At its core therapy is about having a place where your story is heard and you are seen as the whole person you are. I have a devotion toward helping women and very young children and have years of experience focused on trauma, abuse, infertility, anxiety, depression and family issues. I have worked with kids as young as two and am so amazed by their resiliency and ability to process through play. Women and men come in thinking they are alone with issues related to infertility, parenting, sexuality, and more because these are not things people talk about openly but life is messy and having a safe place process it helps.

As part of Chenal Family Therapy PLC, I consult with our team of therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered.
Do you feel lost when you're away from peers or friends? Does solitude bother you? Has your fear and anxiety increased since the coronavirus pandemic started? I would love to help you learn and apply proper coping skills and use this time as a tool to develop a better self-connection and achieve satisfaction with life. My ideal client can be of any age. They are falling behind academically or in their career although they are intelligent, they have a big group of friends who adore them, yet they feel alone or depressed. These individuals are looking for lasting happiness in their private 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.
