Family Therapy

Our family relationships often set the blueprint for so much of our lives, for better or for worse. As we grow older, however, it can sometimes feel easier to set these relationships on the back burner - pushing aside whatever pain may exist in them, and avoiding the vulnerability of confronting them. Maybe the conversations feel too difficult to have, or you just don’t know where to start.

Family therapy is some of the most rewarding for me as a therapist. When people are able to push past the nerves of sitting across from a parent, child, or sibling, and show up with good faith and honesty in a conversation, the opportunities for repair and reconnection are astonishing.

My education as a Marriage and Family Therapist means I view most of my work through the lens of relationships, with our family relationships being our first experience of being connected to others. My job as a therapist is to help you make sense of things - what did it feel like to grow up in your family? What pain needs to be addressed, and what shared values and memories can make that process easier? What do you need to be able to move forward feeling less burdened in your family relationships?
