Family Counseling

Does your family have difficulty communicating?

Do you feel like your parents still don’t hear you even though you’re an adult? Have family secrets and traumas prevented you from being closer to your siblings? Do old arguments spring up every time you’re together? Whatever the reasons for your family strain, family therapy can help!

What is Family Therapy?

Family therapy is a unique opportunity for family members to meet together with a skilled and professional therapist to talk through issues creating stress, tension and distance. Families are an important source of support and love. When misunderstanding and disagreement goes unaddressed, frustration and tension pushes families apart. I can help your family explore your unique history and identify troublesome family dynamics to get you back on track. Siblings or parent and child dyads are welcome. If you and your family members are experiencing complicated family dynamics and feel they are impacting your ability to be loving to one another, then family therapy might be right for you.

Is Family Therapy Right for You?

Family therapy, or family counseling, is designed to help families come together to work collaboratively on issues causing family stress. The therapist helps family members identify the verbal and nonverbal communication styles they use in order to better understand one other in a trusted and supportive environment.
