As a culturally competent therapist, I understand that each person has unique world views, based on their experiences within their family of origin and within themselves, and in relationships.
Let’s work together to lighten your human experience. It is courageous to admit when you need a bit of help. The process of therapy is collaborative, and we are in this together. Progress in life starts with clarity in your mental health and wellbeing. My motivation as a therapist is to offer you a safe space to share and navigate life’s challenges. Together we will tailor where you want to take your journey and how you want to get there. Life transitions, relationships and self-work can feel heavy and isolating. Sessions are client-focused, in a confidential environment where you are encouraged to express and process all emotions.

If you have ever experienced sexual assault, abuse, the loss of a loved one, or a toxic relationship you are already a survivor. You might feel really lost and alone, but you don't have to be. Oftentimes when people have been through significant traumas they continue through life thinking they will be fine, but they are continuously haunted by anxiety and depression. If you have experienced any of these traumatic situations you likely have also experienced narcissistic abuse within your family. This kind of trauma and abuse can make it difficult to function in healthy relationships as an adult. -now offering EMDR

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.
