Something just isn't right, you are not yourself. Stress, anger, worry, sadness; it is building up and you can’t seem to shake it off. Things aren't going as planned, you are stuck, and what you doing just isn't working. You may even be experiencing self-doubt or acting in uncharacteristic ways. Where did this come from? What did I do to deserve this? How did I let this get away from me? Shame, guilt, blame, and negative thoughts are evident, it is getting hard to see the bright side. Your job, relationship, family, health, or peace of mind are at risk. It is time for a change and deep down inside, you know it.

You’re on a Journey now and it’s a journey that you don’t need to walk alone.

I understand the difficulty some people may have seeking counseling. The therapeutic journey begins with the decision to seek help. After making an appointment, the next major step is entering the counselor’s office. My goal of therapy is not to cure anyone, but rather to help people cope more effectively with specific issues and concerns. I help people find hope, clarity, understanding, and emotional courage. My therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is founded in the notion that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors. Essentially, when the client is ready "change is a just a thought away".

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.
