Therapy for Families
Strengthening Bonds Through Understanding
Family life can be filled with both love and challenges—whether it’s navigating the intense emotions of adolescence, parenting stress, recurring conflicts, or adjusting to a new family structure. When communication breaks down or tensions run high, it can leave family members feeling unheard, disconnected, or stuck in painful cycles. Through Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), I help families slow down, untangle the emotions beneath the surface, and create space for genuine understanding. Each member is encouraged to express their needs, fears, and longings in a way that fosters support rather than division. Together, we will work to transform interactions into relationships that feel safer, stronger, and more fulfilling—so that every member of your family feels valued, supported, and connected.
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy for Families?
Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) is a compassionate, research-based approach that helps families move from conflict and disconnection to deeper trust and understanding. When relationships feel strained, it’s often because underlying emotions—like fear, hurt, or longing—go unspoken or unheard. EFFT creates a safe space where each family member can express these emotions in a way that invites connection rather than conflict. Instead of getting stuck in the same painful patterns, we slow down, listen differently, and work together to create new ways of relating—ones built on emotional safety, responsiveness, and support. Whether you’re struggling with communication, parenting challenges, or major life transitions, EFFT helps strengthen the bonds that make a family feel like home.
