As an experienced Marriage and Family Therapist, I've journeyed with many families and individuals initiating a process of healing and personal growth in a safe and supportive space.
Searching for hope? There are many sources of anxiety, stress, and challenges in life. Life can be filled with unexpected changes, twists and turns leaving you feeling depressed. You can quickly struggle with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or even experiencing hopelessness. I believe people are doing the best they can and my clients often express feeling comfortable, safe, and free from judgment. Working together, we will figure out the source holding you back and teach you techniques to set you free, regain control and let go of fear and worry.

You feel disconnected and dissatisfied in your relationship. There’s lots of love, but no passion or intimacy. It often seems like you’re roommates living parallel lives rather than the passionate partners you once were. All of your time, energy and attention is on work and the kids, to maintain the wonderful life you have built together, but you have lost sight of each other. At the end of the day you’re just too tired to reconnect with your partner, which has caused great heartache and resentment. Your marriage has lost its zest, and you just don't know how to get it back. What happens if this continues? An affair? Divorce?

Dr. Tom was born in Israel and raised in florida in a family with unique values, which led her to a genuine appreciation for culture and individuality. Growing up with a Hebrew name that was frequently misunderstood in a primarily English-speaking society fostered cultural awareness from a very young age. However, this adversity combined with pride for her identity allowed her to recognize and embrace others’ diversity. The dichotomy of growing up in a suburban American society with certain outlooks, and then coming home to differing cultural perspectives helped her develop an expanded range of vision and acceptance of others.

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.
