FAMILY THERAPY
Few things reorganize your relationships like marriage and children. Family relationships are some of the most complex and significant in our lives, and deserve attention and care. Relationship therapy creates space for two people to come back into contact with each other: to say what hasn't been said, hear what hasn't landed, and figure out what this relationship looks like going forward. I work with all kinds of adult dyads, with a particular sensitivity to the ways the perinatal season tends to surface and strain the bonds around us.
Who Is Family Therapy For & What Brings People In?
Adult Parent & Child Reconnecting after distance or estrangement. Processing long-held resentment, unspoken grief, or a significant rupture. Navigating a parent's difficulty accepting an adult child's identity, partner, or life path. Adjusting to shifting roles when a child has children of their own.
Adult Siblings Addressing conflict that surfaced around a parent's illness, death, or care decisions. Untangling old rivalry, perceived favoritism, or inherited family roles. Rebuilding a relationship after a falling out or years of distance.
In-Laws & Blended Families Working through in-law tension that's putting strain on a marriage. Repairing or building a relationship between a stepparent and adult stepchild. Finding common ground in a blended family navigating loyalty, boundaries, and belonging.
Co-Parents Learning to communicate and collaborate effectively for the sake of your children — even when the romantic relationship has ended.
Grief & Loss Two family members carrying a shared loss — a parent, a sibling, a child — and needing space to grieve together, not just separately.
Caregiver & Care Recipient Navigating the emotional and relational complexity that comes when one family member steps into a caregiving role for another.
Friends A friendship that's hit a rupture — a betrayal, a falling out, or simply two people who've grown in different directions and aren't sure what's left. Sometimes the most significant grief isn't the end of a romance but the end of a friendship, and it deserves the same care.
Relationships don’t stay the same when a baby enters it
A new child — whether longed for, complicated, or both — reshapes every relationship in the system. The way you were raised comes into sharper focus. Old wounds with a parent or sibling resurface. In-law dynamics that felt manageable suddenly feel urgent. Co-parenting arrangements get stress-tested. And friendships — rarely named as casualties of new parenthood — can quietly fracture under the weight of shifting priorities and identity. The people you assumed would show up sometimes don't, while others surprise you. Relationship therapy during the perinatal season creates space for two people to come together — to repair what's frayed, navigate what's changed, and build the relational foundation your growing family actually needs.
Your Investment
Initial Trial Session (50 min) $190 — For families, I skip the 15-minute consultation and go straight to a full 50-minute session. In my experience, a short call doesn't give a relationship enough room — there are multiple people, perspectives, and often a lot that's been waiting to be said. A full session lets you both settle in, share what's bringing you here, and get a genuine feel for how I work and whether it resonates. By the end, we'll each have a clearer sense of whether this is the right fit.
Intake Session (110-minutes) — $300 A full intake evaluation allows time to map your history as individuals and as a system, clarify your goals, and lay the foundation for the work ahead.
Ongoing Sessions (75 min) — $250 Ongoing sessions are 75 minutes because the work is inherently more complex — we're holding two individual experiences and the relationship between them. The extra time means we're not rushing, and you're not leaving mid-process.
Family/relationship therapy is typically a private-pay service. Insurance reimbursement requires a mental health diagnosis, which a dyad often does not qualify for. In some cases, one or both members may meet criteria for a reimbursable diagnosis — and if that diagnosis becomes a clinical focus of the therapy, insurance billing may be possible. This will be evaluated during your intake session. You're welcome to check your potential benefits below as a first step, though whether reimbursement is possible will depend on the diagnosis determined at intake.
