The human nervous system is designed to function in the context of community, allowing us not only to survive, but thrive in groups where we feel we belong. Family is where we initially learn how to feel safe, show love, and work together but it can also be the place where trauma, grief, and differing worldviews create disconnection and anger. Where there is hurt in families, there is also the capacity for healing and rewiring how we approach relationships in the future.
​
​Family therapy is designed to address your 'stuck' points in an experiential ("in the present moment") manner. Together, we will facilitate connection via communicating effectively, processing past hurts, and becoming aware of how our individual stressors dominate our responses in the context of our family. We will get curious about what each family member brings into interactions and how their lived experience continues to play out in their relationships.

Whether you're seeking therapy for you and young children/teens or adult children, parents, siblings, or adoptive/chosen family members, family therapy is effective for family members of all ages and relationships. With a focus on attachment and interpersonal neurobiology (how our nervous systems play off of the nervous systems around us and impact our relationships), we will navigate issues of separation/divorce, estrangement, trauma, grief/loss, adoption, and life transitions together.
