Family Therapy

& Parenting

​

Restoring and building connections between people lies at the center of my work with families. When family or parenting issues get in the way of having joyful and healthy relationships, I help each person communicate their needs and listen openly to others.

 

Common reasons parents and families come to therapy include:

• Adjusting to a new family member or baby

• Coping with child or teen behavioral problems

• Learning strategies to change difficult behaviors

• Implementing new parenting skills

• Improving communication skills

• Reducing conflict and managing anger 

• Dealing with addiction or mental health issues in the family

• Caring for elderly parents

• Co-parenting more effectively

• Managing issues related to blended families

• Supporting parents at their wits end!

I've worked with families of all kinds--from adult siblings wanting to improve their relationship, to parents and teens in conflict. I take the time to  learn each family member's perspective and understand the impact on the larger family dynamic. I enjoy helping families pinpoint what's not working, build on what is working, and find joy in their family connection.
