Family therapy services in 80019: Aurora, CO. Relationship and couples counseling.

In family therapy, I draw on the work of both Virginia Satir and Michael White to create a collaborative space where each family member feels valued. Inspired by Satir’s emphasis on connection and authenticity, we explore family dynamics without placing blame on any one person, seeking instead to understand how certain patterns have taken shape. Using White’s narrative approach, we also look at the stories each person holds about their role within the family, inviting re-authoring conversations that foster empathy, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Together, we build on shared values to create a supportive, growth-oriented environment for all.

Family can be our main source of comfort and safety. It can also be a source of conflict, and difficulty. We spend the most time with our family, so if there's ongoing conflict, life at home can be tough. Family therapy is about getting to see the underlying needs in each other, and meeting those needs so that we can let go of the conflict and move forward. As humans, we all have the same needs and emotions, so they work as a universal language. I will help you get to the root of family conflict so you can all get your needs met and move forward.

Family therapy is based on the belief that each family is a unique social system with its own structure and patterns of communication. These patterns are determined by many factors, including the parents' beliefs and values as well as the personalities of all family members. I assist in identifying conflicts and anxieties and helping families develop strategies to resolve issues and strengthen family members so they can work on their challenges together. During therapy sessions, the family's strengths are used to help handle challenges and all members take responsibility.
