Family Counseling

When I first explored the path to becoming a therapist, it was the field of Marriage and Family Therapy that stood out to me most. It struck a chord—because for so many of us, family is where we feel our deepest love and, at times, our deepest hurt. I wanted to work in the space where that complexity lives. The more I studied, the more I understood the profound and lasting impact that families have in shaping how we see ourselves, how we communicate, how we handle conflict, and how we show up in the world.

Our earliest relationships from our nuclear families form the blueprint for everything that follows. Problem-solving, emotional expression, trust, and intimacy—they're all modeled in the family system. These patterns don’t stay contained to childhood; they follow us into our friendships, careers, partnerships, and even into the way we parent. That’s why the work of family therapy can be so powerful—because when a family changes its rhythm, it echoes through every part of life.

In session, I take an active, engaged role. I help create emotional safety, observe unspoken patterns, and name the dynamics that keep families stuck. From there, we do the real work: practicing new ways of speaking, listening, and showing up with one another. Whether it’s the growing pains of adolescence, the shifting roles that come with welcoming a newborn, or long-standing conflicts that have hardened over time—this is a space to have honest conversations, challenge emotional reflexes, and repattern your way forward.

My goal is to guide families toward a more intentional way of relating—where connection is restored, roles are realigned, and each member feels both heard and valued. I believe in the power of a corrective family experience. It doesn’t rewrite the past, but it can absolutely reshape the future.
