Family therapy addresses the needs of the family system as a whole. I work collaboratively with families in identifying problems, defining goals for treatment, and facilitating growth and healing within the context of the family. Family therapy helps to develop healthier patterns of interaction and communication, redefine roles and boundaries, and improve both individual and family functioning.

Family participation is essential when treating children and teens with emotional or behavioral problems. Sometimes children or teens struggle to express themselves effectively. As a family therapist, I work with caregivers and children to develop, practice, and master new skills that promote effective communication as well as strengthen the caregiver-child relationship.
