If you feel stuck, misunderstood, overwhelmed or not the best version of yourself hopefully we can get you on a path towards peace soon. I have both personal & clinical experience in grief, trauma, anxiety and depression. Transitions I help clients work through include; break up/divorce, medical issues, civilian life, parenthood, retirement, family changes, loss of loved one, career changes, abuse, or past traumas. I treat both clients who want quick results with goal directed therapy or collaborate with clients who are seeking a more long term in-depth relationship using a trauma informed lens.

Whether individual, couple or family - I believe that therapy is a way to get to know yourself better; to see what is working (your strengths) and what is not – and to do this with a guide who can encourage you, challenge you and help you to overcome the roadblocks along the path to self-discovery and growth.
I have spent 30 years helping individuals, couples and families address issues of substance abuse, co-dependency, adult children of substance abuse as well as the many life issues that contributed to these problems. As an expert in these areas, I love nothing more than helping others with these challenges. There is so much more to addiction and recovery than just not using. And even if a person has never used, just being in a dysfunctional family can lead to a lifetime of problems. I recognize the courage needed to reach out for help – and I know that it is worth the risk.

Ever have the feeling as if you are just going through the motions of your life, or waiting for the day to be over so you can go to sleep, just to wake up and do it all over again? Are you tired of the "hamster wheel" constantly spinning, wondering how on earth you are supposed to incorporate "self-care" along with everything else you are responsible for? As women, we have so many pressures and expectations placed on us that are often unrealistic. This leads to burn out and feels like we are living our lives for everyone else except ourselves.

My family centered approach to treatment identifies the strengths of each family member and uses them to conquer the challenges being presented.
When you look at your child, you see strength and potential within them; but big emotions or challenging behaviors can cause you to lose sight of those positives, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and searching for answers. Children are complex, perceptive beings who know and understand more than we give them credit for, but they aren't always the best communicators, especially when it comes to their emotions. Thankfully, there is hope! Taking the time to understand your child's perspective and experience will help you connect with them on a deeper level, setting the foundation for healthy and strong relationships for life.

I use family systems concepts to illuminate and improve relational patterns.
Have you "disappeared" in order to be in a relationship? Do you feel "selfish" considering your own needs and wants? Would you like to stand up for yourself AND still be in relationship? Is the phrase, "I matter, too," one you want to believe? If so, the time has come to create effective ways to move into relationship with Self and Others. The truth is that each of us matters equally. When we live from a place of mutual importance, we honor boundaries, make decisions for ourselves, and are responsible for the only person we can truly manage, our self.

“There's a complete breakdown in communication.” Relationships are often a union of opposites. Family backgrounds and life philosophies are different. So, it’s no surprise that conflicts arise. When it comes to how we handle that conflict, one partner wants to brush it under the rug and hopes it passes, while the other wants to come at it head-on. If we are not careful, resentment emerges. Couples therapy builds a better relationship for BOTH of you. Improving communication, parenting, trust, intimacy, and conflict management will make your relationship more satisfying.

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.
