I wholly respect where each individual, couple and family presently is, and devote myself to empowering them to reach greater levels of satisfaction with their lives.
Life is a journey, taking us on a path that is unique as we are. This path can be truly inspiring, fulfilling, and meaningful. However, when we encounter challenges that bring stress, anxiety, depression, and conflict, we can feel overwhelmed. Courageously facing these internal and external obstacles with the help of a caring professional can help us feel confident again that we are progressing on life's journey in the ways that matter most. I specialize in helping families, couples, and individuals clarify their goals, increase awareness, and improve the skills required to create the life they desire.

If you or someone you love are having problems related to alcohol or drug use, there is hope and a way out. It is most useful to meet with someone who truly understands addiction and can provide a true assessment. I will work with you, your family and any other healthcare providers to develop a plan of action based on your needs. Often times the road to recovery starts with meeting someone who listens to understand, meets you with genuine care and concern and can provide useful recommendations. Chemical dependency is a primary illness not a secondary mental health issue; trust a counselor who entered this specialty field.

You. Just. Cannot. EVEN. Anymore. It’s all too much. The arguments with your family are constant, and it feels like you’re growing away from them. Concentrating is difficult, and tasks are piling up. Dating is confusing and uncomfortable. And that doesn’t even compare to the stress, anxiety, and confusion about figuring out who you are and what you are "supposed" to be. You see the news popping up on your feed about climate disasters and social injustices, and it just feels like the entire world is out of control. It all seems so hopeless. How are you supposed to figure all this out?

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.
