One demonstrates great strength, humility, and boldness to seek counseling. I enjoy working with clients who are open to various modalities of treatment and willing to be an active participant in their treatment. Clients experiencing relationship issues, self-esteem, identity, anxiety, depression, family discord, job related stress, initial diagnoses, as well as other concerns, function best when clarity, acceptance, resolve, forgiveness, and empowerment is present.

It can be hard finding a good fit for you or your family.
Life is messy. And hard and complicated. It doesn't matter if you are a kid, a parent, a teen, or adult we all thrive when we have relationships to connect us to ourselves, families, and our world during stressful times. What I do best is create a space (physical or emotional) for healing within ourselves and relationships. I work with people of all ages, and especially love working with kids and their caregivers, to focus on healing and understanding.

It can feel like you are stuck, unmotivated, frustrated and don't have the energy to make the changes you desire or not being sure of what changes you need to make to live a fuller, more complete life. You may also feel overwhelmed, anxiety filled, doubt in yourself and your abilities, anger/irritation, and setting impossible goals for yourself.

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.
