Helping the family reach a new level of cohesion
Family therapy is structured, paced clinical work to repair family relationship when there have been months or years of unhealthy communication and interaction patterns. I look at the whole family is the client because everyone has played a role in where the family is now.
My role is clinical and neutral. I am there to help improve all relationships involved - parent-child, parent-parent and child-child. Family members walk away from sessions having developed more understanding of one another.
Who this is for
- Families with parents and children of all ages and backgrounds
- Post-divorce families trying to navigate their next chapter
- Blended families struggling to create a new family identity
How it works
- Intake conversation with each member of the family
- Family sessions working together to understand and correct unhealthy communication and interactions
- Step by step work to accomplish family goals — paced, interactive, never rushed
- Adjustment to frequency of sessions as relationships improve
Parenting
There is no manual for parenting, yet you are doing your best. I help you build the structure, patience, and skills to lead your home with confidence and enjoy it along the way. You will learn how to have difficult, needed conversations with your children and how to maintain a healthy structure in your home.
Kids and Teens
Growing up is hard for everyone - especially kids! Here, I help with kids understand themselves and develop skills to communicate with parents rather than shutting down. I help them go from seeing their parents as annoying authority figures to I help them go feeling insecure, scared or intimidated by their future to being empowered, optimistic and ready.
Family Cohesion
Maybe your family feels fractured. Together, we create a new rhythm with shared values, healthier patterns, and a home that feels connected instead of chaotic. Your family will learn how to healthily communicate and create a family culture that brings you together in the smooth seas and storms of life.
