I have training in DBT & CBT and have worked in multiple settings from inpatient hospital to in-home family therapy to school based therapy.
Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. Making your mental health a priority is one of the strongest things you can do for yourself. My number one goal as a therapist is to help you learn healthy ways to navigate difficult emotions and situations. Everyone needs and deserves a safe space to vent, brainstorm and ask for help without judgment. My job is to offer a different perspective to your current struggles and challenge you to build more effective ways of dealing with tough emotions & life changes.

My drive in life has always been to advocate for those who don't feel like they can advocate for themselves. As a former teacher, I knew that mental health was not a priority when it needed to be. I want to help my clients learn more about their innermost self, and help to come up with goals and plans that are reachable, no matter how small they may be. No goal is too small or unattainable , and it is important to be kind to yourself, find little stepping stones, and grow from there.

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.
