Welcome to Dear Family Counseling! I am your cheerleader. I want to help you sort out the good, the bad, and the ugly so that you feel more empowered to live your life unapologetically. I use a sense of humor and nurturing in my practice. I have over 15 years of mental health knowledge that I can provide you in several areas of your life. I'm passionate about families, especially navigating parenting and childhood trauma.
You are the expert in your life; therefore, I work collaboratively with you to navigate the systems within your environment. I am a systemic therapist, so I'm interested in your life and your support, or lack thereof, in all areas. I have specialized training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and trauma-focused therapies. I also incorporate Christianity by request in counseling sessions.
Therapy takes as long as it needs to, and I will be with you every step of the way. The only outcome that I care about is that you feel empowered and that you experience actual change. I want to empower you to know what is best for you and/or family. For this to happen, I like to create a space of safety and warmth. It takes a lot to be vulnerable in therapy, and I pride myself on giving you the space to do so.
