Family Therapy

The goals of Reunification Family Therapy, regardless of the jurisdiction, are generally centered around promoting healthy and positive parent-child relationships, facilitating the reunification process, and supporting the well-being of all family members involved. Here are some common goals of reunification therapy: Rebuilding Parent-Child Bonds. Addressing Emotional and Psychological Challenges. Promoting Healthy Communication.Providing Education and Support. Enhancing the Child's Well-being.

Family therapy can include adult siblings with their parents or teenagers with their parents or adult siblings alone. Through structure-guided conversation, whatever issues have created difficulties in the family, they can begin to heal.

My focus and track in graduate school was couples and families and I have continued my work since constantly obtaining new education and reading about techniques.

There are various fictions floating around about what it takes to be a perfect family. However, the emphasis on perfect is destructive, because it’s an impossible goal. The point is more to have a loving, well-functioning family where kids are cherished and supported to become thriving, fulfilled adults who themselves know how to have good (not perfect) relationships. This always requires constant adaptation and tinkering. I love working with motivated families!

Everyone in the family makes a difference in the family. Working together and finding out what needs to be broken will began a healthier path.

Goals of family therapy often include improving the communication, solving family problems, understanding and handling special family situations, and creating a better functioning home environment.

I work with the entire family to improve communication, increase connection and restore harmony.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I think systemically about how issues effect the family. For instance, if a teen and their parent(s) are experiencing conflict, what is everyone's role in that conflict and the family system? How can we unpack and change patterns of communication that may be harmful or passed down generationally? I enjoy helping clients think creatively about conflicts where they might feel stuck.

Integrating family into the work with children and adolescents is key and family therapy is a big part of the work I do. For young people struggling with disordered eating, I am also trained in Family Based Therapy specifically for supporting families in feeding their child.

I have 2 years post masters training in family therapy. I am an approved supervisor with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy ( AAMFT). I have been a practicing family therapist for over 30 years. Besides therapy, I have provided supervision, consultation, and training in working with families in various settings both here and abroad

We specialize in family therapy for teens and adolescents, helping families strengthen relationships, improve communication, and navigate conflicts. Adolescence can be a challenging time, and we provide a safe, supportive space for teens and their families to express themselves, rebuild trust, and develop healthy communication patterns. Whether facing behavioral challenges, parent-teen conflicts, or emotional disconnect, we help families grow stronger together. Healing starts with understanding.

Family therapy is beneficial at appropriate times. I work with the client and family to works towards solutions best for all involved, rather than living in a problem. It is a great process to watch grow and learn as individuals as well as a family.

As a family therapist, I see families as interconnected systems where changes for one member can ripple through the entire family. My role is to guide your family through these changes. In my office, everyone is encouraged to participate—because the more voices, the richer the insights and outcomes! I specialize in improving communication and mutual understanding among family members as you adapt and overcome challenges together.

Families can be the most joyous experience in anyone’s life but also the most challenging and sometimes heart breaking. These are the people you are the closest with in your life and share a deep bond with. I look at everyone’s perspective in the challenges that they face and work together to find the best possible outcome. Everyone’s voice should and will be heard when we work together.
