Bravery is not a quality of the body. It is of the soul... Mahatma Ghandi. I believe that we all need a helping hand from time to time and that the human soul is tenacious as we move through the human experience. The work I have shared with individuals throughout the years has been awe inspiring and rewarding. My career has allowed me to work with addictions, crisis, trauma, mental health, family systems, grief and loss, the elderly, anger, the military, negative thought patterns and emotional dysregulation. My goal for our work will always be your personal success, self-fulfillment, and sense of well being.

The way we think and the beliefs we have taken on about ourselves and the world impact our lives daily. Learning to challenge those negative thoughts and breakdown belief patterns learned through life circumstances or trauma response can be a difficult practice to put in place.

ADULT AGE FEMALE ONLY COUNSELOR I see my role in the counseling process as that of a "change agent". Someone who is meeting you at possibly one of the worst times in your life and saying "I'm willing to walk with you through this journey". My desire is to help women who are tired of living a life that no longer works for them. Often stressful life events, such as relationship challenges, job problems, health issues, or coping difficulties can trigger suffering and the need for support.

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.
