I can remember lying in bed, looking up at the ceiling, worried about the everything. It didn’t matter what was going on in my life - I was constantly worried. Anxiety had a grip on my life, slowly tightening more and more every day. When my friends would call, I could hear the disappointment in their voice as I made up another lame excuse about why I couldn’t go out time and time again. I could feel myself slipping further and further away from the things that truly mattered to me - friends, family, and fun. I watched everyone else happily living their lives but I was stuck on the sidelines of my own. Why couldn’t I be more like them? Happy… Carefree… Unafraid… Relaxed… Why was I trapped in a vicious cycle of anxiety, worry, doubt, and fear? I knew it was taking my life from me and finally, I got to the point where I said - NO MORE. I worked 1-1 with my own therapist. Ultimately, I got my life back. No more fear… No more saying “no” when I wanted to say “yes”... No more watching my life slip by without me really living it…

I believe that if we turn within, we can find the resources to deal with any problem and we can create a life of satisfaction, love and joy. My ideal client wants a safe, caring relationship in which to open up, share and be authentic. The journey to being oneself is very exciting and for me, therapy is about accepting oneself, expressing oneself and being honest. Doing this inner work with a guide naturally opens doors to connection and resolution of relationship and family problems and creates enthusiasm and a sense of satisfaction and purpose in one's 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.
