Imagine spending more time with friends and family, and actually enjoying it! I want to help you get there.
You woke up one day and realized that this was not the life you wanted or expected. Depression, anxiety, Postpartum Mood Disorders or other issues have left you feeling wrung out, stressed and useless. You don't do anything that takes real effort or makes you vulnerable in any way. Your relationships aren't fulfilling. You feel like you need a time out from life and so fill your free time with the internet or TV. You compare yourself to the pretty lives shown online and wonder 'why not me?'. You just want to stop feeling this way-- and fast.

Intrusive thoughts can be scary and overwhelming. Compulsions can seem inescapable. Anxiety can come without obvious reasons and can make our days difficult and exhausting. Anxiety, fear, sadness, and shame can affect our day-to-day lives. Sometimes we can feel that these emotions are consuming our thoughts and actions. Therapy can help people understand and manage these emotions.

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.
