I view each person and
family
as an entire world, worthy of trust, safety, and celebration.
Relationships get stuck in cycles and patterns. They can feel oppressive, bland, limiting or severe. Sometimes the closest relationships are filled with pain and distance. You might be having the same conversation over and over again without any resolution. It’s becoming disappointingly predictable. The bliss of being together is missing, and you’re not sure anymore if you and your partner are really there for each other. Everything is feeling dull and challenging, instead of bright and exciting.

Healing can be a challenging process, especially healing wounds in relationships with our past, our partner, our
family
, and even our self. It can be daunting if finding resolution feels lonely, too difficult, or overwhelming, leaving us feeling disconnected and discouraged. In our desperate search for solutions to deal with the interpersonal conflicts, trauma, grief, and other wounds within these relationships, we may do more damage than good. Thankfully, there's hope in that you have the power to change these circumstances.

I have the most success working with clients who are ready to do serious exploration around the problems in living they are experiencing. They do not have to know how they will solve their problems but they are willing to do the intense work that it may require. I am very good at encouraging and supporting folks as they engage in self-exploration. Besides helping folks manage their particular problems in living I also help them take a look at their values and how that matches what they want to get out of life.

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.
