I'm a laid-back Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping couples understand each other's perspectives and break down barriers to effective communication.
Does the relationship that used to bring you so much joy now feel isolating, confusing, and frustrating?  Have you been so defined by the opinions of others that you've forgotten who you are and what you want from life? Are anxiety and panic almost always running your life, and you can't remember the last time you felt grounded and at peace? Know it doesn't have to be this way. At Sikhona Holistic Therapy + Wellness, I use evidence-based treatment, compassion, humor, and no-nonsense guidance to help you infuse joy, freedom, and peace into your 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.
