I am certified in Emotionally Focused Couple and Family Therapy, the ACA “Gold Standard” of relationship therapy.
Therapy is a collaborative process in which we gently explore your history and build on your strengths to create a greater sense of connection to you and your loved ones. I work with young people, individuals, couples, and families using a person-centered, attachment-based, trauma-informed, and multicultural approach. I support clients who have experienced developmental or interpersonal trauma and are working to overcome those symptoms and traumatic patterns to experience a greater connection to themselves and their loved ones.

Counseling is a wonderful tool to gain the support needed to build strong lasting relationship with your family.
Transition is a natural part of life whether a transition from high school to college, getting married or divorced, or changing careers. Both positive and negative transition can bring stress into the family. I work with Adults & Children 7 years and above. As a military combat veteran, I have interacted with cultures around the globe. Assisting active military, veterans, and their families is a passion of mine. Conversely, I have great experience in settings where the average client has not had military experience. I take a direct approach when working with people where you meeting your goals is the focus for the sessions.

Whether you are looking for a warm, fun and compassionate play therapist for your child or support for yourself, I would love the opportunity to see if I am a good fit for you and your family.
Does your child show signs of anxiety, aggression, defiance, low confidence, impulsivity? Are you frustrated that other people just don't seem to get your kid or understand how hard it all feels? Do you feel stuck in caregiving "shoulds" that seem to just leave you all feeling stuck in the same pattern of conflict and dysregulation? I'm here to help. I see myself as a curious and compassionate partner to children and their caregivers as we explore the needs under "problematic" behaviors. In playful and engaging ways, together we learn to meet these challenges with confidence and connection.

It takes courage and commitment to begin the therapy process. It is my hope that through the creation of a safe, non-judgmental space and a collaborative relationship, clients will be able to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Whether its related to relationships, work, family, or even nothing that you can identify at all. As the therapist, I will provide that space and that relationship, as well as insight, skills, knowledge, emotional support, guidance, and encouragement that can lead each person to make the changes he or she is seeking. Ignoring the problem is not the answer even though it seems easier.

) I've worked in various roles in social services and counseling for over 20 years and am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist.
Life is difficult. And for various reasons--pride, fear and procrastination among them--we as humans don't always readily reach out for help. There are many ways to reach out. Some do it through talking to family members or clergy. Some through friends or support groups. And sometimes the problems we are dealing with go away by themselves. But not usually.

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.
