In our lives, we can reach depths that seem impossible to climb out of. In those moments, we tend to turn to our most trusted supports, be it a friend, a family member, or a coworker. However, what happens when, try as they might, those individuals cannot quite fill our cups the way we need? Sometimes we need something or someone different, that's where therapy can help. If you've reached an unbearable depth because of family conflict, past trauma, career or academic related issues, or just daily stressors, I can assist with being the ladder out of the darkness.

I believe to have change in a family you must work with the entire family. This means allowing each member to speak their truth. As individuals change, families change, and eventually environments change. Everyone belongs to a family, whether acknowledged or not. Healing occurs at the individual level and includes your mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial state. Whatever we cannot accomplish together, then we will work to identify resources that can.

I believe that becoming a human is an incredible achievement and that social, family and internalized experiences limit our ability to manifest our genius and joy.
Working with couples and men is awesome. My clients always surprise me with their intelligence and strength, even if muted by their immediate troubles. Focusing on the connection the couple does have, we can work on the skills to being our own individual within the relationship. Working with men often involves negotiating the contradictions the world presents, attending to power differentials and how they impact our inner world, discovering where our habits developed and how we want to change and grow who we are in the world. I utilize a multitude of maps to offer my clients impactful and effective interventions.

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.
