I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for over 36 years and I am also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Over the years, I have realized how little support there is for people living with and affected by Diabetes, Types 1 and 2. For that reason, I set up a counseling practice to do just that - support Diabetics and those close to them who may be dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety and/or needing better coping skills. For more information, check out my website: www.denverdiabetescounseling.com. I hope to meet and support you soon!

The therapeutic approach I use most often is Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Hi! :) I frequently work with women who are trying to leave or have recently left an abusive relationship. You might notice you want to find independence and discover your identity outside of the relationship and are still impacted by the pain you went through. We will explore attachment wounds, trauma(s), and/or other emotional burdens that need attention and relief. We will work together to help you find ways to move forward with your life in a new, healthier direction. I also work with folks who have unresolved childhood trauma and notice symptoms of discomfort that they are ready to leave in the past.

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.
