Stepfamily Specialist - Clinical LCPC & LMFT Supervisor - NBCC Trainer of CEs Most clinicians are trained for one-home families. Many of the clients we serve live in two. When both homes are not part of the assessment and treatment, key dynamics are missed. I offer training, supervision, and therapy for clinicians wanting to deepen their understanding of stepfamily and co-parenting systems, including learning through their own clinical work. Brainspotting certified. Accepting clinicians for consultation and advanced training.

I help clinicians assess and treat stepfamily and co-parenting systems using a two-home lens. I offer training, group supervision, consultation, and therapy for counselors who want to deepen their understanding, including learning through their own work. Brainspotting can be integrated when appropriate.

If you’ve felt stuck in complex cases or unsure how to work across two homes, you’re not alone. This work is nuanced and often undertrained. With the right lens, these patterns begin to make sense. You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

For Counselors: I work with Counselors to grow a private practise, teach stepfamily systems, and family system supervision. For Clients: I offer quicker access to their stuckness/trauma. Brainspotting is a therapy that is typically effective in 1-5 sessions. This therapy is very different than other Talk Therapies. You don't even have to talk about it to do the work and get healing.

I absolutely love Brainspotting Therapy. It is the fastest way to help you find your own path. The counselor stays out of the way and you are able to understand your own story. This said, Family work is how I see all counseling. The Family is the core of thriving individuals. Regardless of your family system, together we can help increase your ability to thrive and live your best life.
