Family Therapy
Is your family system experiencing distress?
Are there unhealthy roles and responsibilities within your family that need restructuring?
Is your family stuck in patterns that keep its members from closeness and connection?
Has your family been wounded by a betrayal or breach of trust?
Is your family navigating a tough life transition?
Restore connection, build healthy and secure patterns of relating.
I work with family systems, helping them to restore connection, restructure roles, and build secure patterns of relating.
As a systems-trained therapist, my approach combines the experiential modality of Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) with the practicality of Structural Family Therapy. EFFT focuses on deepening relating and establishing secure attachment between family members. Structural Family Therapy considers the importance of communication patterns, family rules on functioning, and healthy roles and responsibilities. During session, I may utilize holistic strategies such as mindfulness, grounding exercises, and somatic work to deepen your experiences.
“Families” are individual and unique. A family can be a traditional parent and child(ren) system while it can also be siblings, in-laws, adult children, and extended family. Whatever your family looks like, I welcome the opportunity to work together.
