I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to mental health treatment promotion and prevention. With a psychodynamic foundation, I integrate Internal
family
systems(IFS) and attachment theories to my treatment approach. This approach is successful with clients seeking help with adulting, relationships, families, and parenting as well as individual therapy. As an open and affirming Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner I've learned that the integration of these talk modalities are helpful for navigating life processes. Talk therapy undergirds the treatment relationship and when necessary may be complemented with medication management.

You’ve had issues with anxiety or depression for as long as you can remember. You’ve worked so hard at overcoming your issues in the past and you fear that if you let yourself fully feel your sadness and anxiety, you won't be able to recover. Your
family
has told you that you are too dramatic, and this has caused you to not want to share your negative feelings with others. You worry that they may grow tired of your negativity. You need an outlet to talk through your feelings, but you can’t bring yourself to go to yourself to your friends and
family
again. Things could be worse, but you know life could also be so much better!

The quality of the relationship you have with your
family
's therapist is the key factor that predicts a successful outcome.
Are you worried about your child, but unsure what to do? Are you concerned about your child's social skills? Is it getting harder and harder to manage your child's emotional outbursts? Does your child suffer from excessive anxieties? Are you having the same conflicts with your child, but making no progress? Is your child having difficulty completing homework or work at school? Is your
family
going through difficult changes, like separation, divorce, or death of a
family
member? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to bring about the changes you want for your child and your
family
?

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.
