In my career, I have facilitated groups for those suffering from addictions and illnesses; provided individual/family supportive training and counseling; to include rehabilitative services for infants/toddlers; as well as couples/family therapy through the Army using models such as Solution Focused, CognitiveBehavioral, and Emotional Focused Couple therapies.
Facing life's challenges and transitions should not be done alone. When you encounter issues arising from lifecycle changes, relational turmoil or any other challenges that invoke a crisis or grief, it is important to have genuine and empathetic support to guide you without passing judgment. As a spouse of a retired veteran, I have over 20 years of experience adapting to the lifestyle challenges that the military community encounters. I have helped many families successfully cope with the military lifestyle, relational struggles and raise special children.

My experience has also lead me to focus on treating those with depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, life transitions, family conflict, and relationship issues.
Pause, and take a breath. You are where you need to be in this moment, present and safe. We often struggle with a void, a deep emptiness we often cannot explain. It leaves us feeling like we aren't good enough, unworthy, or alone. It’s time to quiet that voice. You no longer need to suffer alone. I am here to help you find serenity, strength, hope, and courage within yourself. Those demons you have kept inside deserve to be heard, processed, and understood. Let’s work together so you may find authenticity and peace within yourself.

Much of my passion for mental health derives from growing up in a Native American family.
I believe that therapy is the best gift you could ever give yourself. Anyone can benefit from taking the time to understand how their minds operate and what parts of their identity are challenging the peace, happiness, and love they deserve. As a person-centered therapist, I understand the value of meeting an individual where they are at with their lives and building off their strengths/resources. My goal as your therapist is to provide empowerment and the instillation of hope for whatever change you want to create in your life.

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.
