Relationships and family therapy in Washington

Relationships & Family Therapy in Washington

Relationship and family therapy can make room for the patterns that do not belong to one person alone: the cycles couples repeat, the roles families inherit, the pressure adolescents and teens carry, and the questions people face when closeness needs more honesty.

Premarital and marital therapy

Some couples come to therapy before marriage because they want to talk more directly about communication, conflict, money, family expectations, sex, faith, culture, commitment, or the kind of life they are trying to build together.

Marital or long-term relationship work may focus on repeated conflict, distance, betrayal, parenting stress, loneliness, life transitions, or the quiet sense that the relationship needs more than both people have been able to create on their own.

When the relationship is uncertain

Some couples come to therapy unsure whether they want to stay together, separate, or make a focused attempt at repair. I have studied discernment counseling and may draw from its structure to help those conversations become more honest, contained, and clear.

I am not certified in Discernment Counseling, and I do not present this as a formal Discernment Counseling service.

Family therapy, adolescents, and teens

Family therapy can support conversations across generations, roles, and transitions. The work may include parent-teen conflict, communication breakdowns, grief, divorce or separation, blended-family stress, launching into adulthood, or a family trying to understand what has changed.

I do see adolescents and teens. When working with younger people, I think about the wider context around them: family relationships, school pressure, identity, culture, grief, belonging, privacy, and the kind of adult support that helps without taking over.

Current context

I am currently in a supervised training context at Connection Therapy Center. This page is informational and does not create a separate scheduling, waitlist, or consultation path through this site. Current clinical questions should go through my CTC profile.
