Relationships and family
Couples counseling, parenting support, and family conflict work - making room for every voice at the table, not just the loudest one.
Whether it's a couple working through a rough patch, a parent navigating a difficult season with a child, or a family in ongoing conflict, relationship work is about making room for every voice at the table. I draw on attachment-based and family systems approaches to help everyone involved feel heard, while building healthier patterns of communication going forward.
Support for every kind of relationship
Couples
Working through conflict or disconnection.
Parents
Navigating a hard season with a child.
Families
In ongoing conflict, seeking new patterns.
How I approach these sessions
Every voice gets uninterrupted time
Nobody has to compete to be heard - each person gets real space to say what's actually going on for them.
I don't take sides
My job isn't to decide who's right. It's to help everyone understand the pattern you're stuck in together.
Practical tools, not just talk
You'll leave sessions with something concrete to try, not just a conversation you'll forget by the weekend.
Common questions
Sessions are available in-person in Oakdale or online, in whatever combination of individual, couple, or family format fits what's going on.
Not necessarily - we can start together and bring in individual sessions if it's useful, depending on what's going on.
That's common, and we'll talk through how to approach it. Sometimes starting with just the parent is the right first step.
That's a fine place to start - the first sessions are about figuring out together what would actually help, not committing to one specific path.
Yes - families come in all shapes, and the work is about your specific dynamics, not a one-size-fits-all model.
