When the relationship is unhealthy, it can spread to our work-life, family-life, spiritual-life, and beyond.
I am currently taking new individuals and couples and this can be your first step to healthy! The ability to create meaningful relationships in our lives is one of the most important skills anyone can possess, yet so often, we find ourselves struggling to connect deeply because of our past or present experiences. It brings me joy every time I see an individual or couple work through those issues to connect, heal, and move forward in a more satisfying relationship.

This can include difficulty pursuing relationships, coping with existing relationships that are complicated, grief when a relationship ends, family discord, friendship problems, loneliness, and struggle coping with workplace issues.
Saturday appointments Available. Welcome. If you are thinking about trying out counseling, but there is a part of you that is shocked that you would ever think about scheduling a counseling appointment, then you will fit right in with the work that I do. Even though I love all things that are self-help focused, I can understand how that initial appointment to speak with a counselor about those concerns can seem scary and just not something you ever thought you would do. My favorite part of therapy is when there is that moment that people realize that counseling is not actually scary and that they actually like it.

I have post graduate training at the Doctoral level in both Marriage and Family Therapy, and Individual Psychotherapy.
It is understandable when life becomes difficult. It takes courage to step out and look for a new set of answers. Sometimes it's a stressor from our family, a trauma from just living life, or serving our country in the military. The challenge to cope can be extremely painful, as it commonly is, with Depression, Anxiety, loss, or events like abandonment or grief. Understanding means listening, grasping a problem, formulating a trust in judgment, and assisting a person or family in forming a plan that can keep you moving forward with your life.

My approach is also informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Imago Relationship Theory, and Attachment Theory.
If life has dealt you and/or your relationship some difficult circumstances and you've survived but walked away with wounds that aren't healing the way you'd like, therapy is a great option for you. If the thought of healing, feeling whole and at peace within yourself and in your relationships, leaves you with a lump in your throat or a mixture of hope and doubt, it might be time to look for an advocate to walk alongside you as you revisit your history to make a way for a better future. When you realize that you want more for yourself and your relationships, call me, and let's do this it together.

Your mind is a racing machine that you can't seem to turn off! Scary and bothersome thoughts keep popping in your mind! You try to block them but they keep comping back. You can't be fully present or really enjoy yourself because they are so loud so often! Simple tasks now take forever because you battle the urge to check or repeat things over and over. You are embarrassed that people may think you're weird! But they just don't understand what it's like to think things you don't want to think and do things you know don't always make sense. You just want the thoughts and worries to stop so you can feel like yourself again.

Life can become very challenging at any given point and time in our lives. Depression, anxiety, anger/irritability, mood/behavioral changes, abuse of substances and exposure to trauma create fallacies that life will remain unmanageable for children and adults. In my 10+ years of experience, I recognize the strength in talking to someone about your challenges in order to begin the healing process. Are you struggling to manage your child's behavior? Are you struggling to manage your own emotions as an adult? Together we can identify solutions for overcoming trauma, hurts and disappointments which prevents us from moving forward.

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.
