Professional Family Counseling Services

You can transform your home into a place of support and understanding. Family therapy focuses on the patterns of communication and behavior that shape your household. I help families navigate transitions, resolve long-standing conflicts, and build stronger emotional bonds.

Navigating Complex Dynamics

Every family is a unique system with its own set of rules and challenges. I provide a neutral, supportive environment where every member can feel heard. My practice is inclusive of diverse family structures, including:

LGBTQ+ led households.
Polyamorous or multi-parent families.
Families navigating divorce or remarriage.
Blended families integrating different backgrounds.

Common Areas of Focus

We work to identify the "stuck" points in your family interactions. Our sessions address various needs, such as:

Communication Breakdowns: Replacing yelling or silence with active listening and clear expression.
Parent-Child Conflict: Bridging the gap between parents and children or teens to foster mutual respect.
Life Transitions: Coping with major changes like a move, a new family member, or a loss.
Behavioral Concerns: Addressing underlying emotional issues that manifest as behavioral problems in children or adolescents.

A Developmental and Educational Lens

My background as a K-12 educator gives me a unique perspective on child and adolescent development. I use this knowledge to help parents understand the "why" behind their child's behavior. We combine this insight with evidence-based techniques to create a more harmonious home life.

What to Expect

In family therapy, we often meet as a group, but I may also meet with individuals or pairs within the family. We focus on the health of the family as a whole rather than blaming a single person. You will learn practical strategies to set healthy boundaries, manage stress together, and support one another’s growth.
