Addressing these issues can significantly improve family system, personal relationships, and even financial and career goals.
Therapy is a powerful tool for change and we all have the ability to reinvent ourselves. The limits we set on ourselves sometimes work as barriers toward our happiness. Therapy can help by strengthening one's focus, visualizing and recreating the life one wants to live, through effective goal-setting and self-management. I work with individuals, couples, and families in assisting with establishing goals, improving communication, decision-making, and maintaining an overall balance in life.

I also work with the entire family to improve communication, closeness, sibling and parent relationships.
I see therapy as a collaborative process every step of the way- from goal setting through achieving goals. I believe that each individual, couple, and family has a different way to relating to the world, and I treat each client based on their individual needs. We work together to identify strengths, and focus on what we know is already working. Then, together, we face challenges and build new skills to accomplish goals. I use therapeutic techniques that are designed to meet those goals (e.g. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-CBT, Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy-DBT).

Every day feels exactly the same. Bored and dissatisfied at work. Frustrated and struggling in your relationships. Disappointed and ashamed that you haven’t reached certain milestones by this point in your life. Nothing seems to be working. You’re embarrassed to talk to friends about it because you don’t want to be a burden. And when you finally relent and try to express yourself, no one understands. You’re not happy; that much is clear. You know that something needs to change, but you have no idea what to do. You’ve considered therapy before, but you always felt like you could figure it all out on your own. Now, you’re not so sure.

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.
