I see counseling as a partnership between client and therapist. As a trained family counselor, I work with couples, parents with their children and with individual adults . I believe that generally people's behavior is an attempt to have their needs met and that by listening and honoring their efforts , counseling can help them redirect their efforts in a more effective and healing manner. I integrate my extensive experience as a child & family social worker with counseling practices to support couples and families ( including step&,foster-adopt families) to blend, communicate and heal from conflicts & separations.

People struggle with so many life challenges from personal decisions, decisions of others that affect us, life transitions, and just stressors of the world we live in. Clients that are ready to do the hard work of sharing their stories and exploring different ways of thinking and feeling are exactly those whom I am ready to walk beside to do sometimes hard, and always rewarding, work.

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.
