You’re ready for something to change. Anxiety and stress make everything feel overwhelming. You’re tired of feeling misunderstood, of keeping it all together on the outside while running on empty inside.

You don’t want to feel so stretched thin or disconnected anymore. You’re ready to feel more like you again!

Throughout life, we experience a variety of highs and lows. Some of our lows can be much more challenging to handle than others. It is my belief that counseling is a process of self-discovery. Through the counseling process you are able to uncover tools to help you become better equipped to handle the unexpected lows that may occur throughout life. A little support can make a tough situation much brighter, and make all the difference for a healthier you.

Family and friends are great people to talk to about your issues.
I work with adults as well as children/teens from age 9-17 years old. I have personal knowledge and experience with individuals in public safety, hospital staff, military, and first responders. I can relate to the stress and strain that type of work causes in your personal and professional life.

Depression, anxiety, relationships, communication are all hidden issues when you think it is just being tired or “worn out” from your work.

FAQ - About 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.
