My passion is in helping individual's reach their highest potential through living a healthy lifestyle. I believe that therapy is not only beneficial for self health but it also creates this foundation that brings healing to the mind, body and soul. My past experience as a behavioral specialist at an elementary school for several years prior to pursuing a degree as a marriage and family therapist all taught me how to utilize the best evidence based practices in real life settings. As a mom and wife I understand the challenges that families endure and I can help with couples counseling, families, individual and group sessions.

My focus is Marriage Counseling, Family Counseling, and Behavioral Intervention with children and adolescents of all ages.
My focus is helping couples, individuals, and families identify and address what "doesn't work", and in a meaningful and respectful way, communicate their needs to create balance throughout the system. I believe in a systemic approach, and through the use of empathy, motivation, and a bit of humor, aim to help families recognize their strengths, and put those strengths to use in problem solving. My ability to join with families and couples (showing equal respect for each person in that system) has been my strongest tool in promoting success. I welcome any challenge.

We all experience a range of emotions but at times we may become overwhelmed with these emotions to the point that we feel stuck. Counseling can provide the support that is sometimes necessary, while assisting you to navigate life's challenges.

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.
