God values your family unit and so do I. Unfortunately in today's stressful world disharmony results. If you are willing, together we can work on healing and restoration. Depression, anxiety, sexual addiction, and relationship issues are problems I frequently see. Through Biblical counseling I strive to help you see yourself as Christ sees you. You are unique, precious and deeply loved by God. As a Christian, I strive to treat the whole person: body, soul, & spirit. For this, we've created a calming, peaceful environment for relaxation therapy. As a LPC-S and nurse, I specialize with medical issues like cancer, infertility, depression & anxiety.

I have varied work experience: As a Career counselor, ASD Specialist, Child and Family Therapist , Military Group Therapist, and Trauma Therapist.
It takes courage to be radically honest and through self awareness lies the path to healing. I create a safe and non judgmental space so you can explore past trauma, grief and loss, anxiety stressors, and negative thought patterns. You may already be aware of self defeating behaviors but unable to stop or change. I will guide you through useful techniques you will be able to use for the rest of your life and I will gently push you to step out of your comfort zone each session. We'll explore questions like: What do you want most out of life? What thoughts and behaviors are holding you back from creating the relationships you want?

You want your children & family to thrive, and your marriage to remain strong.
Now Accepting Clients 13 years and older. No matter what you do, nothing has worked thus far. You still get frustrated by the same people and situations, and your relationships suffer as a result. You might even engage in self-sabotaging behaviors, and juggling all of it feels impossible. You know your parenting could be better, and you are not sure how or why you react in the ways you do. You may ask yourself “Why am I this way?” The answer often lies in early trauma. A chaotic upbringing, abuse, and not feeling seen as children can often result in emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that do not reflect our true selves.

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.
