We use an eclectic approach to family therapy and ensure that all parties involved feel heard and understood. We first like to hear from all parties what your goals and needs are in the therapy space, and how we can approach therapy in the most respectful way. The therapeutic space allows for slowing down of conflict patterns, which can assist with reaching resolution and understanding.

It might not be spoken about overly openly in society, but, the truth is it's not uncommon for any relationship dynamic to undergo tension at some point or another - especially in today's world. Having a neutral third party can be helpful in helping two (or more) people get on the same page. It's not about pointing out flaws or concluding who is in the wrong; instead, it's about finding alternative ways to view the situation and even learning how to see the situation from the other person's shoes.

Family relationships can be complicated. All families have their own patterns, and unique sibling and parents/child relationships. Often families hang onto pain and patterns from much earlier in life. I can help your family members communicate in different ways and challange and change long standing patterns within the family unit. I can facilitate healing from past events and misunderstandings, and shift your family relationships into different life stages.

Do you have trouble communicating with your kids, spouse, siblings, in-laws, or parents? If you are like most of us, you probably do! Families adopt certain rules for how people are to behave within the family, and more often than not, these rules contribute to unhealthy relationships and communication patterns. It is my job to help families understand and identify their dynamics, and work towards effective and healthy communication patters.

I provide a nurturing and inclusive space where all family members can come together to explore and heal relational dynamics. By fostering open communication, promoting empathy, and strengthening family bonds, I work collaboratively with families to address conflicts, improve understanding, and cultivate healthy patterns of interaction. Through this transformative process, clients can experience improved family cohesion, enhanced problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of one another. Family therapy offers an opportunity for growth, healing, and the building of stronger, more resilient relationships that can positively impact the entire family system.

Family therapy often benefits from a client-centered approach. Throughout our sessions, we will focus on communication and the openness to share one’s feelings honestly. Using exercises, we will work on improving communication, listening skills and emotional honesty. The use of behavior therapy may also be incorporated where we seek to recognize and change destructive behavior patterns. Use of these approaches encourages families to engage in healthy communication styles and break habitual cycles of unhealthy behaviors.

When working with families I aim to focus on common ground and shared hopes and goals. This sets the stage for collaboratively working through conflicts so that common goals can be achieved. Focusing on positive family experiences and strengths of the family are also helpful in reconnecting family members. Understanding relationship patterns and encouraging new ways of communicating and interacting often allows families to practice different ways of being with and understanding one another and can often alleviate tension for more pleasurable family experiences.

Family dynamics are complex. Whether it's communication breakdown, recurring conflict, or emotional disconnection, I help couples create a space where difficult conversations can happen safely and where they see how the intricacies of how the interactions with and between themselves must be fully addressed and understood so they can find the relational satisfaction they are looking for. This work supports members in understanding each other and moving toward healthier, more honest relationships.

Family issues can make you stuck in unhelpful patterns of interaction. Sometimes it is hard for families to deal with these issues on their own because emotions are high and perspectives can be so different. It can be helpful to seek support from an objective therapist. I can help you look beyond your individual hurt and anger so that you can find the root of your issues and work collectively toward your shared goal of mending and understanding each other.
