Supporting Healthier Relationships Within the Family

Family therapy offers a space for families to slow down, listen to one another, and better understand the dynamics that shape how they relate. When communication breaks down or conflict becomes the norm, it can be hard to know how to move forward without things escalating or shutting down. In family therapy, I help families identify patterns that create tension and work toward more supportive and respectful ways of connecting.

Families seek therapy for many reasons, including ongoing conflict, parenting challenges, transitions such as divorce or blending families, or concerns about how family stress is affecting one or more members.

How Family Therapy Can Help

Family therapy focuses on the relationships between family members rather than placing blame on any one person. The goal is to strengthen understanding and create healthier ways of interacting as a system.

Through family therapy, families often experience:

  • Improved communication and listening
  • Reduced conflict and emotional reactivity
  • Clearer roles, expectations, and boundaries
  • Greater empathy for each other’s experiences
  • A more stable and supportive family environment

My Approach to Family Therapy

My approach to family therapy is grounded in attachment-focused and psychodynamic principles, with attention to how family-of-origin patterns continue to influence present-day interactions. I help families slow down moments of tension so everyone can feel heard without escalation.

I work to create a space that feels structured, respectful, and emotionally safe, especially when conversations are difficult. Sessions are guided with care, helping family members understand their impact on one another while learning new ways to communicate and repair.
