My experience with women's health, family issues, anxiety, & eating disorders helps me guide clients who are struggling with many different issues.
Do you feel like your concerns are more than just a checkbox for your provider to 'fix'? Do you find yourself dealing with life stressors, anxiety, or relationship issues? Perhaps you struggle with self-esteem, communication skills, worry, or perfectionism. You might be facing women's reproductive issues like pregnancy, childbirth, perimenopause, or menopause, or dealing with eating disorders and concerns about your relationship with food, weight, & weight loss. If your goal is to find direct and understanding support to navigate these challenges and improve your overall well-being I'm here to help you on that journey.

It's impossible to travel 1,800 miles on a quarter tank of gas. Our vehicles would fail to arrive at their destinations without sufficient fuel. Just as the gas tanks in our vehicles require proper maintenance to move, so do we as humans. You've driven far enough without proper maintenance, it's time to pull over and refuel. Allow me to provide the roadside assistance needed to help you on your journey to a "Wellness Refill".

Entering into counseling takes both courage and vulnerability. I work with children, teens, adults, families, and couples, using an approach of trust and mutual respect, believing that every person is doing the best they can and has the ability to grow and learn. Identifying and drawing forth personal skills and strengths as well as an action plan for change is crucial for problem resolution. I address all areas to self-healing, working with body, mind, and Spirit. People are whole beings and all areas truly are connected.

Some people, including myself, have had a point in life where they feel there is something more in life, but don't know how to get there. Others may have gotten to a point where they don't feel they have potential. No matter where you are at-broken, stuck, or just feel you need someone to guide you in your journey, I can help you. I love to work with people people through their struggles by taking a relational and evidence based approach that focuses on using ones strength to accomplish their purpose. When one learns to use their strengths, they often feel happier and become more successful.

It feels like there’s a vast chasm between you and your husband. You’ve been together for many years, and you know that partnerships are meant to evolve over time. But it feels like you keep growing further and further apart. It’s true that this is not exactly what either of you had in mind for your future. You’ve both made sacrifices for each other, but you’ve begun to wonder what any of them were for. You ignore every problem until it becomes just another reason for resentment. Neither of you is ready to give up on this relationship, but you don’t know how to fix it. Something desperately needs to change. You need some help.

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.
