Finding the right counselor is essential to your success in treatment. Using creativity, compassion, and commitment, I will meet you where you are and help you get to where you would like to be. In addition to traditional talk therapy I use a variety of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques such as meditation and hypnotherapy. Counseling can be an intimidating experience and the decision to seek counseling is a courageous one. Whether you are having difficulty with adjustment issues or recovering from a traumatic experience, your treatment will be specific to you and specialized for your individual needs.

I'm a PhD level registered/board-certified art therapist (AT). Along with AT, I use Photo Therapy, play, sand tray, bilateral & sensory techniques. Words alone aren't enough to express what is felt. We have emotion, body & mind memories when individuals are faced with the complex issues of grief, violence, abuse, neglect or coping with a disability. That is why AT needs to become an integral part of the treatment. Art therapy gives you a voice to express a wide range of emotions/experiences & helps you work through conflicts & traumas. (Any age or issues. NO ART SKILLS NEEDED. )

We all face challenges in our relationships and in our lives. While many of these challenges can be dealt with on our own, there are times when we need the professional assistance of a guide, a counselor, or a coach to help us learn the skills and tools necessary to overcome the challenges we face and move forward in life with confidence and optimism. As a professional counselor and guide, I believe in your potential for self-discovery. As you consciously make an effort to experience what makes you unique, you'll become aware of your personal power and learn to create the positive, life-altering transformations you seek!

Most folks seek professional help in a time of crisis. My initial goal is to help to manage your overwhelming feelings regarding the situation you find yourself in. In many cases, helping you to recognize you may already have the skills to cope and showing you how to access those skills may be enough. Other times, after the crisis has subsided, you may become aware of recurrent patterns resulting in upsetting feelings. I am available to work with those looking for short term interventions, as well as those who want to address problems they have struggled with most of there lives.

So much of who we are is established early on within our family systems.
I work with people who face challenges that often arise but are not exclusive to the second half of life such as: the trauma of illness & death, caring for aging parents, loss of satisfaction or sense of meaning in relationships and work, loss of a job, and/or loneliness. I also work with folks suffering from love addiction or love avoidance. These challenges can often be baffling and carry symptoms such as depression, fear and anxiety. The rational mind may understand what is going on but somehow the emotional and physical body can't always take solace in rational solutions.

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.
