Military Family Life

Over 20 years of experience with military families. 

Military families have unique needs related to the stresses of military life. Frequent unpredictable PCS moves, long deployments, and extended separations can challenge family, social, and professional stability. Military members and their families benefit from working with a counselor who understands their unique life experiences and can help them build mental, social, and emotional strength to address the rapid changes and sudden demands placed on military families. 

Marriage Conflict

 The joys of married life can sometimes become overshadowed by recurring experiences of conflict. Healthy relationships will experience conflict. When you know how to handle marital or family conflict, each conflict becomes a building block in the foundation of a satisfying relationship. When you don't know how to move through conflicts in a constructive way, the conflicts can become bricks in a wall the divides people until their relationship blows apart. Counseling with a Marriage & Family Therapist can help individuals, couples, and families learn how to move through conflicts and build a stable, satisfying life together.
