family therapy services In new york City

Every family faces challenges—but with the right support, healing and reconnection are absolutely possible. I help strengthen relationships, improve communication, and resolve conflict in a compassionate, structured, and professional environment.

Whether you're experiencing chronic tension, going through a difficult life transition, or simply want to create more harmony at home, family therapy offers a path forward—one that is rooted in mutual understanding, emotional safety, and practical change.

Families come in many shapes and sizes, and no two are exactly alike. That’s why my Family Therapy services are tailored to the unique dynamics, values, and needs of each family I work with. From traditional nuclear families to co-parenting units, blended households, multi-generational homes, and LGBTQ+ families navigating identity, acceptance, and transition, I offer targeted support that helps families feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow together.

Family therapy can help address a wide range of concerns, including:

• Communication breakdowns and persistent arguments
• Emotional disconnect or distance between family members
• Ongoing conflict between parents, children, or siblings
• Trauma recovery, grief, or adjustment to a significant loss
• Separation, divorce, or co-parenting transitions
• Blended family integration, including role confusion and step-family challenges
• Relationship counseling for couples, co-parents, or extended family members
• Boundary issues, parent-child power struggles, or unresolved resentment
• Support for LGBTQ+ individuals and families, including coming out, navigating gender identity, and fostering family acceptance

Whether your family is dealing with day-to-day disagreements or longstanding emotional patterns, therapy provides a safe, inclusive, and neutral space to explore what’s really going on and to begin healing in a collaborative, supportive setting

In my role as a family therapist, I guide each session with a blend of empathy, clarity, and evidence-based techniques. My goal is not to place blame, but to help each family member better understand themselves and each other—while working together to build a stronger, more connected foundation.

Using structured therapeutic interventions and open, facilitated dialogue, I help families:

• Improve communication and listening skills
• Develop healthier ways of resolving disagreements
• Rebuild trust after conflict or emotional rupture
• Understand each person’s emotional needs and perspectives
• Create and commit to shared goals and values
• Restore emotional balance in the home
• Navigate changes with less stress and more cooperation

Sessions are always tailored to meet the emotional readiness and developmental stage of the individuals involved—from young children and teens to adults and elders.

Families are constantly evolving. Sometimes, life events such as divorce, relocation, the death of a loved one, or blending households can place stress on the family system and lead to confusion or emotional disconnection. At other times, it’s the everyday pressures—work, school, parenting, or generational differences—that gradually erode communication and unity over time.

My Family Therapy Services are especially helpful during:

• Post-divorce adjustment and co-parenting realignment
• Step-family transitions or introducing new partners into the household
• Grief and loss following a death, separation, or significant life change
• Teen and adolescent challenges, including behavioral concerns and emotional distance
• Support for LGBTQ+ family members, including coming out, gender identity transitions, and fostering family acceptance
• Major life transitions, such as job loss, relocation, or health-related changes
• Long-standing unresolved conflicts that impact connection and emotional safety

No matter the source of difficulty, family therapy provides a structured, non-judgmental space to explore it with courage and compassion—so families can heal, reconnect, and grow stronger together.

Many families try to “tough it out” on their own, but ongoing patterns of conflict, emotional distance, or misunderstandings often require more than time to resolve. Family therapy offers a structured, non-judgmental environment where real transformation can happen.

Benefits of family therapy include:

• Stronger emotional bonds
• More effective and respectful communication
• Reduced household stress
• Clearer roles, expectations, and boundaries
• Greater empathy and understanding
• Long-term tools for resolving conflict

When families learn to navigate emotional challenges together, they don’t just survive difficult times—they emerge from them more resilient, united, and secure.

You don’t have to wait for things to fall apart before reaching out for help. If your family is facing stress, tension, or emotional distance, family therapy can be a powerful way to restore connection and create new patterns for the future.
