As an adjunct professor in an accredited marriage and family therapy graduate program, I am familiar with major models of psychotherapy.
A strong couple relationship has an enormous impact on individual well-being. In a family, the couple relationship affects the entire emotional atmosphere of the family. I have made couples therapy a core part of my practice because it is challenging, yet rewarding.

Do you feel like everyone else has it together while you're stuck, broke, and pretending you're fine? Is it getting harder to care about the next day? Maybe you're numb, overwhelmed, or just going through the motions. You’re not lazy—you’re exhausted. And you're not alone. A lot of people around here feel hopeless about the future, like nothing they do will actually change things. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. Real support can help you figure out what’s next—and actually feel excited about it again.

Children don’t come with a manual. So how do you know what to do when they’re struggling? Big emotions, frequent outbursts, and difficulty focusing —there’s so much advice out there. But what’s right? What’s harmful? Trying to sort through it all is overwhelming. Meanwhile, your child isn’t getting better. One week, things seem a little easier; the next, you’re back to square one. It’s painful to watch your once-happy child change to the point you hardly recognize them. You love them more than anything and want them to have all the opportunities they deserve, but it’s getting harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

You made a mistake this morning. It was small, but you can’t get it out of your head. You keep thinking about it. You feel like your thoughts are a runaway train and you can’t stop them.

Your mind hurts, your stomach hurts, your body hurts. You feel exhausted; it's only been an hour.
