There is nothing more important than strengthening family relationships in the lives of youth. I use a Structural Family Therapy approach that incorporates DBT principles. My goal is for you to feel seen and heard while you develop safe communication strategies. We often communicate with unhelpful behavior, and I can help interrupt and replace those painful patterns.
