At night you lie in bed wondering "Can this marriage really be saved?" You are so tired of feeling lonely, disconnected, and ignored. This is not AT ALL where you thought you'd ever end up. No more interesting conversations, no date nights, no fun, no sex. The thought "I can't wait to get home" turned into "Do I have to go home?" What happened? Will you ever reconnect with your spouse? Will you ever feel cherished and loved again? You've tried to fix it, but it didn't work. You got back defensiveness and criticism instead. You need HELP!. You can't do it alone. Should you stay or should you go?

People come to see me for a wide variety of reasons, but almost always, they feel stuck in some way—whether from difficult or volatile relationships, overwhelming thoughts and emotions, addictions, or the effects of trauma. I work with adults of all ages, kids, and couples, to figure out what’s keeping them stuck and unhappy, and to help them in getting freed up to live life in new ways. As a psychoanalytic therapist, I can help you cultivate a more integrated and accepting awareness of the different parts of your life, yourself, and your present experience. Our work together would be unique, based on you as an individual.

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.
