We all encounter challenges in our lives. I am here to help you successfully navigate through those challenges, to discover untapped inner resources and possibilities, for successful change to take place. Have you or your family been struggling to keep everything together but now have a growing sense that you are stuck and need help? Are you telling yourself “just get through another day”? Or do past events distress you still even though they happened years ago? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, then I can help you bring a sense of balance and healing to your life.

Danielle LaPorte asked the question best, “Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?” Can you remember when you loved and accepted yourself unapologetically, and embraced all the things about you that make you unique? As we age, we gain knowledge from life experiences and through those experiences we can soar to greatness or we can break and lose sight of who we really are and become someone we were never meant to be. When we become someone less than who we were meant to be we can begin to experience anxiety, depression, substance abuse, loss of relationships and functional distress.

Life’s transitions can get the best of us sometimes. It is not easy to see the rainbow behind the clouds when you are amid the storm. Difficult times of adjusting to these transitions are also the opportunity to grow. I believe having a supportive & non-judgmental environment helps us heal. If you are struggling with a relationship question, want more out of your relationship, trying to figure out parenting during changing relationship dynamics, or if you or your child are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma, etc., then I would feel privileged to create a safe space to start your healing journey.

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.
