I am from Illinois but have lived in Iowa since 2007. My journey to becoming a therapist has been, like many others, non-traditional. I started my career as a human resource professional that quickly realized I wanted to serve humans more than companies. After experiencing the pandemic and significant personal changes, including a divorce, I began to explore future paths that felt right for me. That exploration led me to marriage and family therapy. Working with clients to help them improve their relationships is my passion. I believe that strong connections to Self and others have the potential to add depth and richness to our existence. Simply, when our relationships are functioning well, we feel well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/611de222-c6a0-49ae-b837-9fe58e55e713/falons-headshots-18.jpg https://www.falonmft.com/how-i-work daily 0.75 2024-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/1651008256126-G08WFVVIT8R9P7QQMOVH/mothers-day-g74b88a347_640.jpg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/1651008310301-7WIUY9R9WHT3DEIYJFLU/light-gbd3fc8f39_1920.jpg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/1651008601509-ZGPDGSPFLKA1ZSODJY5A/hug-g2b4bb73b4_640.jpg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/012e739d-0d7a-4667-882c-c832239cde56/41D643DF-7E65-4250-86DF-844BC0AA67D0.jpeg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/798f1cdb-264d-4880-b360-248656bd1f6c/5B423F6B-83F1-425D-BCC2-BB95D08F3C2A.jpeg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/029bb097-daaa-4ae9-8e6d-d6ea6b6a4765/2AB185BF-45E6-4A8E-BF5B-3C3816355EA8.jpeg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/25d8ac0c-4689-4a1f-9ed1-a791de5b46be/13E47F34-6EF9-4E57-B6A0-F657925AC5E1.jpeg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/7dda3019-c815-4061-991d-f687e59ab5cf/FFA000C8-2A6B-47DF-9077-9507C2B63D10.jpeg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/625e5ea9-c27c-43c4-8a2b-0c6cfc7e0a25/280DF3AF-F474-4AD9-BB5E-31DF2D4CE3B6.jpeg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/5903c178-fdf4-4621-a709-529993213536/B9821E20-6CE6-4C02-AEDD-C68E41DE6AD0.jpeg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/51ccab9e-8022-4995-8cff-3967f299d673/956007F3-3A71-4ED2-BEAA-2C814D2E58F8.jpeg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/2564255f-3a79-4188-b49e-b82e5c3170d2/BB94DE87-0DE4-438C-8E2C-AD78612EAC11.jpeg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/80184abb-d9fd-40a6-a391-3c3651394654/falons-office-6.jpg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/f8cbea13-a066-4b7f-8c65-0b9a25650a74/falons-office-13.jpg How I Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/1662908164125-TMRGVFI7Y3MOYFBOKXGQ/unsplash-image-Sgm_OGe3qko.jpg How I Work - How I work. My approach to couple’s therapy is based on Dr. Stan Tatkin’s model, the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT). This approach is designed to expand empathy and build our capacities to interact within our relationships. In the therapy room, I strive to create an active, honest and safe environment for couples to explore their individual and shared experiences. Beyond just sharing, we work to engage in the creation of new interactions, experiences and memories. Above all, I believe in the power of secure-functioning partnerships. When we belong to relationships based in respect, collaboration and shared power, we have improved overall health and well-being. I also believe that any two individuals that want to create such a relationship, regardless of background/experience/deficits, can do so. It is my honor to guide that co-creation between partners. https://www.falonmft.com/faqs daily 0.75 2024-10-03 https://www.falonmft.com/home daily 1.0 2025-05-14 https://www.falonmft.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/c2eebb7c-14b7-4a4a-b9db-3bf9cbb32e9d/tempImageJM1C16.jpg https://www.falonmft.com/credentials daily 0.75 2024-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/0da49a51-016f-47bb-b54a-85e0a79b61a4/level_2_green.png https://www.falonmft.com/endorsements daily 0.75 2025-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Endorsements https://www.falonmft.com/animalassisted-therapy daily 0.75 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/a9eaed97-530f-47da-a62c-3b7f851517bc/IMG_0257.jpeg Animal-Assisted Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/e84b89e7-27c2-4061-9aa2-17ee7f8de600/IMG_0343.jpeg Animal-Assisted Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/c0058b57-5478-4dc3-ac70-dcc236fc3cee/IMG_0303.jpeg Animal-Assisted Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/626834a06f593d0c5ec2a9ce/dd76231a-0f1d-474f-a152-0ea456656d5b/IMG_0403.jpeg Animal-Assisted Therapy
