I believe in engaging the whole family by promoting everyone's resilience and capacity for growth and change.
I have over 15 years experience providing best practice therapy interventions to children, adolescents, adults and their families. My focus is working with children and young adults who have experienced traumatic incidents, adjustment and attachment concerns, grief and loss and depression and anxiety. I equally appreciate my work with adults who have endured their own past traumas and life stressors and are seeking new clarity and balance in their lives. I also have extensive background with parents whose children have recently disclosed trauma and/or abuse and who are need of their own support systems.

I work best with an individual client, couple, or the family of a child or adolescent that recognizes that what they have been trying to do to deal with their life or behavioral issues is not working well, and they are now open to finding understanding, and trying new approaches to old, or recently acute problems. My experience has been that most couples really want to save their marriage or other family relationships and will do the work necessary to build a new and loving relationship.

My clients want to make changes that improve their quality of lives, careers, and relationships. I focus on couples, addiction, grief, trauma, life transitions, professional burnout, finding purpose, and spirituality. I connect well with mid-career professionals and people who have had that nagging sense of wanting something more. I also work with couples post-treatment from addiction. I see my role as a confidential member of the client's support system, a mirror, and exploration guide.

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.
