I was called to be a counselor and to be able to assist people in helping themselves change the course of their lives. I work with people who are living with the challenges of anxiety, depression, addictions, couples counseling, family counseling, trauma, criminal justice involvement, and many other concerns. I help people restructure their thoughts which will ultimately lead to a change in emotions and behaviors.

We can talk about faith directly or simply let Christian values guide our sessions. Life can be overwhelming whether you are a teenager managing social anxiety and making new friends or an adult going through the loss of a loved one. We all struggle with life at some point and reaching out for help can be overwhelming so know I understand this and want to help.

Do you feel stuck in your life? You’d like to think that trauma you experienced in the past is in the rearview mirror. But perhaps you know all too well that it still affects you now and you need help to heal from it. Maybe that anxiety around you feeling not good enough drives you to be a high achiever, but you feel constantly stressed and overwhelmed. You might be questioning if you can ever reconnect with your partner the way you used to in the beginning due to problems with communication, intimacy, or a past affair.

I also help marriages or couples dealing with infidelity, blended family issues, conflict, communication issues, and couples in crisis. My philosophy is to find the roots of the problems and resolve them rather than simply helping learn awkward coping skills. At The Care Center you won't learn empathic/active listening, I statements or deep breathing techniques. We work on healing wounds and rebuilding trust.

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.
