I work with adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance use-related challenges (risky-use, abuse & dependence), family conflict, school/work-related challenges, & life-transitions.
I recognize the decision to begin or return to therapy can be challenging. For many of us, we avoid confronting issues until feelings become too unbearable or life seems unmanageable. While this might describe your current circumstance, it's also true that you don't need to be in a crisis in order to benefit from professional support - looking inward is always a good idea. Regardless of where you are in your process, I will meet you there. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount, symptoms are adaptations, and while change can be difficult, it is more than possible.

An ideal client for my treatment mode would be someone who is either motivated for refinement of spirit, or would possess enough intelligence and wisdom to be able to gain enough insight into the nature of their condition so that they would embrace expert intervention with a degree of trust in harmony with adequate judgment into the need for treatment. He or she may engage in therapy alone, but where family history of emotional challenges exist, they would consider family therapy if all parties consent.

From an early age, you always had to be strong. Never complain. Don’t cause trouble. Now, you’re an adult with your own life, family, and problems, but you’re still hiding your feelings. You’re always there for everyone else. All you want to do is hide and disappear but you can’t; you still have to keep a brave face. The kids still need to get to school, work deadlines are fast approaching, and the expectations on you are as demanding as ever.

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.
