My ideal client will allow me to help him or her to grow and to heal. This requires the client believe in the possibility of trust, hope, and change. The ideal client is honest and willing to take some risk. Just coming to a counselor is a big risk!

Not accepting new clients
Life is hard, no matter how you slice it. The birth process is traumatic for both mother and infant. Aging, sickness, and death are unavoidable parts of life. So are transitions, losses, and uncertainties. This is nobody's fault. It's not a punishment. This is "life on life's terms." None of us can manage the challenges of this life entirely on our own. We all need support, especially at times of loss and transition. If you, a family member, or loved one ages 14 and up are dealing with grief and loss, uncertainty, anxiety, depressive symptoms, processing trauma, or adapting to life changes, I'm here to help.

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.
