I typically spend my day with a mix of play therapy for an anxious child, providing co-parenting support to conflicted parents, helping an adolescent deal with big life changes, and a sprinkle of family/reunification therapy.
Do you feel stuck? In a feeling, a situation, a relationship, or just in the muck? Let's get you to a better place. Together, we can accomplish healing and movement that may feel unimaginable to right now. That's okay, you don't have to see to believe. I'll teach you how and walk along with you on your path for as long as you need me. You'll get no judgment from me. What you will get is 20 plus years of experience from someone who values compassion, authenticity, self-determination, vulnerability, and concrete tools.

Experiencing the challenges of being a military spouse, along with my strong family values, makes me a great choice to assist my clients.
My passion is to help strengthen the relationship between parent and child. You may feel sometimes that you and your child are having difficulty connecting to where you feel like you are not on the same page. This disconnect coupled with the pressures of school issues, can manifest in your teen through behaviors such as anger, anxiety, depression, self-identity crisis, and even self harm.

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.
