Family Therapy

What To Expect From Family Therapy

In my sessions, I employ a psychodynamic and attachment-based approach, with a focus on enhancing attachment and connection as the primary goal of therapy. By fostering emotional connections, we can reduce conflict, improve communication, and help all family members feel safer and more connected.

Through an attachment lens, I explore each parent's childhood and family patterns to understand how these experiences influence their parenting. My goal in working with families is to ensure that every member feels heard. I aim to balance different perspectives and guide members to understand each other in a new way. I see myself as a guide rather than a referee, helping you identify and change negative patterns to communicate in healthier, more effective ways.

EFT & Family Therapy

Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFT) enhances relationships by prioritizing the emotional bond between family members. In our sessions, I will help you strengthen this bond by identifying negative cycles, uncovering underlying emotions, and learning to respond to each other in new ways. EFT resonates with me as a therapist due to its focus on our fundamental human need for connection. When we are deeply connected, we create a foundation for a fulfilling life, enriching our emotional, physical, and social well-being.

Here are some key ways EFT improves family relationships:

EFT teaches family members how to express their emotions and needs more effectively, leading to improved dialogue and deeper understanding.
EFT focuses on fostering emotional connections among family members, which enhances trust and security within the family unit.
The therapy creates a safe environment for family members to express their vulnerabilities, which can lead to greater intimacy and connection.
By enhancing emotional connections and improving communication skills, EFT helps families develop resilience, enabling them to better cope with challenges and changes.
EFT addresses past hurts and traumas that may impact current dynamics, allowing families to heal together and move forward more positively.
