Through this work you will learn that the work that encourages hearts to heal and, couples and families to be unified

Couples and family therapy can be both daunting and healing and we work with you to understand that the work that requires our hearts is the work that can heal us.

In this work, we learn how to be together and how to enrich that being and how to respond compassionately when it becomes difficult.

Oftentimes we can forget that the root of the word “relationship” is the Latin word “lat,” which means to “carry.” The act of relating to someone, whether a partner or family member, is one in which we learn to carry together. 

When we are carrying something heavy, it is sometimes necessary to switch our grip or where we are standing so that we can reach where we want and need. 

A couples and family therapist can help us see where these changes might be helpful for the relationship as a whole.

In couples and family therapy, we learn to:

  • Recognize that communication is crucial Understand that we are affected by and affect others daily
  • Express our internal world into our relationships
  • Relate to one another in a healthy way

“It is now clear to me that the family is a microcosm of the world. To understand the world, we can study the family: issues such as power, intimacy, autonomy, trust, and communication skills are vital parts underlying how we live in the world. To change the world is to change the family.”

– Virginia Satir
