Your child, and you, can both learn ways of communicating and coping that can once again lead to the connected family life you want both of you to have.
It can be difficult to watch your child suffer. It is even more difficult to decide that you can't help and need to bring in an outsider. From the age of 11 on, children begin navigating more complex emotional lives. It can be difficult to deal with these big feelings when you don't have the vocabulary or tools to communicate what's going on. When your child speaks through behavior instead of words, you get things like bad grades, self harm, statements like "I hate myself" and "I'm a bad kid," drug use, sneaking out, and more.

My private counseling practice offers services to individuals, couples, family and children whose past trauma and or mental health interfere with their daily life.
I have witnessed the value of resilience through healing. In my practice, I work with clients to offer individualized treatment to who you are as person, rather than cookie cutter services. The stigma associated with therapy and mental health, especially in the minority communty is damaging. Our fear of looking “crazy”, especially in todays' society continues to hold us back. You are not crazy for getting the help you need. You deserve to heal. Your community needs you to heal so you can give back in a healthy way. Your healing is your community healing.

Sometimes, we are overwhelmed with trials or life-events, that may become chaotic life stressors, or an issue that seemingly stunts our growth. Many individuals wrestle with these life incidents that by design cause mental and/or emotional affects that manifest outwardly. Living a life with mental wellness, and emotional stability allows us to comfortably build self-confidence, and face life challenges. In therapy, it is important to build a supportive, nonjudgmental, and an emotionally-safe environment for clients to explore and work through their concerns.

You have it all. The job, the partner, the family. People are impressed with how you juggle it all, but you don’t like how you show up in each arena of your life. You never feel like you are fully there, fully yourself. You feel like you’re just “doing” things to keep up the facade of being a nice person. But it feels fake and unfulfilling. You are proud of what you have, but you aren’t proud of who you are being. Your life looks perfect from the outside, but on the inside, it feels off.

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.
