Do you Want Something Different in your Relationship, Family, Work, or Personal Life? Are you Tired and Stressed, Depressed or Anxious? For individuals, couples and families struggling with life - change is possible. I view therapy as a healing relationship, with conversation and support that provides clients with a safe, non-judgmental place to express and explore their feelings. Counseling helps you discover strengths and solutions that are consistent with your unique beliefs and values. We will work together to help move you away from self-blame and examine negative thinking/patterns so that you may achieve your goals, improve relationships and regain peace of mind.

You leave every visit feeling informed and educated, treated like an individual with unique values and preferences, supported to express your specific needs, and discuss the financial impact of recent events on you and your family.
Every morning is the same. The alarm goes off, and you hit the snooze button over and over before finally tumbling out of bed. Why? Because facing the day is drudgery. You get all the necessary tasks done but without enthusiasm, connection, or joy. The panic and fear are just icing on the cake. That voice in your head tells you, “Don’t bother. You’ll never measure up.” No one knows how hard it is to keep going. It doesn’t feel safe to tell them. Where did the voice come from? When did it start? Too long ago to remember. One thing’s for sure, nothing you’ve tried has worked.

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.
