I welcome people from different backgrounds and political leanings, unique religious or spiritual beliefs, all kinds of relationship dynamics/combinations, stressful careers, and traumatic experiences. The types that have learned how to “fake it till you make it”. The survivor living off of caffeine and sheer determination. The tired, overlooked and underappreciated human being still carrying the baggage of their last relationship, tough childhood or draining job. Fighters who have lost their spark, but are somehow able to keep everyone else’s flame burning. I see you struggling… silently slipping below the surface. I want to help.

Meeting someone new maybe anxiety provoking, but starting therapy? That is truly a daunting task! You’ve made the first step by recognizing that maybe you should talk to someone. Now, all of these bios sound about the same. Which one to pick? How do you know which one will help you the most? You may be thinking, “oh, forget it, I just can’t make that decision right now.” Or, “I don’t want to sit for an hour and cry while I tell a total stranger my life’s story.” Or, “what if someone finds out that I’m not perfect. What if this person thinks I’m crazy and wants to lock me away forever?“ …

Let's see what's not quite right, then, most importantly, what does better look like. Most of my clients want to look forward, not backward- seems reasonable. Some situations are harder than others to turn around but let's get started. More good- Less bad.

As an existential behavioral health psychologist, who predominantly works in cancer care and with those facing existential-spiritual (life-transitional) crises, the client most attracted to my services would be someone who is interested in finding meaning & purpose in Life through their struggles. Depression and anxiety are symptoms of a greater bio-psycho-spiritual challenge. By exploring the particular life-transitional stressors (such as facing cancer or another life crisis), that trigger anxiety or sadness, we then delve into patterns of 'stuckness' that help liberate clients to be free to be their true authentic selves.

I believe that each of us is a multi-talented, multi-faceted, creative being of pure light and infinite potential! This being true, I know many of us have forgotten this long ago. I did! In forgetting who we truly are, we find ourselves trapped in limitation, living a life we do not really want but hoping it will one-day payoff. A life of depression, shame, and anxiety is the payoff most settle for. Well, I believe there is no payoff to settling. It never feels settled. If you know you need help but your schedule is unpredictable or just cannot find the help you need in your area, Freedom360 is the online solution for you!

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.
