I have provided individual and family therapy for a variety of issues, but my specialties include anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, and low self-esteem.
Does this sound familiar? “I can’t do this. I'll fail. I’m an awful person. I’ll never be good enough. I'm hopeless.” Thoughts like these are powerful and very common for anyone experiencing anxiety. Replaying these thoughts over and over again in your head can take a toll on your well-being. I aim to help my clients find new ways to cope with intrusive, negative thoughts that seem impossible to control. Negative thoughts have a source which is usually a deep, negative belief about the self. I assist my clients realize their strengths and create a new, more positive belief about themselves.

It could be the death of a family member (pets included), loss of a relationship, health, or job - all are life changing.
I have been in private practice for over twenty-five years. Therapy is a process that can help you get "unstuck" from issues that compromise the quality of life and personal potential. My overall apporach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I hold national certifications in grief and trauma work. Establishing a balance between good physical, mental, and spiritual health is essential. Christian values form the foundation of my life and practice. The book "Dog Walking - Reflections Through the Seasons" encapsulates my general philosophy. Finally, I have the privilege of working with couples and individuals. Please contact me for additional information.

My therapeutic approach is derived from a combination of cognitive-behavioral and systemic techniques. Each interaction is addressed in relation to habitual patterns that may have become stuck or conflictual, and a systemic therapist makes interventions to help the client (s) consciously make healthier choices to create more intimacy or functionality in these relationships. I have been in private practice for over 10 years, helping couples and individuals with their relationship conflicts and psychiatric challenges as well as their desires for improved communication and intimacy.

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.
