Choosing a therapist can seem like a daunting task. I believe the most important element of my job is to create a safe, nonjudgemental environment that helps you to explore feelings, history and conflicts. If I accomplish this task, you will be able to achieve a new level of understanding and resolution. It has been my good fortune to experience the personal growth of my clients throughout my many years of practice. I hope to engage in this type of relationship with you.

With the senior population we focus on understanding and accepting their bodies with their possible limitations, while also dealing with their isolation and family relationships.
We all need someone to talk to! Life can be challenging and sometimes just reaching out for "a soft place to land" can be very beneficial. I have been in practice for many years and have worked with various age populations. Although the mind and body goes through some aging processes, the central themes typically remain the same: sadness over losses- spouses, children, friends, finances and our changing bodies. We experience common feelings of loneliness, fearfulness, isolating, and adjusting to the new "norm" for each of us. We can explore these feelings together. With my patients we focus on their individual needs and strengths.

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.
