As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I conceptualize each case through an attachment lens. I help clients gain insight into how their relationship with self and others has been shaped overtime and what steps they can take towards more healthy, stable and fulfilling relationships. This reflection and growth are especially vital to parents looking to understand and heal their own childhood wounds; while creating strong and healthy bonds with their children. In many cases, especially with adolescents, I support individual healing, while also seeking positive change within the family dynamic.

Family therapy can help promote better understanding, empathy and communication within family systems.   

Common reasons my clients seek family therapy:

• Navigating divorce
• Family conflict
• Trauma and/or grief and loss within the family
• Processing attachment wounds and adoption
• Families affected by addiction
• New/preparing parents looking for support and guidance

If any of the above scenarios resonate with your family, consider seeking family therapy. Family therapy is helpful to address family issues and heal wounds.

Some positive family therapy outcomes are:

• Strategies to develop and maintain boundaries
• A fostered sense of cohesion and communication among family members
• Promotes problem-solving through an understanding of family patterns and dynamics
• Builds empathy and understanding
• Reduces family conflict

Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, eating disorders, and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member is better off.
