Overwhelmed? Maybe you need help moving toward a better, more positive future. Many people, particularly in the Second Half of Life, can use help dealing with general mental health issues such as relationships, depression, anxiety, grief and mood disorders. I help people like you and your family. I also work with adults with more complex/severe mental health issues, including those with issues of chemical dependency, personality disorders, severe trauma or losses. I am a practical therapist who believes that the primary responsibility of the therapist is to respect the integrity of the client. You are unique.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a private practice in Oklahoma City. (please refer to other profile for more details). I wanted a secondary profile to provide information about another aspect of my services - Divorce Management. As our society has become more complicated by the ever-changing economy and increased use of technology, our traditional concept of love, marriage, and raising children has caused weakening of family ties and more focus on adult satisfaction. Divorce has become normalized as an alternative to ‘sticking it out for the sake of the family’.

You don't have to be "crazy" to seek counseling. Some people are just stuck and need some help getting back on track. Others are at a point in life they're not sure what to do next, so they come to figure that out. Some people have relationship problems in the family or at work, and want help to work through it. Some have emotional problems, or are haunted by past events and want to break free of them. Still others are wanting to grow and develop a clearer sense of purpose, or gain a stronger sense of spirituality.

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.
