Being raised in a family with thirteen siblings, I learned early how to see things from multiple viewpoints. Also, I've learned that it was okay to have different viewpoints and not be wrong, because it was that person's opinion or belief. I became interested in couples and families, because I've learned that there's a difference between being in a relationship and "just" being together with a person or persons. Although it's a human need to want to be in a relationship, it's also a personal responsibility to learn how to be relationship material.
My specialty includes helping individuals, couples, and families process their past family interactions so they can understand how those interactions impact them in their current relationships today. The saying, "Where the mind goes, the feet follows," for children, "What the parent/caregiver does, the child will learn to do also."
I'm able to understand the importance of an emotionally safe environment and how to use that to help people talk about and create the changes they want to see in their lives so they can learn how to get their emotional wants and needs met in positive ways.

Most of my training and specialties is in Marriage and Family where I have learned the importance of how couples and families operate from a systems standpoint. I teach couples and families how to feel emotionally safe by showing them how to listen and validate more, so they can learn to respond and not react when they are overwhelmed. My "Components of Communication Chart" helps with that.

I don't usually use any kind of "treatment," because I believe that healing is in the conversation. Meaning, how I process and conceptualize client's thoughts with them, helps them learn how to view their situation(s) from more than one perspective. In therapy, it's not so much about techniques more than it is about the therapist-client relationship.
