Family Therapy

Welcome to Cultivating Capacity, where I specialize in family therapy that nurtures the capacity for curiosity, courage, compassion, and change. I believe that every family, regardless of their ethnic, religious or spiritual, and socioeconomic background, possesses the potential to grow, heal, and create lasting positive transformations. 

I approach family therapy as a collaborative journey towards growth and resilience. I understand that families face unique challenges, and I provide a safe and inclusive space where all voices are heard, respected, and valued. With my compassionate guidance, families explore their dynamics, strengthen connections, and embrace new possibilities. My aim is to empower families to navigate change, cultivate deeper understanding, and foster healthier patterns of interaction. 

What is family therapy? 

Family therapy is a powerful tool for addressing the specific issues that impact the overall psychological health of the family. It goes beyond individual concerns and focuses on the interconnectedness and dynamics of the family unit. By working together, we can explore the family patterns, beliefs, and communication styles that may contribute to challenges, such as depression, substance abuse, behavioral problems, or conflicts among family members. Family therapy also cultivates the capacity for change as family members develop practical strategies to address root causes of conflict and make meaningful shifts towards healthier patterns of interaction and well-being. Family therapy is beneficial for all families, whether they're dealing with major life transitions, expected and unexpected events, mental health concerns, or even everyday challenges. 

Commitment to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

I celebrate and honor the diversity that families bring to my practice. I warmly welcome families from all ethnic backgrounds, religious or spiritual beliefs, and socioeconomic circumstances. I will always acknowledge and respect your unique cultural values and experiences, because creating a culturally responsive and affirming therapeutic environment is important to me. Your family's stories, traditions, and perspectives are essential in shaping our collaborative work. 

Cultivating Capacity for Growth

In family therapy sessions, we will work together to foster your family's capacity for curiosity, encouraging family members to explore new perspectives, challenge assumptions, and embrace learning opportunities together. I provide a space where courage thrives, supporting families in facing difficult issues with openness, vulnerability, and resilience. Through my compassionate approach, I help families develop empathy, deepen connections, and cultivate a shared sense of meaning. Together, we will implement solutions that lead to lasting positive transformations. 

Tailored to Your Family's Needs

Every family is unique, and I tailor our therapy to meet the specific needs and goals of your family. Whether you're seeking support for improving communication, resolving conflicts, navigating life transitions, or healing from past wounds, I design my interventions to address your family's challenges and aspirations. My aim is to co-create a therapeutic process that honors your family's strengths, values, and vision, while guiding you towards a more harmonious and fulfilling family life.
