Therapy with me is a collaborative approach to learn how to process stressful experiences, how to cope and manage symptoms/ life stressors, and how to be vulnerable in a safe, nonjudgemental space. Therapy is a step you take for yourself when you are ready to make lasting changes in your life. As your counselor, I want to help you achieve your goals, navigate life changes, and process stressful experiences. Therapy can be challenging, and it can also be an enjoyable experience as well.

Are you struggling with communication in your relationship? Are you feeling stuck and overwhelmed as you transition to parenthood, a new job, or simply a new phase in life? Maybe you’re feeling anxious or low, and it’s affecting your day to day. We can work together to help you feel less isolated and more like your real self. I help clients who feel disconnected from themselves, or each other, find that connection. I especially love working with couples, mothers, and anyone who struggles with anxiety.

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.
