I have a BA in Family Life Education-Marriage and Family from the University of Central Oklahoma and an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Wesleyan University.
Life can be full of different challenges; often we deal with them alone. My hope is to provide a space for you to tell your story without judgment. Regardless of your stage in life, you can expect I will meet you where you’re at, while empowering you to take control of the pen and write the new chapters of your narrative. You don’t have to go it alone anymore; I can be a compassionate witness to your story. I look forward to supporting you as you become the author of your own life!

With a combined 70+ years experience, we specialize in the family system: teens, young adults, families, & couples.
One of the most heartbreaking things we as parents will experience is having a teen or young adult who is struggling. Our teens & young adults will not know the depth of our love until they have kids themselves. We work hard to ensure our children grow up to be happy & healthy teens & young adults. There are things that can impact our ability to help our them. Things like depression, anxiety, ADHD/ADD, trauma, Autism Spectrum Disorders, these are all complex challenges that can test our parenting skills to the limit. Largely outside of our control, these can have an impact on our teen's happiness & future growth.

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.
