I have had extensive experience working with families in regards to emotional regulation, depression, trauma, anxiety, family relationships, and crisis intervention. My caseload largely consisted of adolescent youth having areas of need focusing around stabilization in the community. One of the largest considerations is their own desire to change, grow, or pursue their goals, which is normally a pillar to their treatment. A client looking to learn more about themselves, identify areas of need, and strive toward achieving their goals would benefit greatly from the treatment I can provide.

Being a LMFT means to me that the focus of treatment is to improve relationships. I believe the most important relationship in a persons life is the relationship they have with themselves. In my experience people often treat others much better than they treat themselves. I enjoy going on a therapeutic journey with people to help find themselves, to find that compassion that they give to others and to learn that they too deserve that same love and compassion. I like to use art as a way of expression (when needed) with my clients because I believe that art can communicate what words sometimes cannot.

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.
