You're not just finding a counselor, you're gaining a dedicated ally who believes that with the right support, every family can navigate the challenges of senior life transitions with strength, grace, and hope.
While gaining seniority is an accomplishment, it comes with many obstacles we don't often consider. When senior loved ones encounter health challenges it impacts the whole family. Understanding, navigating, and adapting to those changes requires more than patience; it requires the support and guidance of someone who not only comprehends the complexities of such transitions but also approaches them with a deep sense of empathy and compassion.

The unique needs of each individual, child, or family starts with the assumption that safety, trust and relationship are the cornerstones to emotional health and happiness.
If you are a parent who is exhausted, worried, and confused by your child's behavior, I can help you make changes that make a difference. Using current science about how the brain works, I give you the inside story of what's happening when your child is falling apart. When you can see behind the behavior, you can more easily understand what the child needs you to do. You'll learn tools for understanding your child and tools to help improve their connection to you and to themselves. I am a fully licensed counselor in Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas and meet via telehealth, to clients in those states. Available weekdays am or pm

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.
