Family therapy will help you develop skills to deepen family connections & get through stressful times, whether some or all family members attend.

I welcome your inquiry.

I leverage a solution-based approach to clearly outline your primary challenge, work through an exercise to meditate on and define your future state and then work over 8 sessions to achieve it via homework and 1:1 sessions. Clients have experienced great success with this approach, my goal is to empower you - YOU have the answers and I want to help you find them.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

There will be an identified individual within the family who will be the main focus however, family will be helped with this integration as whole to well use direct communication to solve the conflicting issues among family members. There will be some role playing in the session. During family sessions, there will be no intimidation, bulling, name calling and no outburst or out of control. Rules will be set at the very first meeting.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.

My approach to family therapy involves working with family members to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. Utilizing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach and Structural Family Therapy, I help families identify and address dysfunctional patterns, establish healthy boundaries, and develop effective problem-solving skills. By fostering a supportive and collaborative environment, I aim to enhance family cohesion and promote a more harmonious and fulfilling family life

My approach to family therapy includes understanding the many systems effecting the members of the family, exploring the roles and how they might change within the unit, and supporting the family in learning new ways to communicate and new ways to relate to one another. I examine and challenge the boundaries of the family, and help them figure out and challenge their typical patterns.
