Growing as a family is hard. Pregnancy and childbirth can be triggering. Perhaps you’re a seasoned parent who is starting to catch glimpses of your own parents in yourself despite your best attempts to avoid exactly that. Or, maybe you have a creative teen who has been struggling navigating today’s world, and it's been hard to find a therapist that "gets it" that you can trust to help. You just want some relief as you find your way through this phase in life.

My greatest passions are people, nature, life itself, and music. I come to the counseling room with the background of having been a board-certified music therapist for 20+ years. Through life, I’ve discovered my passion for understanding others and how they navigate through life’s adventures. I understand the vulnerability it takes to be willing to sit with oneself in hard times, and more importantly, with a stranger to talk about difficult things, and I honor that process with each person I meet. I believe life is about living and finding joy. Some of my greatest learning experiences have come through life and introspection.

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.
