Blended Family Life can Feel like A Lot. . .

Between navigating a blended family, keeping your relationship afloat, carrying past pain, or just trying to be the steady one for everyone else, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what to do next.

You might be asking:

“How did I get here?”

“Will things ever get better?”

A woman appears distressed, holding her forehead with a worried expression. In another scene, a man and a woman sit on a couch engaged in conversation, with the man explaining something and the woman listening with a concerned look.

That’s where counseling comes in:

With the right support, you can start making sense of the mess, processing what hurts, getting clear on what matters, and learning how to move forward with purpose. Whether it’s working through emotional disconnection, building trust, or managing stepfamily stress, I help blended families, couples, and men like you create real, lasting change, one breakthrough at a time.

  • I am currently completing my Masters in Marriage of Family Therapy and will be accepting new clients in April 2026! If you would like to join the waitlist, please fill out the contact form here!

  • My fee is $150 an hour.

    I also see clients pro bono. If you cannot afford counseling, contact me here and we can chat. Space is limited and if I am currently booked, I will add you to the waitlist.

  • I specialize in counseling for blended families, men, veterans, and couples.

  • Going to therapy might feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be.

    You can expect:

    • Genuine conversation

    • Clarity on your goals, whether it's healing from betrayal, feeling heard in your relationship, or learning to regulate emotions.

    • Tools you can actually use in real life, not just in-session talk.

    • A therapist who embraces both logic and emotion.

    And yes, we’ll laugh sometimes too. Healing doesn’t always have to feel clinical or stiff.

  • The counseling journey is different for everyone. Studies show that therapeutic effectiveness is based on a number of attributes, such as the therapeutic alliance (how well we connect), willingness to participate, willingness to change, depth of trauma, and the type of therapy that is used, just to name a few. That’s why you will hear me say often,

    “The therapist you choose is important!”

    You want to make sure you are a good fit for each other.

    Whether you decide to work with me or with someone else, here are a couple of questions you can ask in your “finding a therapist journey”

    • How do you measure that therapy is working?

    • How do you track results?

    • What do you do if my goals change?

    There are times when counseling can be ineffective. If you feel this is happening, talk to your
    therapist about referring you to a specialist based on your current needs.
