Family Therapy

How I can help

Family time should bring connection, not tension.

I am a family systems psychotherapist and work with families confronting complex mental health, behavioral, and relational challenges. Often I see families when they feel they are at their breaking point. My approach is direct. Together we look at your family dynamic and how each family members actions affect others and the family unit as a whole.  After discovering the emotional underpinning of the conflict we will explore, discuss, and seek solutions for collective answers.

Whether your family includes yourself and your aging parents, or you, your spouse and your children, or you and your siblings, I can help you untangle years-long emotional patterns that have become seemingly impossible to navigate on your own.

The goal of treatment may depend on the family’s unique problems, but the main purpose of therapy is to restore trust and connection.

What We’ll do in Family Therapy…

To start, I meet with each family member individually to ensure everyone’s concerns are heard and understood. This helps me hold space for each person’s unique perspective and needs.  Ultimately, family therapy is a collaborative process where everyone’s voice is heard. Our sessions will be a safe and supportive space for open, honest conversations, where you can uncover insights and try out practical tools to bring home. The goal is to nurture understanding, ease conflict, and help your family rebuild the trust and connection that bring you closer.

Frequently asked questions about family therapy

  • Anyone experiencing challenges within their family relationships can benefit from family therapy, whether it’s parents, children, siblings, or extended family members navigating conflict, transitions, or communication issues.

  • The length of therapy varies depending on your family’s needs, but many families see improvements within 8–12 sessions, while others may require longer-term support.

  • Not always—sessions can be tailored to include specific members based on the issues being addressed and the goals of therapy.

  • It’s common for some members to feel hesitant at first. Therapy can still be effective even if not everyone participates, as change in one part of the system often impacts the whole family.
