Family Therapy

Family therapy plays a crucial role in the healing journey, particularly in households where family members coexist or where children and teenagers are present. I strongly believe that the dynamics within the family unit have a profound impact on the emotional well-being of everyone involved. Therapy focuses on improving communication skills, nurturing empathy, establishing healthy boundaries, and addressing attachment issues. In my practice, I combine various therapeutic approaches such as Systems Theory, Attachment Theory, CBT, and Gottman interventions, tailored to suit the specific needs of your family. I am adept at working with families experiencing high levels of conflict or situations where not all family members are willing to participate in the process.
