Family Systems Therapists in Galena, OH
The simple fact that we are all human beings means that we will experience the joy and pain that comes with being alive and living life. Most clients tend to seek a therapist while they are going through a difficult transition that often feels painful and sometimes lonely. As a therapist, I have learned that individuals tend to learn more about themselves, and experience more personal growth during these periods of transitions. Therefore, my favorite role as a therapist is to build a collaborative, supportive relationship with individuals that may be struggling with making decisions or adjusting to changes related to natural life transitions.

I am a counselor and a Veteran of the United States Coast Guard. This has lent me a unique therapeutic style: balancing respect and discipline with warmth and flexibility. It is my belief and confidence that each and every person is capable of making choices and decisions that are right for them, especially in regard to their culture, race, ethnicity, disability, and/or identity. In my experience, I have found that the most successful clients are the ones who have a desire for change, and are motivated to work for it and ask for help when needed. My hope is that my clients feel empowered throughout therapy.

Are you 13 to 23, or the parent of someone 13 to 23? Experiencing behavioral issues at home or at school? Recently encouraged to complete assessment by the schools or courts? Want to address and reduce/eliminate drug use such as alcohol or marijuana? Adolescence can be a time of struggle for everyone involved. Teenagers desire connections with others where they believe their voice is valued, built on acceptance and mutual respect as a unique individual. It’s important to understand the thought process and any potential underlying issues that may be contributing to individual behaviors in an open and non-judgmental environment.

As a marriage and family therapist, I enjoy working both with individuals as well as with couples and family systems, to provide treatment that addresses both individual and systemic factors.
I believe that we all have the capacity to grow towards becoming better versions of ourselves. I work collaboratively and systemically with individuals, couples, and families to help them achieve their desired goals for treatment. I also place great emphasis on developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. For adolescents struggling academically or in their interpersonal lives, I work to help them identify how they can get back to being their best selves. For families and couples feeling "stuck" in old patterns of behavior, our work can help you find new ways of relating towards more fulfillment in the relationship.

My approach is to integrate cognitive behavior therapy, family systems approach and strengths-based therapy into my sessions.
I see counseling as a pathway that helps people discover their strengths and gain tools to better navigate anxiety, depression, grief, identity confusion, life transitions, or other difficult life circumstances. In a therapeutic relationship, you can process your feelings and thoughts in a safe space. My hope is that clients will be seen, be heard, and be known in the process, which empower you toward the positive change you want to see in your life.

I am trained in CBT, Family Systems, MI, EMDR, as well as other evidence-based modalities.
Do you struggle with anxiety, panic, perfectionism, burnout, and a general sense of not being enough? Sometimes that looks like overworking, drowning in motherhood, or not being able to pin down exactly what doesn’t feel good in your life – just knowing that something is off. My deepest passion is helping women begin taking up space in their own life; typically that looks like a good balance of practicing new skills (setting boundaries, self-connection, communication, self-care, etc) while also exploring and healing deeply-held beliefs that make it difficult to do those skills on your own.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
