I look forward to helping you or your family obtain personal goals.
In my practice it is a belief that each person possesses individual core strengths and resiliency to promote change for problematic issues. I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth for a better future. As a previous elementary educator, I have found that combining techniques learned in the classroom as well as time spent as a therapist have allowed me to gain valuable knowledge to help the whole person.

I offer individual and relational therapy for all people, all relationships, and all genders. I also offer supervision for MFT and LPC candidates who are pre-licensed. It can be difficult to make that initial step and reach out. I believe you are more capable, intelligent, determined, and stronger than you may know. Sometimes we need an open, safe, effective, and accepting environment to access and fully explore all that we are capable of.

You're probably looking for a therapist--right? You could be feeling confused, anxious, or overwhelmed; even scared, angry or depressed. Possibly you have relationship or addiction issues. Maybe you have been deployed by the military, experienced a significant loss, or have chronic pain. These concerns can be caused or aggravated by trauma. Perhaps, you have been traumatized by violence, an accident, sexual assault, or witnessed a death. I have 20+ years experience counseling people with these issues as well as expertise in trauma resolution. If you have any of these concerns, call me. We will probably make a good fit.

I specialize in adults and teens with trauma with a specific focus on Complex PTSD. I also work with couples suffering from intimacy issues. I work with individuals suffering from anxiety and depression as well. My approach to therapy is to be honest and forward while promoting this in my clients. I believe a non-judgmental environment is very important. My clients like that I am blunt and confrontational in therapy, avoiding trite therapy terms and tailoring sessions to clients' specific needs. I use many different techniques and theories in my practice, though I tend to stay myself in session to remain real and honest.

Unlovable. Unworthy. Not Good Enough. Out of Control. Exhausted. You look vibrant & happy from the outside, but really you’re just wanting to be accepted by others. The perfectionist part of you never gets the love from others that its always wanted. Fear of conflict makes it hard to say no. Why not just take on the blame for what others have done? At least you won't lose someone.. again. Disconnected from the present. Stuck in thoughts about the past or fears of the future. Haunted and wounded by words and memories. You have a dream for the future, but you're feeling trapped and unable to move forward. Ready to re-write the story?

You are pushing through every day, holding on to the last thread of hope that you have. You feel unworthy, unloved, unseen, and unheard. Even when the person you love most is around you, you still feel alone. You isolate yourself in times of stress and try to find resolve in your isolation, but you end up feeling even more lonely. You try to find distractions to keep your thoughts from building, but the distractions don't work. Things keep building up under the surface and the pressure almost feels like it is too much. You feel like you are about to break. Are you ready to make a change and allow yourself the peace that you deserve?

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.
