Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns with your family? Are small disagreements turning into ongoing conflict? Do you long for more connection, understanding, or peace at home?
Our family affects who we are and who we become, both for the better and for the worse. We learn our vocabulary, our habits, our roles, and how we see ourselves and others. When pain, distance, or dysfunction grows within the family, those patterns can begin to feel permanent. But with the right support, change is possible.
Family therapy offers a space to make meaningful changes in how your family connects, communicates, and moves through challenges together. Whether you're navigating a transition, recovering from a rupture, or trying to better understand each other, this space is built for healing and growth.
Common reasons families seek therapy include:
Divorce or separation
Parent-child conflict
Sibling rivalry or disconnection
Launch or failure to launch
Empty nest adjustment
Death or illness in the family
Blended family challenges
Mental illness in the family
Substance use or addiction
Families with young children or teens
Life transitions affecting the whole system
Family therapy may include all members or specific pairings such as parent and child or siblings. We tailor the process to meet the needs of your unique family system.
In our work together, we may focus on:
Strengthening emotional connection and communication
Developing healthier boundaries and family roles
Identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns or generational cycles
Building empathy and perspective-taking across members
Supporting each person’s voice while fostering unity
Navigating life transitions with greater clarity and care
My approach to family therapy includes:
Attachment theory to explore how our intimate relationships shape connection, behavior, and emotional safety within the family.
Systemic theory to understand how each member’s role is influenced by and affects the whole family system.
The Gottman Method to support communication skills and gain practical, tangible tools, especially during conflict or emotionally charged moments.
Structural family therapy to help restructure roles, align boundaries, and create healthier interaction patterns within the family.
Many families share that having a neutral, compassionate space to slow down and engage with each other in a different way makes all the difference. When the family as a whole begins to grow, each individual benefits.
Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, eating disorders, and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member has a stronger foundation to grow, too.
