You want to see your family member progress, and I can help.
Difficult situations of the past can have lasting effects on our futures. You’ve seen this first hand with your child or teen. Their life has been altered at such a young age, and they don’t know how to express their feelings towards it. So they express it by acting out; by being angry, not socializing like they used to, or by breaking the rules. It’s a burden seeing them go through this, and not knowing how to help them.

My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families overcome life’s obstacles. I believe individuals possess the resiliency to discover their strengths with guidance in therapy. Through therapy one can elicit strengths to bring about hope, balance, and change in life. I utilize a more collaborative approach to therapy including Collaborative, Narrative, Solution - Focused, and Strategic Family Therapy. However, there is not one theory that fits all challenges. The client is the expert on their life; therefore, as the therapist, collaboration is key to unlocking their potential.

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.
