As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I seek to help those who are afraid to share their story for fear of rejection and judgement. The person who believes the lies they have been told about themselves, the person who feels crazy, the person who has never found someone willing to understand and remain curious, open, and nonjudgemental is who I desire to help. Some stories have never been shared because no one has ever given them enough time and space to feel safe to come out. Let me prove that it is possible to have enough faith and trust to share those vulnerabilities.

My goal is to help you and your family alleviate your stress, anxiety, and to overcome the family conflicts that is stopping you from living in peace and loving each other to the fullest.
If you are struggling with conflicts within your family or struggling with your own personal mental health, you are not alone. A case study in 2020 showed that mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, tripled in adults during the pandemic. This also includes a flare up in conflicts between couples and families. These situations can become overwhelming at times and seeking help from a counseling professional may be the hardest step to take, however, it will also be the most rewarding.

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.
