Family
Therapy

Families can end up stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed when communication is out of alignment and may benefit from an outside party to be present during discussion to safely reach more productive outcomes.  Family therapy may help to highlight what's going right if these aspects are being missed. I am flexible to what the definition of family means and looks like to you and happily work with folks in nontraditional partnerships and chosen family.

​​

Many relational shifts within a family system prompt one member to seek support for the family together in order to work through complicated feelings or a shift in household dynamics.

​​

During family therapy we can work on understanding through compassion, listening and showing up fully to the best of our ability.  There is safe space for all parties to bring actions and reactions and attempt to guide any shifts of perspective once everyone feels seen and heard more clearly, affirming one another's presence.  As your therapist, I aim to provide a calm moderating presence.
