Untangle the Tension & Turn Conflict Into Clarity.
Lately, home just isn’t the safe, connected place it used to be.
Arguments happen over the smallest things – screen time, school, work, who’s helping (and who’s not).
Yelling has become “normal,” and someone’s always shutting down.
Tension is high, you’re walking on eggshells, and the kids are acting out.
You try talking to your partner about it, but it always circles back to frustration, blame, or old wounds no one’s sure how to fix.
You’re tired, stuck, and unsure that things will ever get better.
Family therapy gives you a place to pause, breathe, and really understand what’s going on beneath the surface.
..with support from a therapist who sees the whole system, not just one person.
Our goal is to help your family untangle the tension and communicate with more care and ease.
So you can reconnect in ways that stick (for a much more peaceful home life).

We...
1 / Give Your Family Space to Be Themselves
Getting to know who you are as a family unit and how you feel individually within it is our number one goal in family therapy. To do that, we create a safe space where each of you can feel heard, without pressure.
2 / Find Disconnection & Bring Understanding
Next, we explore what’s been going on, what each of you is feeling, and where the disconnects might be. The goal isn’t to place blame – it’s to understand each other better.
3 / Repair Trust & Build Healthy Communication
Over time, your therapist will guide you in building healthier communication, repairing trust, and creating more connection at home (one step at a time).
“Seriously the best practitioners I’ve come across. Helpful, knowledgeable and professional.”

Proven Tools That Work, For Families Who Want Change.
If you're walking on eggshells, feeling burnt out, or just exhausted from all the tension, you’re not alone. In family therapy, we use proven techniques to give you the tools, insight, and support to create the kind of connection you all deserve.
Structural Family Therapy
Helps create a healthier structure within your family by looking at each of your roles, boundaries, and patterns.
If one parent usually takes on all the emotional support while others stay disconnected, we help you rebalance responsibilities and share tasks that make sense.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Helps you recognize patterns of disconnection and rebuild emotional safety.
Your 8-year-old might have behavior issues because they feel hurt or left out. EFT helps bring their feelings to the surface so you can move from conflict to closeness.
Family Systems Approach
Explores the behaviors of each person in your family, to see how they affect what’s going on at home.
Your teen might be experiencing anxiety because there’s tension between you and your partner. We help you identify these connections and work together to ease the pressure.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps you shift unhelpful patterns at home by looking at how your family’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected.
If you feel disrespected at home, we teach you to challenge that assumption and respond with curiosity instead of anger.
Communication Skills Training
Teaching your family how to clearly express themselves, so you can listen and communicate without judgment.
If lots of yelling or emotional shutdowns happen at home, we guide you through using “I” statements and active listening to keep things calm and respectful.
Narrative Therapy
Rewriting unhelpful stories your family has come to believe about yourselves and each other.
The “problem child” in your family deserves to be heard and understood more clearly, and narrative therapy changes the way you relate to them.

Family Therapy FAQs
What if only some of us want to come to family therapy? That’s completely normal. Not everyone may feel ready at the same time – and that’s okay. A therapist can still help you start the process, even if just one or two family members show up at first.
Does going to family therapy mean we’re “broken”? Not at all. Families need support for all kinds of reasons – big and small. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about learning new ways to understand each other, communicate, and grow stronger together.
What if we argue in a family therapy session? It happens, and that’s okay. Your therapist is trained to help navigate tough moments in a way that’s respectful and safe, so no one feels blamed or shut down.
How long will it take to see change after starting family therapy? Every family is different. Some notice shifts after just a few sessions, while others need more time. What matters most is that you’re showing up and doing the work – that alone is progress.
Will the family therapist take sides? No. Your therapist is there to support the entire family. Their goal is to create a balanced, nonjudgmental space where everyone feels heard and respected.
What if we’ve tried family therapy before and it didn’t work? That’s valid – and frustrating. But every therapist, and every approach, is different. We’ll meet you where you are and find what works best for your unique family dynamic.
