Do you ever feel stuck? Like you’re in the same relationship over and over with a different face to the same problem? Or that if only you could do something different, life would feel better, but when the time comes you feel frozen? Feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns can be frustrating and frightening. The great thing is that you don’t need anyone’s permission to begin accessing your own power to live authentically and joyfully as yourself.

Please note: I am no longer accepting new couples therapy clients. I have occasional openings for individual clients. Introduction: My most common client is someone wanting to work on their marriage/intimate relationship. These clients typically feel frustrated, unheard, and anxious about the state of their partnership. Many don’t know how to achieve change in their marriage or what healthy/fair expectations would look like. Although the most common goal for my clients is to save their marriage or mend a broken connection, sometimes they specifically need help leaving a relationship that no longer serves them.

Participating in therapy takes bravery, humility, and strength and I applaud you for taking the first step towards personal growth and healing. I have spent the last fifteen years working with individuals struggling with mental health challenges in a variety of settings including schools, day treatment, residential, and inpatient hospitalization. While I enjoy working with a variety of populations and issues, I am particularly passionate about working with young adults, adults, and couples seeking to improve relationships, process life transitions, and increase personal alignment.

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.
