As a licensed Marriage and
Family Therapist
, I have continued the use of systems work within the
family
dynamic to help with improving communication, empowering parents, and help with marital and parental relationships with children: whether in young, formative years, to adult children needing guidance, and assisting in solving inter-generational problems.
We live in a world in which we must rely on relationships. The most common need I hear from clients is the desire to improve their personal and professional relationships. Improving these relationships goes a long way toward improving our own mental health. I have been helping individuals and families navigate important relationships and transitional times in their lives, by helping them find strengths within themselves to solve their problems. With a strong background in Organizational Development, I have worked with a variety of clients: from executives needing help organizationally to individuals finding their path in life.

Reading books, talking with
family
and friends helps, but it doesn't seem to get better, at least not for long.
Anxious, hopeless, helpless, lack of energy and motivation, overwhelming thoughts... this may be more days than you care to admit. You are hurting, exhausted and at the point where it is time to make some changes, but... the question of "how" remains. It's a difficult step to seek out help when experiencing painful times or issues, but step one is now done since you searched for a Therapist. Let's take control away from anxiety, stress, panic, fears, depressed thoughts and feelings or painful memories.

I also offer
Family
Constellation technique as a tool for
family
conflicts.
You can work through issues with a trusted, skilled and compassionate professional, in a safe, comfortable and distraction-free place. Your life may have layers of conflicts, suffering, faulty perception or maladapted behavior, but nothing is impossible for those who seek help. My approach to counseling encourages and supports you to discover, through self-knowledge, your own process for a sustainable self-empowerment, balance, and joy.

To your friends and
family
, you may appear fine. Inside, you feel anything but. Confusion, uncertainty, loneliness;things once simple now seem hard, even impossible. You find you're repeating the same mistakes over and again, don't enjoy the activities you once did, or struggle just to face the day. You want to feel better. Having the courage to end your anguish, resolve difficult personal problems, and regain your emotional grounding can be a difficult task. But it's a task you don't have to tackle alone. Making the first call is usually the hardest. I make it easy. Call me :)

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.
