Adult clients can experience strife or strain in their family life: spouses disagree about raising kids, siblings about caring for elderly parents; cultural, religious, sexual and other values may come into conflict; relations dispute finances; rules and roles can become unworkable; differing communication styles can become dysfunctional; low-contact or no-contact between family members (siblings, parents or grandparents and their adult children and grandchildren) requires establishment, maintenance, reconsideration and/or reconciliation. I work with adults, and not clients under 18 years old. I work with adult family units.
Familial discord can be addressed, even relieved, by sorting out different beliefs and values; assessing injuries like abuse and neglect, and opening paths to heal or manage them. Whether defining distance clearly or reaching for renewed connection, therapy offers a place to have truly our own perceptions, needs, and wishes heard and processed with another.
You are a phone consultation or initial appointment away, with no commitment, from reflection and guidance. Alongside training, I bring life experience, a PhD in Religious Studies, years of teaching and book publishing. My fee is out of pocket. I take Aetna and Regence in Washington (online appointments only). In Portland, I run process groups.

I use Object Relations psychoanalysis and Internal Family Systems so that we can build a therapeutic relationship to explore the dynamics that play out in relationships among family members, and often quite painfully with parents and siblings. Exposing the hidden dynamics of relationships often provide us with the signals of how to proceed in our relations with others, and ourselves.
