Therapy for families in Colorado

Is your family struggling to connect?


Maybe things have been tense at home—frequent arguments, miscommunication, or a growing sense of distance. Perhaps a recent event, like a child’s behavioral issues or a disagreement between parents, has highlighted how disconnected everyone feels. You might feel like you’re stuck in a cycle where things only seem to get worse, or simply that you’re not sure how to talk to one another anymore.

Whatever the situation, you’re beginning to notice its impact everywhere:

  • Difficulty focusing on work or daily tasks because of constant stress at home.

  • Feeling exhausted, frustrated, or even isolated by the ongoing tension.

  • Children picking up on conflict, asking questions about difficult situations the family is facing, or acting out.

Family therapy can help.

How Family therapy works

Right now, it might feel overwhelming to think about restoring harmony within your family, but there is hope.

You can rediscover a sense of unity and understanding, even if it feels distant now. It’s possible to learn how to communicate more openly and effectively, to address difficult emotions in a way that strengthens your bond rather than creating further tension. Together, we can rebuild your family’s foundation of trust, empathy, and support.

In our work together, I’ll help you explore the unique needs and dynamics of your family—whether you’re working through issues with young children, adult siblings, parents and adult children, or even spouses. For parents and children, play therapy can help younger ones express what they can’t yet put into words, while with adult family members, we can explore the deeper patterns and histories that affect your relationships. Whether it’s repairing strained communication between siblings or addressing old wounds between parents and grown children, family therapy offers a space for everyone to be heard and begin the healing process.

I’ll be with you every step of the way, providing guidance and support tailored to your family’s needs. My approach is rooted in compassion, healing, and understanding, and I’m here to help you create a stronger, more connected family unit that thrives on mutual respect and love.

Family therapy can help you…

  • Identify the root of your family’s struggles, including underlying emotions or trauma that may be impacting your dynamics.

  • Understand each family member’s needs and how to support one another more effectively.

  • Learn new tools and communication strategies to resolve conflicts and strengthen your relationships, so you can move forward with more unity and peace.

  • Family play therapy uses games, toys, and creative activities to help families work through challenges and feel closer to each other. Play is how kids naturally express their feelings and experiences, especially when they don’t have the words to explain what’s going on. In these sessions, everyone in the family gets to participate, which helps improve communication, understand each other better, and strengthen your relationships in a fun and supportive way.

  • Family therapy via telehealth works much like in-person sessions but with the convenience of meeting from your own space. We connect through a secure video platform, and everyone joins from the same device or from separate locations if needed. I guide the family through conversations and activities designed to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen your relationships. For family play therapy, I talk to parents ahead of time about what types of toys to have on hand and how to arrange your space for play. Learn more.
