Specialty areas include: anger management, anxiety, career choices, depression, divorce, family conflict, grief and loss, academic counseling, self esteem, and stress.
Counseling is about working together in a nonjudgmental and caring environment to meet your goals, bring balance back into your life, and help you harness your own abilities in the healing process. I believe in empowering you to lead and guide your own personal growth within an accepting and trusting counseling relationship. I understand that every person is an individual, with specific emotional issues, life views and wants. I focus on how you are experiencing life in the present moment and what we can do together to provide self exploration, self understanding, and an avenue of balance along your life path.

You do not need the cooperation of others to make improvements in your marriage or family, so it is useful to come alone.
Life has a tendency to throw unexpected situations, problems, and experiences at us. During these times, it is wise to seek guidance for our personal lives, marriages, families, and professional situations. Together, we will examine your current life situation, what is achievable, and how to move forward. Characteristics of narcissism, controlling behaviors, and problematic situations can affect one's mental health significantly. I work both with the person who struggles with these problems as well as those who are in relationships with that person. I work with individuals, couples, and families.

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.
