I am a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of clinical experience in the treatment of children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My primary goal when providing therapy is to help patients move as quickly as possible from a place of suffering to a place of joy, enthusiasm, and excitement. This is true for both the children I treat, as well as for the adults. My focus is always on the strengths of the patient, and not on pathology or deficits. In order to help patients create change quickly in their lives I utilize a number of effective treatment modalities.

Many of our problems can stem from our perceptions and distorted thinking. People are able to survive and conquer so much more then they believe is true. I have twenty years of experience as a therapist with a wide range of issues. My approach is more eclectic as I believe that different people require different approaches. However, my background and schooling focused on marriage and family therapy. Also, I use a lot from cognitive behavioral therapy which focuses on a lot of our faulty perceptions. We live in such a fast paced society that we often just need to simplify.

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.
