Are you having relationship difficulties? Do you feel stuck/hopeless? Are you suffering from a loss? Are you struggling with a life transition?
Maybe you have days where you feel totally alone, overwhelmed or misunderstood.
You may be holding all of this inside or maybe you've tried to talk to friends or family, but just end up confused.
You don't have to struggle with this by yourself. I'd like to help guide you through your struggles and help you to find the true joy in living again (or maybe for the first time).

This passion has lead me, in addition to getting my license in Marriage and Family therapy, to pursue certification as a facilitator for the PrepareEnrich program, as well as being certified by the Relationship Coaching Institute as a Singles Coach and a Couples Coach.
You can't seem to get over worrying about the many things on your plate. It's hard to get out of bed in the morning, and there's just no motivation for anything. To make things worse, your partner seems to not care at all, getting on you about everything and making it even harder for you. They don't seem to care, and you don't know what to do. You feel stuck and overwhelmed. I get it. You wonder if it's ever going to change. Better is possible, and I'm here to help. I have a passion for helping individuals in personal growth and couples thrive in their relationship.

Addiction cannot be overcome simply by knowing what it is or acknowledging its presence in your life. Nor can it be squashed by sheer will power. Many of our clients say they have felt that they could "just handle this by themselves," but once they reached out to us and got the help they needed, they realized that even if you can "just handle this alone," no one, including you, should ever have to. By reaching out to us, you are stating you are ready to bring balance back to your life.

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.
