Our past sometimes keeps us from living healthy lives with our loved ones, our friends, and our
family
.
Do you find yourself feeling alone or at times not wanting to get out of bed or leave the house? Or maybe your mind is racing through many thoughts and scenarios all the time? Has past trauma or the way you were raised negatively impacted your relationships and worldview? If you find yourself feeling alone, having negative thoughts, feeling different from others, and as though those close to you do not understand what you are going through, know that it is normal to have these feelings at times, but understanding them and exploring them is pivotal in order to find healing.

You're torn. The overwhelming urgency and pressure to decide – to make the right decision – is crushing you. Your life, well-being, and sanity hang in the balance while you consider what to do next. On the one hand, divorce feels like a failure, a judgment from others, or even shame. You worry about the effects on your
family
and already know that this will likely be one of the most expensive things you ever do. But on the other hand, you are suffocating, drowning, unable to be yourself in your marriage. It feels like you have nothing left to give. This moment is hard, and you worry that no matter what you choose to do, you’ll lose.

I have been married and have 2 children of my own, so I understand
family
dynamics and the concept of being married, as well as divorced.
Ever feel like no one understands you? Wish you could talk to someone without judgment or bias? Have something wrong but are not sure how to vocalize the issue? That is exactly what counseling is for. I offer you a setting that is safe to work through whatever issue you are struggling with, whether you have a specific goal or just need an outlet. My mission as a counselor is to support anyone that is struggling, by educating them, listening to them, or help by working with the
family
. Due to high demand at this time I am not accepting new clients.

family
goals. For those prepared to make changes, therapy can be the catalyst to personal growth and development. I'd like to work with individuals looking to better themselves. If you have questions or ideas that you would like to explore in therapy give me a call so we can schedule an appointment.

What do you hope would be better about yourself, about your life, about your marriage, about your
family
? This is my chief focus as a therapist. I get to the heart of what you really want and hope for in the first session, beginning with the end in mind. I believe hope is an essential mechanism for change in human beings. Hope drives us to accomplish the greatest feats in our lives. I have assisted people in striving for hope during my times in ministry, youth work, crisis response and in the counseling setting. I work with individuals, couples and families. I especially enjoy helping couples get back to having a hopeful marriage.

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.
