From childhood into adolescence and then into adulthood, we inevitably settle with beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. At some point, however, it's possible those very same beliefs that may have caused us to thrive, may cause us to feel uncomfortable. If you find the quality of your relationships, the self or with others, has lessened in quality, there is discomfort to some degree that is causing everyday functioning to diminish, and the acknowledgement that these come with an emotional cost, there are answers. And we will find them within YOU!

There's a strong, wise presence in us all - guiding our best actions. Sometimes we forget, doubt, reject this. Abuse, abandonment/neglect, trauma may have led to beliefs we're deficient, flawed - even deserving mistreatment and pain. Maybe we've been told - or heard - we must do or be certain things for love and acceptance. _______________________________________ Perhaps you're in touch with your inner strength and wisdom - more than you think - facing your challenges, seeking solutions to discover new ways of living and thriving. I am dedicated to supporting your journey - and welcome the opportunity to connect with you!

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.
