I opened Edmond Child & Family Counseling in Murrieta in May of 2013.
I have considerable experience and expertise working with parents, children, adolescents and families in crisis that may have specific issues related to separated/divorced parents, adoptive, foster and blended families. I especially enjoy collaborating with parents to bring out the best in their children and the parent-child relationship. In addition, I provide couples and individual counseling for those dealing with communication difficulties, anger management issues, loss, trauma, abuse, developmental issues and those with chronic psychiatric conditions.

Therapy can be a difficult decision to make and it can get worse before it gets better. It is hard to examine with someone you don’t really know, private, deep and personal things about you, your relationships; your marriage and your family. You may be dealing with trauma that was completely out of your control, or trying to manage a choice you made that inflicted so much pain onto others and yourself, or trying to wrap your mind on who you are now, but want to be better, however you don't know how to get there. Whatever struggles you are facing in your life, I hope that you seek therapy, no one can do this alone.

I help partners and family members rebuild safety and trust, create a caring connection, and resolve conflict with love and respect.
Couples, Men, Veterans, and Families. I strive to make therapy a comfortable place where you can explore the deepest insights about yourself with compassion and empathy. Therapy becomes an experience and journey about who YOU are and where YOU want to go. Is something standing in the way? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns or plagued by underlying issues? Sometimes we feel frustrated and hurt by those we so want to feel close to. You are not alone in the possible fears that might come along with seeking help. It's vulnerable. It can feel scary. Let me take that step with you to Keep Moving Forward.

Most everything we learn about how to do life and relationship comes from our family of origin, both nature and nurture.
For many life can be one of two things, either you feel like you are never enough so why try or you feel like you have to always keep pushing and keep going never able to relax. If never enough, you have tried everything to pull yourself out and people are quick to tell you how, so you put on a smile to hide it. On the other, you pride yourself on how much you accomplish but feel less than when you slow. Maybe you are struggling in a relationship and ready to learn how to not only have healthier relationship-building boundaries but also interested in learning out how to draw closer through empathetic attunement.

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.
