Sometimes, life just feels hard. The good news is . . .everyone feels that way at times and there are ways to learn how to manage the hard.

By focusing on the strengths of the child and family we are able to work through the struggles.
Raising children is the hardest and most rewarding job you will ever have. When a child has experienced trauma, transition or is struggling with another concern, it is even more difficult. I work with children and their families to help them integrate their unique experiences in the world. There is hope, help and support for children who are struggling with; trauma, grief/loss, transitions, ADHD, anxiety, defiance, depression, and worry. I believe in the power of play and the ability of children and families to grow towards health and healing.

Life can be difficult. Counseling shouldn’t be. When you’re struggling to cope with symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, addiction, relationship stress, or family problems in your life, starting therapy is a courageous step toward change. If you are feeling out of balance or in distress, it can feel defeating to reach out for help and be met with unreturned calls, waitlists, or therapists who are not taking new clients. Not addressing your issues with a professional can often lead to increased symptoms while you wait for your first appointment. We see children, teens, adults, families, and couples.

I am licensed in Indiana, New Hampshire and Kansas.. For the past 20 years, my clinical focus has been helping people ages 10 and up who have identified depression, anxiety, life transitions and family issues as sources of stress that they wish to work through. My clients come to me to reduce/eliminate their symptoms and regain their own definition of ideal functioning. Though, I am known in my community for working with adolescents/teens which I am passionate about, a significant portion of my caseload consists of adults and families who I am equally dedicated to.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss.
I believe people can change, because I see it daily with my clients. I believe it because I lost over 130 pounds. My specialties include couples counseling, grief and loss, and trauma. I also have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. I know therapy can feel intimidating. Before becoming a therapist, I was a client and worked with a therapist on ways to improve my quality of life. This experience taught me what clients need. I know that the client/therapist relationship is the most important aspect of treatment. The better the relationship, the more healing that occurs.

Life can be difficult at times but seeking counseling should not be. I know that finding a provider who can see your child can be a challenge and that often times waitlists are long. I see children as young as 8 years old and know that children require specific attention and care when it comes to counseling. I make sure to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each child and support family involvement in their care. By understanding each child's individual experiences and emotions I am able to provide the support and guidance they need to navigate through challenging situations.

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.
