Do you struggle to communicate and live together as a family day to day? Collaborating in family therapy sessions will allow us to explore the unique patterns and legacies of your extended families, and increase awareness of current family member roles and dynamics. Over time, goals can include resolving conflict, building bridges to promote healing, learning healthy communication tools and fostering deep and meaningful connection with one another.

I love when children/teens and their parents all come in together. Some worry it will be awkward but I make a point to have it be relaxed and conversational. I help parents understand the social culture and stressors impacting their kids' lives, as well as help them express their concerns in ways that don't feel like lectures to their kids. In turn, I help kids to articulate their struggles in ways that their parents can appreciate and empathize with. Respect and responsibility is an important part of any work I do with families, and helping parents to balance their expressions of compassion with their need to hold their kids accountable is always part of the conversation.
