As they encounter life transitions, struggle with things like self-esteem and peer/family conflict, I work towards empowering children and adolescents by normalizing their experience, helping them to identify their support resources, and highlighting coping skills that can assist them in creating small goals to better their mental health.
I've had the privilege of working with children and adolescents for the bulk of my professional career. From childhood to pre-adolescence to their teenage years, children encounter a multitude of life challenges that can feel debilitating without the appropriate skills and supports. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and inconsistencies in learning environments, children and adolescents have been struggling with newfound challenges, too - bullying, socializing, technology addictions, etc. Through my assessments, I will work towards identifying both short and long-term goals that will facilitate the overall mental health of each client.

I believe in the whole person. I believe that we are a product of not only our family values, but our environment, interpersonal relationships, goals, ambitions and ultimately our overall perspective of life. I believe mental health healing can be attained through a deep and impactful processing of these factors and how they either promote healthy functionality or significant struggle. Recognizing triggers, and utilizing appropriate coping alternatives can lead to not only holistic wellness, but valid and reliable strategies in the maintenance of mental health.

My areas of focus include anxiety, coping skills, depression, family conflict, amongst 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.
