"[Her] use of the Gottman Method was very effective, and we deeply appreciate the way [she] walked us through every step—answering all of our questions with patience and clarity. [She] taught us how to recognize key cues in our conversations at home, and ensured we had the tools we needed to put what we were learning into practice."
"What stood out most was [Dr. Silva's] ability to really listen and understand us—not just as a couple, but as individuals. [She] gave us insight into our relationship and into ourselves that we hadn’t seen before."

What is systemic therapy and how is it different?Systemic therapy is relational therapy. It looks at your relationships, past and present, as the context for your present strengths and challenges. So, it aims to help you change your relationships in order to effect positive changes in your life.

How often do people typically need therapy?People come to therapy for different reasons and goals, so this is a difficult question to answer precisely. Generally speaking, clients can start seeing progress on their goals within 6 to 8 months of sessions every other week, assuming they’re consistently practicing learned skills out of sessions.

Hi there!
Trying to break with old, ineffective patterns and cycles can leave us feeling exhausted and hopeless. I'm here to help you gain clarity, vision, and make a practical plan. For the past 20 years in mental health and family therapy, I’ve been helping people find solutions based on a better understanding of who they are, what they want, and what they are willing to do.
I help people build better relationships -- with themselves, their partners, their families, and their communities.
I believe that "when we know better, we do better," and I strive to provide a safe and supportive space for my clients to think, experiment, learn, and thrive.
I was called to this field because of my interest in human behavior and I stay in it because I love to see resilience and growth.
