I have pivoted to include telehealth services after recognizing that virtual therapy allows people to take a break from their workday and not lose evening hours, when they often manage busy family, community, and social lives.
Life is full of unexpected challenges. How well or poorly we handle these challenges affects our confidence, self-esteem, and how we navigate through day-to-day life. If you’re struggling, it’s not your fault. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults with career and life stressors, who have experienced trauma, are navigating life adjustments, and facing relationship conflicts and infidelity. If you are looking for someone to navigate this journey with you and teach you skills to foster your own resilience along the way, give me a call.

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.
