Feeling like you're constantly on defense against life’s blitzes? From the heavy tackles of trauma to dodging the daily flags of depression and anxiety, it’s like you're in a tough game with no playbook. Battling substance issues, family feuds, or parenting pressures aren’t just minor penalties; they can feel like you're down by a touchdown with seconds on the clock. Now you’re looking for a coach who can help you read the field, call the right audibles, and turn those fourth-quarter fears into a comeback story. It's about finding those breakthrough plays that shift the momentum and get you back in the game.

I am a marriage & family therapist with several years of experience working with children, teens, families and couples helping them create the life that they want.
Do you ever think about when life was “simple” or “good," and wonder why you can't get back to that? Our emotional well-being and relationships with our loved ones are very important parts of our lives, and as such, they have a great impact in your overall satisfaction and happiness. Counseling is a wonderful resource to find tools and answers to what our hearts most yearn: to individually be in harmony and well-connected to those that we love the most.

This joint approach provides the opportunity for two family therapists (who are married) to listen to and support couples with their relationship goals, providing both a male and female perspective.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.... We understand that relationships can be challenging and that couples often find themselves in the midst of a busy life and struggling with connecting in ways that invite joy and satisfaction. Having had generational and personal experiences with failed relationships ourselves, we began a 10 year journey of exploring the challenges that couples face and learning about effective principles and tools that could lead to a more fulfilling relationship. We have experienced the power of change in our own relationship and are excited to assist others along their journey to increased relationship satisfaction.

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.
