Couples and Family Therapy

Every behavior your child is showing you is an active communication. Their little bodies can't always have the words. So when they're behaving some way, they're telling you something. Now it's your turn to figure out what that is.

Couples work is emotionally focused and attachment-based: the fight is rarely about the dishes. Family work often includes a neurodivergent child, a blended household, a foster or adoptive placement, or a teenager whose behavior has become the family's whole weather system.

I have been a foster parent, a child protection social worker and a school counselor. I have sat on every side of these conversations, and I do not take sides in the room.

In This Work

  • Couples, including partners at different life stages
  • Parents and children, parents alone
  • Blended, foster and adoptive families
  • Repair after conflict or rupture
  • Couples and family sessions are $250

Pages on This Work

Co-Parenting Support

Two households, one child. You do not have to like each other for this to work. You have to become predictable to your kid.

Therapy During Divorce and Separation

Divorce is an administrative process wrapped around a grief nobody scheduled. Most people are managing both on the same Tuesday.

Parenting Support and Coaching

Every behavior your child is showing you is an active communication. Their little bodies can't always have the words. So when they're behaving some way, they're telling you something. Now it's your turn to figure out what that is.

Reunification and Co-Parenting Support

Rebuilding a relationship between a child and a parent after a stretch of time apart, at the pace the child sets, with both households prepared for what that actually asks of them.

Foster Parent Support

Support for the person doing the caring. I have been a foster parent, and I know that the household holding a placement usually has nowhere to put any of it down.

Also Available

Autism

Therapy that adjusts to how you think, communicate and regulate.

ADHD

Practical structure, plus room for what carrying ADHD has cost you.

Trauma and PTSD

Paced, body-aware work that never asks you to retell more than you choose.

Anxiety

Turning the volume down without pretending the worry is silly.
