The ups, downs, and turnarounds of life can be challenging, especially when we're trying to wear a number of hats. As a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor with a lot of experiences wearing different hats, I know that sometimes challenges can become overwhelming. Feelings of depression, anger and extreme anxiety and worry can cause us to question our purpose for being. If you're at that place in your life, I can help. One of my life's goals is to empower, encourage, and inspire people who are struggling to make sense of life.

I specialize in working with eating disorders and bariatric issues in both adolescents and adults, co - occurring disorders, and breaking strongholds of addictive behavioral patterns in individual, couples, &
family therapy
.
Most have been taught to monitor behavior, but few have mastered monitoring their heart. I am passionate about helping clients gain understanding and instill hope for change. By starting where the client is at, I aim to facilitate change as it relates to the mind, body, & soul. Creating a safe environment for a strong therapeutic alliance, each client is treated wholistically to discover one's true potential for conflict resolution. Building on individual client's strengths, the C.O.R.E. issue to the presenting problem is revealed.

My experience in working in a variety of settings such as office, home, and community has provided me with a knowledge base to provide individual and
family therapy
for children and adults including support for veterans and their families as well as people with various disabilities.
I believe that people today are looking for meaning in their lives. The issues that many are experiencing such as depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship problems stem from a struggle to find meaning and one's place in the world. A balance must be achieved between the client's psychological and spiritual natures. It is my personal therapeutic philosophy that the issues that the client may be facing can be used as a motivating force to help him or her achieve and maintain this psycho-spiritual union.

It begins to manifest as triggers, depression, anxiety, and so many other things. There is always hope for things to get better. You and your
family
deserve for things to get better. You have come to the right place. I am here to help in a safe, nonjudgemental space. Reach out today to start your journey.

I focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy,

, and Motivational Interviewing techniques.
As individuals with lives in constant flux, it can seem strange and feel scary to ask for assistance from others. Oftentimes, we resist that urge despite all signs pointing towards it. Despite that fear, when we take that step and seek assistance in life, we open ourselves to wonderful possibilities and opportunities for growth and change. As a Counselor, I find personal growth can flow both ways during therapy. learn more about others and our respective worlds that empowers us to push past barriers that we thought were impossible to breach.

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.
