Family Counseling
Restore happiness in your household.
Our family affects who we are and who we become, in both positive and negative ways. We learn our vocabulary, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us. Anyone seeking healthier, closer family relationships can benefit from family therapy.
I work with families who are motivated to make positive life changes, improve interpersonal relationships, and promote emotional well-being within the family system. I am experienced in navigating complex family dynamics, so we will explore how past relationships and cycles of behavior impact your present family life and provide problem-solving methods and skill-building exercises you can call upon in family life.
When the whole family grows, each member is better off.
Areas we can explore together:
Adolescent self-harm
Adoption and blending families
Adult children and family conflict
Aging parents
Attitude problems and respect
Boundaries and limit setting
