Family Therapy in 75218
I specialize in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and am a Level 2 trained therapist.
When we feel overwhelmed, we get out of alignment emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically. This affects our nervous system and can show up as stress, lack of energy, overthinking, addictive behaviors, anxiety, and depression, etc. Trauma can be anything that overwhelmed us. Unresolved trauma drains our system of energy. As a holistic therapist, we address body, mind, and spirit to discover and heal what holds us back. My hope is to provide a safe space for you to access your internal healing wisdom, so that you can be present for what is difficult or painful, make the changes you want, and find greater energy.

Change is hard! I help people re-evaluate negative beliefs they are living with that have emerged from trauma, family issues and ways we've all been socialized.
Let me guess, you are overwhelmed, overworked, and let's be honest, selling yourself short. You've been taught that your needs matter less than the comfort of others, and your are wondering if you deserve to be in the room you've found yourself in (hello imposter syndrome). Despite that, you are likely doing okay? But you are just SO tired, or maybe the trauma you have experienced in life is holding you back in some really major ways. You might be working, navigating relationships, going to school, parenting, all while trying to care for your self and stay sane in the process. I get it. I've lived it, and I'm still healing from it.

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.
