FAMILY THERAPY

Let go of what you have outgrown

Every family develops its own way of getting through hard things—who talks, who stays quiet, who keeps the peace, who takes care of everyone else. Those roles can become so familiar that no one remembers choosing them. But families can find new ways of being together, even after years of repeating the same old moves.

Whether you’re navigating conflict with a teenager, parenting together, repairing a relationship with an adult child, or feeling stuck in the same family roles you’ve carried for years, family therapy gives you a place to look at what keeps happening, understand how those patterns got there, and figure out what needs to change.

The people we love often bring out our strongest emotions

You might be here because…

You have gotten good at playing the version of yourself your family can handle.

You spend more time recovering from family time than enjoying it.

Now that everyone is grown up, you’re farther apart than you want to be — and you don’t know how to come back together.

Everyone knows what the problem is. No one wants to be the one to say it out loud.

You want a different relationship with your family — you just don’t know where to start.

How I work with families…

In family therapy, I pay attention to what happens between people in the room—not just who is having the hardest time or who seems to be causing the problem. We’ll slow things down, notice what each person does when tension rises, and create space for conversations that may have been difficult to have on your own.

I work with families across different ages and stages, including adult families trying to reconnect after distance, estrangement, or cutoff. Adult family sessions can be virtual or in person. When children or teens are part of the work, we’ll meet in person. With younger children, I often start with the parents so we can get a clearer picture of what’s happening and strengthen how you’re working together before bringing kids into the room.
