Let's take the journey towards living a happier, more satisfying life. I welcome you (individually, as a couple, or as a family) with respect, acceptance and a safe space. Part of the process involves slowing down, learning what's beneath the surface, and seeing relationships (relationships within yourself and with others) in new ways. Together we will address what prevents you from living your best life. My approach is eclectic, collaborative and strengths-based; informed by contemporary theories/modalities. I overcame obstacles in my own life and found contentment. I'm passionate about working with you to find yours.

I create a safe and nonjudgmental space where my clients feel at ease to work on their personal journey toward change. Oftentimes, it is what is not being said that becomes the focus of the session. Therefore, I help my clients develop a voice and find a way to effectively express their pain and struggles. I believe anxiety, fear, and pain are often obstacles to an individual’s growth. These emotions, along with one’s unhelpful thoughts and problematic behaviors, can be barriers to change. Therefore, I assist my clients in identifying therapeutic goals that are focused on freeing oneself from these roadblocks & barriers.

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.
