Family Therapy
Families have a way of doing the same things over and over.
They bond in familiar ways and argue in the same ways, even when it stops working. I help families find new ways to communicate, experience themselves and family members differently, overcome (sometimes long-standing) conflict, and learn to be together in healthier ways.
When families come to me, they want to address things like:
Adult children and parents issues
Family estrangement and reunification
Communication issues (especially during transitions)
Coping with a family diagnosis of chronic or terminal illness
Mother / daughter issues
Addressing codependence and boundary issues
Boundary setting
I’m trained specifically in how to help family units get unstuck, reduce conflict, and interact with each other in new ways.
If this sounds like your family, reach out and let’s work together.

Grandma’s china isn’t the only thing that families pass down from generation to generation. Along with heirlooms and tchotchkes, families create and pass down emotional legacies. Grandparents and parents model to children how to treat others, how to behave in social situations, and how to build healthy relationships. And like heirlooms, some of these patterns deserved to be cherished and passed forward. Others? Not so much.
