EHW Marriage and Family Therapy focuses exclusively on relationship and family dynamics.
Couples
I am committed to helping couples work through problems they might be having in their relationships. Married and unmarried couples are welcome, as well as people in traditional and non-traditional relationships. Some goals that couples may have include: Building a solid base of connection, strengthening positive communication, decreasing ineffective communication, developing shared meaning in living life together and developing skills in productive conversation in working out differences and injuries.
Separation/Divorce
Divorce is a challenging time for many. I support and guide individuals, couples and families through the divorce process. I help to create a new path forward toward fulfilling possibilities. I help divorcing couples navigate one of life’s most difficult transitions with clarity, compassion, and respect. Through therapy, I support partners in improving communication, reducing conflict, and making thoughtful decisions for themselves and their families. Whether the goal is separation, co-parenting, or finding a healthier way forward, I provide a neutral space where both individuals can feel heard and understood. My approach focuses on emotional support, practical tools, and preserving dignity during a highly emotional time. Together, we work toward creating healthier patterns and a more stable foundation for the next chapter of life.
Family Therapy
Families change in order to meet changing needs of its members. Family systems are sandwiched between the ever-changing macro systems of society and micro systems of its individual members. Members are continually growing and transitioning (biologically, emotionally and socially) therefore personal needs are constantly changing and the family system evolves to accommodate these new needs. The family system is continually readjusting and finding a new balance and space to accommodate these types of ‘new growth’ in its members and also shifting society. All of this changing can be confusing and stressful on the family system. I help families to a place of balance and healing. I help individuals increase their abilities to express their needs, set shared goals and help the family identify strengths that can be built on. My family systems perspective informs my approach with working with families. I view the family as an emotional unit and the individuals are inseparable from their network of relations in this system. Identifying and expressing individual needs is a cornerstone for the family to function optimally.
