Today’s families have so many outside influences that can disrupt the family system and get in the way of cohesiveness, communication and connection.  I help families deal with many of life’s adjustments, such as:  Blended families, families who are grieving a loss, those who are navigating the addiction of a family member, or families navigating the teenage years of their children.  In family therapy, I work with the entire family, rather than treating just one family member individually.  I help family systems to better understand each member of the system, learn how their unhealthy patterns of relating to each other get in the way of connection and balance, and help each individual in the system identify their role in that pattern.  I help families learn how to effectively communicate, set healthy boundaries with one another and have healthier conflict, in a safe and supportive environment.
