As part of Chenal Family Therapy PLC, I consult with our team of therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered.
I believe each person has the resiliency and innate strength to heal from traumas in their life journey. My education, work experience and trainings have focused on helping individuals who have experienced trauma in many forms. I've work with families and individuals from birth through adulthood. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in the LGBTQIA+ community. My background working with children and caregivers in the hospital setting has given me a unique opportunity to work with various medical conditions and extensive healthcare trauma.

Hello! This message isn't written by AI! This is ME, an experienced therapist who cares. Since covid our society has shifted into a high tech world, texts/Instagram/twitter has dominated. TALKING with one another? No way! The result? An epidemic OF loneliness, anxiety, depression, infidelity, & suicide. Drug use/meds (legal & not) has shot out the roof. Marital distress & divorce rates are alarming; suicide also. Social phobia is rampant among ALL ages. Rising cost of living and $ problems add to the distress. We can get overwhelmed/angry. Who we ARE & our core values can get lost without effective communication.

My aim is to not just make hope attainable, but a lived experience for those I encounter. I'm all too familiar with the crossroads between recovering from life's mishaps and putting up walls to make sure you're not hurt like that again. I've found that we often forget failure and fortune are regular occurrences in life, and we sometimes underestimate our ability to not just recover, but to live a fulfilling life even with scars. Denying/ignoring the impact of pain is not the answer. Neither is making hopelessness your home. At Vine + Root Counseling, I work with clients to help retrace your hurts to the root cause.

I believe therapy is about growth, healing and relationship. We all carry burdens which weigh on us daily. Some heavier than others. At Mercer Counseling Center, therapy is not approached as a method of "fixing" people. Therapy is viewed as a path which leads to shifts and changes in one's life which can provide more peace, personal growth and healing for both the mind and body. I utilize a systemic approach in order to allow individuals and families to view problematic issues from a larger, more holistic perspective in hopes of capturing more opportunities for change, healing and relationship.

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.
