I also use a variety of family and attachment based approaches to strengthen relationships and communication between family members.
Does parenting your child feel overwhelming? Does he seem to have tantrums over everything? Maybe your child is aggressive at home or school and you don’t know why. Is there some anxiety, loss, or trauma? Have your tried everything and nothing is working? Parenting is difficult and your child’s negative behaviors may make you feel like you are not doing a good job. Therapy can not only help your child manage whatever stressors are causing his or her outbursts, but it can also help you understand how to help your child when he or she is overwhelmed. You are not alone on this parenting journey and I can help.

You deserve the chance to be free of bad relationships, family conflicts, and overwhelming emotions.
You've got this and I've got you. Life is a lot sometimes. It can be overwhelming and seem impossible even. Kids and young adults are facing a different world than their parents and teachers grew up in. Therapy can help, whether you or your child is dealing with something heavy, or if you are aiming to grow and achieve certain goals. Calling a therapist can be scary, especially if you tried and didn’t get a response before. But I hope that with a deep breath, you will call me to see if I can help. Give yourself that chance.

Nurturing our imagination sparks joy and healing. Do you find your children struggling with the verbal and cognitive skills to express themselves? Therapy provides a space for safe exploration, connection and expressive development. My younger clients might be working to better communicate their needs or process trauma in non-verbal ways. They may be gaining the cognitive skills to work through anxiety and depression to better thrive in social settings. They might even be teens or adults searching for affirmation and nurturing of their inner child, which I support through guided talk therapy and encouraging new creative outlets.

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.
