Waitlist for new clients
For example, I help family members share and cooperate with each other in new ways during the session, rather than mainly focus on changing between sessions.
I have worked with a wide range of clients in schools and hospitals, as well as private office settings. I try to understand each person's problems as influenced by their unique patterns of relating with self , others, and the natural world. I help you explore these patterns on an emotional level rather than simply intellectually. If you are interested, we will also work with your particular spiritual orientation, or help you find a spiritual path, as part of the healing process. Decreasing your suffering, and helping you find deeper meaning and more zest in life, are important goals in each therapy session.

It can be exhausting to even get through the day.

This will allow you to focus on the things that matter most: your job, your family, and goals you thought unattainable due to the pain you have felt.
Men don’t like to talk about anxiety. It can make you feel out of control. Think of the times you want to do something meaningful for yourself but cannot because of the rush of overwhelm you feel. Something has to change. I help men who struggle with anxiety manage their thoughts and feelings so they can do what they want, instead of having their anxiety tell them what they can and cannot do.

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.
