"Over the past few years, the demand for mental health services has increased. The field of mental health, in efforts to meet this demand, has caused the technique of counseling to become commercialized. When I created Harris & Harris my mission was to create a business practice that was ethically driven to get back to the basics of counseling. Customer volume should never be a measurement of success within a business, but providing consistent quality service should always be a measurement standard."

I consider it a joy to work with couples, families, and individuals. It is an honor when people allow me to walk beside them in their journey. I believe that each person has great worth and their stories are as unique as snowflakes. Sitting with people in their distress gives me an unparalleled vantage point from which to watch the healing power of secure attachment in the lives of my clients. Relationships provide a safe harbor for our lives and when they are strained or broken, we feel real pain. My approach provides a proven path back to healthy relationships.

Hurts and pain leave us feeling shattered, injured, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with the constant pain from your past, feeling that you will never be happy or normal. You might not even remember a time when life didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to be happy and move forward without the past haunting or hurting you. You’re ready to have and feel peace in your heart, brain, and body. Most of all, you’re ready to know you are enough and that your future can be full of happiness and joy

I specialize in adult and adolescent mental health struggling with anxiety, anger, depression, behavior disorders, ADHD, Autism, and family services.
I enjoy people and I enjoy helping people. People struggle, it is most often a fact of life. Nobody is immune. Sometimes mental illness affects progression of life and sometimes life causes mental health struggles. Either way, the struggle is real. We get drug down by life, we struggle to solve problems, anger gets in the way, anxiety, depression, problem solving. The constant battle between our brain and emotions can be overwhelming. I like people to feel and see results of their work. My goal in my work and life is to help others find and create changes and joy in their own lives despite the hardships they face.

Hello you! You’re so brave to be seeking out support. What a great gift you’re giving yourself! I know it can be so hard sometimes to figure out how and why you respond to situations the way you do. Or maybe you know why, and you don’t know how to respond differently. Maybe emotions feel scary, and you don’t know how to express them. Maybe you struggle with communicating your needs or boundaries to your family, partner or self. Maybe anxiety or depression or trauma responses are so familiar it feels impossible to exist in a world without them.

Parenting is hard work! Being a child can also be hard work! Both roles come with moments of joy and hope. Both roles also come with frequent change and stress. For children, learning how to balance this mixture of emotions with their experiences can sometimes be challenging and lead to big behaviors. For parents, helping their children cope with big feelings and behaviors can be overwhelming. For others, conceiving and starting a family has felt impossible and isolating. Wherever you are in your parenting journey, my hope is to provide you and your family with a safe and secure place to learn, grow, and heal.

In my experience, making use of many approaches to therapy helps me tailor counseling to your needs as a client or as a family unit.
As a licensed professional counselor, I enjoy facilitating the process of lasting change in families, couples and individuals who feel 'stuck' in cycles that lead to feelings of hopelessness, depression, anger and sadness. I presently work with children, adolescents and adults who want help finding a way through anxiety, depression, mood disorders, attachment issues and trauma. I also provide neurofeedback at this time. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive approach to training our brain rhythms and can help with ADHD, depression, PTSD and peak performance issues.

My favorite things to do are spend time with my beloved family and friends.
I am so glad you are looking into therapy; this step alone took courage. Life offers us both beauty & pain; sometimes one takes over and we aren't sure what's next.

It is my desire to create a warm, welcoming safe space; where my clients learn to trust they are fully accepted, without judgement, and that they matter!

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.
