Family & Marriage Therapy  

Marriage and family relationships are the cornerstone of our society and while they are often ones greatest support system, foundation, source of encouragement and love, conversely they can be a great source of pain, frustration and conflict.

Family therapy can help marriages and families withstand the stress that comes along with some of life’s challenges. Divorce, communication difficulties, parenting, grief and loss are only a few of life stressors that therapy can be useful for.

Our trained and experienced therapists can help you improve your communication skills, gain insight into how family of origin issues may relate to your current difficulties and help you improve family relationships.

If you are in marriage that is highly conflictual or emotionally distant, marriage therapy can help improve your level of intimacy, communication, and overall satisfaction in your relationship. Marriages are subjected to great stressors, and communication is the foundation of building a healthy relationship. Exploring family history in how it relates to the present can facilitate new insight and awareness regarding core self-beliefs and wounds, which play out in your life today. Gaining this awareness facilitates change and the ability to make different choices.

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.-- Virginia Satir

In each family a story is playing itself out, and each family's story embodies its hope and despair.-- Auguste Napier
