Healing Through Connection

Creating Stronger Connections and Healthier Communication

Family counseling provides a safe, supportive space for families to work through challenges, improve relationships, and build healthier patterns of communication. As a child psychologist, I offer family counseling services that help families navigate conflict, transitions, and emotional stress in ways that promote healing and understanding.

Family counseling involves working with multiple members of a family—parents, children, or caregivers—to address concerns that affect the family as a whole. These may include communication problems, behavioral challenges, parenting struggles, or the emotional impact of major life changes such as divorce, relocation, or loss.

Rather than placing blame, family counseling focuses on how the family system functions and how each member can contribute to a healthier dynamic.

Family counseling can be especially helpful when a family is experiencing:

• Frequent conflict or communication breakdowns
• A child or teen with behavioral or emotional concerns
• Major life transitions (divorce, remarriage, blended families, etc.)
• Co-parenting challenges
• Grief, trauma, or other emotional stressors affecting the family unit

The goal is to foster resilience, connection, and cooperation among family members.

Each family is unique, and counseling sessions are tailored to your specific needs. In general, family counseling may include:

• Joint sessions with parents and children
• Opportunities for individual voices to be heard
• Skill-building for communication, problem-solving, and emotional regulation
• Exploration of family roles, patterns, and relationships
• Tools for resolving conflict and rebuilding trust

Sessions are conducted in a respectful, nonjudgmental space where all family members are encouraged to participate actively and openly.

My approach to family counseling draws from evidence-based practices and emphasizes the developmental needs of children, while also supporting parents and caregivers in their roles. I work collaboratively with families to identify goals, strengthen bonds, and create lasting positive change.sions are designed to help clients heal from the effects of trauma, such as PTSD, childhood abuse, and sexual assault. We use evidence-based treatments, such as EMDR and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), to help clients process their trauma and develop coping skills to manage symptoms.
