I believe my early work in addictions helped to prepare me for this work and integrates very well with women's issues, grief, trauma and family systems work.
An ideal client would be someone who has possibly done some therapy work in the past, and still feels stuck in the area of relationships, addictions, trauma, grief or loss or someone who has never been to therapy previously. There are many places to get stuck in life, I find it interesting to find ways out of that place.

She specializes in individual and family therapy with children, adolescents, and adults.
Everyone is different and I have found over the years that people find many ways to cope. I work to help you cultivate those skills that are working and provide additional skills to help with healthy coping while providing opportunities to work through current and past life stressors in a non-biased or judgmental way. Focusing on these strategies consistently helps people start feeling better and less stressed. My goal is for you to find how therapy can help you feel better, with the added support and sense of not needing to do your journey all on your own.

When a person is faced with life stressors, it can be hard to know how to "act" or "present themselves." An ideal client is one who recognizes that something is not right and takes the first step in seeking help. That is the most difficult part. They recognize the way they are feeling is not how they want or need to feel. It takes courage to ask for help and I understand the process of finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I am proud of you for taking the first steps towards a positive change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you through your journey.

Fargo, ND 58104
My name is Allen and I want to thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, or feeling connected to others I would like to help. Many of my clients come to me because they no longer want to feel the way they do and simply want to feel better, have less anxiety, and to be confident to live the life they want. Some seek me out to utilize EMDR as a way to overcome their struggles. No matter what you may be struggling with, A2Z is here to help you through those struggles. Give me a call and leaving a voicemail will ensure a return call, as I may be with another client.

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.
