I provide family therapy for families navigating conflict, communication difficulties, parenting challenges, transitions, and relationships that have become strained or stuck. Rather than locating the problem in one person, family therapy gives us a chance to understand the patterns between people and experiment with new ways of relating to one another.
Family Therapy in Los Angeles
“In all cultures, the family imprints its members with selfhood. Human experience of identity has two elements; a sense of belonging and a sense of being separate. The laboratory in which these ingredients are mixed and dispensed is the family, the matrix of identity “- Salvador Minuchin
Family therapy can be supportive for families navigating big changes, including divorce, family blending, grief and loss, illness, or supporting a family member experiencing mental health or substance use challenges. It can also help families grappling with parenting challenges, child or teen anxiety or depression, persistent conflict, communication breakdowns, or feelings of disconnection.
Family therapy creates space for each family member to be heard while helping us notice the patterns and dynamics that contribute to tension, conflict, and disconnection. Together, we can problem-solve and practice new, more empathic and resilient ways of relating that make room for greater safety, belonging, support, and closeness within the family.
