Family Therapy: Strengthening Connections & Building Understanding

Family therapy views the family as an emotional unit, where each member’s experiences and behaviors can influence the others. The focus is on the family as a whole and the dynamics that shape interactions, rather than isolating individual issues. For example, if an adolescent is struggling with behavioral challenges, the therapy will explore family patterns that may contribute to these behaviors, rather than focusing solely on the adolescent. By understanding the underlying sources of these struggles, families can work together proactively to reduce situations that may trigger negative behaviors.

The goal of family therapy is to foster collaboration, communication, and understanding among all members. I take a collaborative, compassionate approach to help you identify the root causes of conflict and create a harmonious, supportive home environment. Treatment may address:

• Managing parenting challenges

• Resolving conflicts between parents and children

• Navigating family transitions, such as a new baby or a blended family

• Coping with chronic stress

• Dealing with grief or loss

• Enhancing connection and emotional closeness within the family
