I use a variety of models to accomplish this including Gottman, Structural Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Sensorimotor and psychodrama/psychodynamic therapies.
Relationships never start off difficult. Disappointment, pain, betrayal, distance, emotional shut-off are all among the myriad reasons they become difficult. Often times the distance between two people can feel insurmountable. A trained and effective therapist is able to bridge that gap and provide guidance and support on the journey back to relational health. Research shows most people wait 6 years to seek therapy. By this time, the sparks of discontent have become a fiery inferno and the help of a professional is invaluable in the process of healing and reconciliation.

We used to be close, but everything’s turned into a mess of arguments and awkward silence. Our conversations have become this minefield of the unspoken, and the love we had has gotten lost in translation. It feels like all those talks and plans we had for our family are slipping through our fingers. I’m trying so hard and I can’t seem to fix it. It's not just fights – it's like we're stuck in a cycle, and it’s not getting better.

Accepting new clients! Hi there! Are you a woman with ADHD (or ADHD-like symptoms)? If so, then it's likely that you have experienced a lifetime full of challenges. While an ADHD diagnosis can be difficult for anyone, women often present with unique symptoms and needs that have long been ignored by the Mental Health Profession. Women with ADHD don't just struggle with the neurological difficulties that come with the disorder, but often struggle emotionally because of negative messages, unrealistic expectations, ignored symptoms/ misdiagnoses, and chronic shaming.

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.
