I specialize in child and family therapy with an emphasis in marriage counseling, but I am open to helping anyone that is looking for a way to improve their lives through understanding their emotions and how those emotions are affecting their behaviors and actions. I have been married for the past 16 years and have 5 children of my own, and I understand the common struggles of maintaining a working relationship with a spouse and with children. I spent 10 years working with the foster care system, and I spent the last 4 years supervising a school counseling program and conducting individual counseling for an array of individuals.

I understand the challenges in building and maintaining healthy family relationships.
I enjoy working with clients in therapy who want to improve their marriage, family, or parenting difficulties. Families are complicated, and as someone who comes from a blended family and has been married for 26 years, I understand that a little support can go a long way. My personal and educational experience helps me connect with clients on a personal level, offering individualized guidance and strategies through the therapy lens. I strive to create a safe and understanding environment in our therapeutic relationship, where individuals or families can openly discuss their challenges and work towards a more harmonious life.

I work with each family to develop goals that meet their needs and help to facilitate growth and development.
I believe in the power of play to help children connect with and express their inner experiences and emotions. Play is a safe space to explore and work through intense feelings, leading to a sense of mastery and the ability to express feelings in a well-regulated way. Because development occurs through warm and supportive relationships, I work to build a meaningful connection with each child and family, meeting them where they are and utilizing areas of strength to work on things that are more difficult and challenging.

Throughout life most of us experience transitions that challenge and transform us. Many of these passages can be navigated more effectively with the knowledge and compassion of an experienced professional. Combining Jungian psychology, family systems, humanistic psychology, modern neuroscience and mindfulness, I bring my full attention and presence to the sacred work of healing mind, body and heart with each client. In addition to traditional therapy, dream-work and creative expressions such as art, poetry, music and dance facilitate healing and growth. Relaxation and meditation techniques assist with grounding and centering.

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.
