Do you find yourself fighting back tears at work? Do you feel like you have to lie and pretend when people ask you how you're doing? Are you starting to question your decisions, maybe even losing trust in yourself? When you notice that "small" things are causing "overreactions," you may feel like there's something wrong with you, and spiral deeper into confusion and self-doubt. These feelings are often connected to older issues that we try to shut away and pretend aren't affecting us. We can usually get by using denial and avoidance for awhile, but it almost always catches up with us.

I think of therapy as a venue where it's an honor to explore experiences with diverse people. I know that issues are challenging to live with, and I strive to allow people a safe, nurturing, supportive environment in which to explore challenges, meaning, and existence with empathy and compassion. I value seeing and exploring with people in creating their true identities, assisting people in finding their "voice" and to stand in truth. I'm always mindful that a person is not in isolation, but is part of a community with diverse perspectives, morals, and values.

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.
