Yakima, WA 98901
Even if you have loving friends and family willing to listen, counseling is a whole different experience.
Everyone has problems. Pretending to be fine when you're not is exhausting. When you meet with me, you don't have to keep up any pretenses. You can take your mask off. We can get into what is really underneath your suffering. If you're like most human beings, there's probably a lot of fear and shame related to trauma and troubled relationships. Chances are you are struggling with an addiction of some form or another. The path to greater mental and emotional health can often feel like a steep mountain trail that never ends. It can help to have an experienced guide to help you along the way!

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.
