Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward" -kierkegaard. Pursuing additional support is one of the first steps towards therapeutic healing and growth. Although everyone's journey is different, my commitment as a counselor is to help with self exploration, empowerment and ability to uncover the underlying answers within themselves. Sometimes the most important healing tool is having someone to confide in that is safe and non-judgmental; as a counselor my hope is that I can be that support who will work with you towards finding your solace.

Relying on the help and support of others can be uncomfortable. You may be at the point in your life where you are in desperate need to talk to someone. Maybe you are struggling internally, pushing your feelings determined not to show them, afraid of backlash from friends and family, or dealing with this constant idea of being "normal." It is always the right time to explore where you are now, where you want to be, and how you can get to where you want to be. The great thing about this journey is that you don't have to do it alone.

Therapy is a collaborative relationship. I work with clients to develop a safe and trusting relationship that we can use to explore challenging interpersonal patterns, to work through stressful life events and conflicts, and to better understand the motivations underlying our behavior. Through the therapeutic relationship, we can develop an awareness of the impact thoughts, emotions, behaviors and interpersonal relationships have on the way we cope with life events. By understanding how the past impacts the present we can gain insight into our current issues and develop the skills to manage the challenges in our daily lives.

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.
