FAQs

What is family therapy like?

1

We look at the pattern your family is caught in—the roles, the reactions, the moments where everyone gets pulled in. We slow everything down, explore what each person is feeling and needing, and build new ways of relating that create more safety and connection at home.


What kinds of families come to family therapy with you?

2

I work with adult families navigating conflict, distance, estrangement, unresolved hurt, major transitions, or the impact of trauma or loss. This includes siblings, parent–adult child relationships, blended families, and multi-generational dynamics.


Do you work with families in crisis or high conflict?

3

Yes. Many families come in during moments of high distress. Together, we create enough stability to understand the cycle you’re in and build new ways of communicating and reconnecting.


How do we know if family therapy with you is right for us?

4

If there’s tension that keeps resurfacing, conversations that always go sideways, or emotional distance that feels painful, family therapy can help you understand what’s happening and shift the pattern together.

If you want to get a sense of fit, we can start with a free phone call.


What family therapy approach or modality do you use?

5

My work is grounded in attachment-based, trauma-informed care with influences from Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), EFT, and systems thinking. We focus on the emotions and needs driving the pattern—not on blame.
