Family Therapy

CINCINNATI, OH

My Approach to Family Counseling:

In working with families, my aim is to honor each and every member's feelings and experiences, and to create a safe and nurturing context that promotes greater vulnerability, understanding, connection and trust.

Families are complex. While family can be an incredible source of love, they can also be a deep source of pain. And within every family, each member has their own unique subjective experience of what it means to be a part of the family system and structure.

My role is to help facilitate a new set of experiences for the family, allowing them the possibility to connect in a different way- outside of the well-worn dynamics and patterns that they are so accustomed to.

Sessions tend to be quite dynamic, interactive, and experiential. While the thought of family therapy might feel like a huge risk and bring up a good amount of discomfort, I have experienced that the willingness to let go of old roles, rules, and expectations can immeasurably help a family connect in a deeper and more authentic way that brings about a beautiful sense of understanding, connection and love.
