Therapy can help you reach your specific goals such as improved relationships, working through a difficult past, or a recent life transition. When working with children, I seek to understand their perceptions, while bolstering their reasoning and communication skills. The ways in which we reflect on our stories are evolutionary and developmental, changing over time.

If you are a parent, child, or family that would like to be met with unconditional positive regard and be celebrated for your strengths and abilities, I would be thrilled to help you along your journey.
One of my passions as a therapist is to help shape everyone's understanding of the value of mental health treatment whether it is for yourself or your child(ren). Redefining "treatment" as a preventive exercise for yourself to unlearn old patterns and create new paths to feel great is my goal. Shame and stigma need to removed from our society's view of therapy and that is one standard I aim high for in my work. Prepare to laugh and have fun too. Therapy can be hard at times but it should bring out the best in us!

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.
