual.

My reasoning for becoming a counselor was simple: a family member went through a life-threatening crisis and benefitted tremendously from therapy.
I work with a variety of concerns; trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, abandonment, and others. I use an integrative approach leaning heavily on attachment theory. I have also spent significant time working with children and adolescents with complex trauma and/or abandonment. I believe that people have an inherent resiliency, even if it seems lost for a time and people can often find it within themselves to heal and grow with help when needed. My time with clients is spent looking for the ways in which that healing and growth can be realized.

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.
