I provide mediation in family matters of custody, parenting time, and divorce.
You have choices, and sometimes all the choices suck. They just do. I help you find your way through the choices. I believe you matter, and your feelings matter. You don't matter more than anyone else, but you certainly don't matter less! I work hard to understand what you're experiencing.

Many clients come with relationship, family and/or work and career issues and express feelings of depression, anxiety or "stuckness" about where they are in their lives.

I am compassionate and caring, and I invite my clients to see the best in themselves and in others. I use an integrative approach drawing upon my training in family systems and cognitive/behavioral therapies, selecting what will be most helpful for each individual, couple or family.

I have a bachelor's degree in Counseling and Sociology from Grace College and a Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from Indiana University.
I believe that treatment is most helpful when provided in a safe environment that is free of judgments and filled with compassion and respect. I believe the majority of our troubles stem from our upbringing and the relationships we've had in our life, past and present. In order to heal, it is necessary to explore this. This will take time and will be difficult. We will learn coping skills along the way to manage life's ups and downs in a healthy way.

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.
