My formal training as a marriage, couple, and family therapist also aids me in working with and conceptualizing my clients as I often view clients' presenting problems as being bigger, or outside of, the individual.
Welcome to Brave Beginnings Therapy! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work from an integrative perspective with a solid foundation in humanism. In session, I utilize active listening skills, validation, and understanding to better understand clients' worldviews while also helping them to gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that feels warm and brave, to help clients explore themselves and their circumstances, and where the therapeutic process can unfold. I also invite my clients to tell their stories as storytelling can be freeing, redemptive, and cathartic.

Our experiences mold us in various ways. If I were to imagine a plant that captures what happens to many of us when faced with challenging and persistent experiences, the CACTUS comes to mind. Like the CACTUS, we develop tougher skin and spikes to protect ourselves from problematic situations. When not processed correctly, the development of these characteristics may detract attention from the other powerful properties we possess. For some, the CACTUS may be the least appealing plant. When given the time to learn about it, you discover that the CACTUS is extremely resilient, powerful, beautiful and filled with wonders.

Becoming a counselor was the last thing I thought I would ever do. Growing up broken I never thought God would use me to help bring restoration to others. After years of healing and also seeing so many injustices in the world God spoke to me about the brake down of families. Family can bring much joy but also pain, such as divorce, abuse, neglect, entanglement and more. Gods hope is to restore the Christian home. Often, we want a redo with where we came from but God wants to start the process of healing with you in order to not continue the generational sin, and pain. This is why I became a counselor. There are times God wont take

Over the past decade with individual, group and family therapy, my work with youth and adults has focused primarily on trauma, anxiety, self injurious behaviors, emotional regulation, parenting challenges, family stressors, and intimate partner abuse.
Something brought you to this site today. Whether you’re in the thick of a crisis, haunted by past traumas, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or wrestling with anxiety...you’re here. Stress and suffering can have huge effects on relationships, health, mood, and everyday life. Feeling overwhelmed is exhausting. Feeling stuck can be so lonely. Being flooded by racing thoughts can leave you feeling hopeless. In therapy we can’t make life stressors go away, and we can’t undo the hurt you’ve experienced. But we can work together to make sense of your past, stay centered in the moment, and move forward confidently into your future.

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.
