In-Person and/or Virtual Sessions

Through a combination of individual and joint in-person and/or virtual sessions with you and your family members, we will meet to explore the patterns you fall into that create feelings of being disconnected from one another. Whether participating family members are children, teens, or adults, feeling stuck is painful and results in unmet needs. Improving connection, communication, and understanding goes a long way to having the secure relationships you want! 

"Do I Matter To You?"

By understanding each family member's perspective, emotions, and experience on how they fit into the family and the stuck cycle that has evolved, we can develop an understanding of how the stuck pattern developed and what may need to happen to shift it. 

Creating new family patterns and interactions where family members can feel emotionally safe and express their emotions and needs directly is the ultimate goal.

How Does This Work: The Therapy Roadmap 

Early sessions consist of me learning about you, your family members, and the family relationship through individual sessions with those who will be participating. I will learn about your family dynamics and the stuck cycle that brings you into therapy, as well as your hopes for your family relationships and therapy. The first few sessions also provide you an opportunity to get to know me and develop your comfort and safety of being with me in session.

Next, I will begin meeting with family members in dyads to begin our collective focus on exploring how the family's stuck cycle is experienced and what the deeper pieces are about. We will strategically work through the family dyads to support one another in understanding and empathizing with each other's emotions and experiences. 

As family members become more familiar with your collective family triggers and recognize the stuck cycle when it starts to occur, you will begin to step out of the cycle with growing ease, signaling it is time to develop a new way of interacting based on trust, communication, connection and security.

Finally, as you each develop a new awareness and understanding of yourself, and your emotions and experiences, we work collectively to choreograph a new connected cycle where each family member implements new effective strategies to express relational needs and accept care and support from one another.
