As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I like to focus on how the different parts of your life fit together or maybe aren't fitting right now.
Are you doing ok in your life, but you just want to be more content and at peace with your relationships and other life goals? If you're not satisfied with your current heading, relationships, or other aspects of your life and you want to work on improving those areas, then I would love to work with you. Whatever depression, anxiety, or compulsive habit that weighs you down we can work on improving, and I promise to hear you out and walk you through it. My overall goal for each of my clients is to help them increase their awareness of themselves and their situation as well as apply their insight to making positive life changes.

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.
