Family Therapy in Boulder, CO
You care about each other, but being close feels harder than you ever imagined. Conversations turn into arguments, efforts to connect end in hurt, or you find yourselves avoiding the things that matter most. Maybe you know how you got here. Maybe you’re still trying to understand.
Whether you’re navigating the teen years or relationships between parents, adult children, or siblings, I’ll help you understand what’s happening between you and work toward more understanding, clearer communication, and connection.
Sometimes one person is struggling, and the whole family feels it. Other times, arguments, distance, or old hurts bring you here. Together, we’ll look at what’s happening between you, without asking one person to carry all the change.
Supporting Your Teen
Worry about your teen, growing distance, or conflict over independence can leave you unsure how to support them and stay connected.
Adult Family Relationships
Old hurts, strained boundaries, and different expectations can complicate relationships between parents, adult children, and siblings.
Communication & Family Conflict
Recurring arguments, misunderstandings, and defensiveness can leave family members feeling unheard or pulling away.
Changing Roles & Family Transitions
Divorce, blended families, and shifting roles can bring uncertainty, conflicting expectations, and new challenges in relating to one another.
When conversations get difficult, it’s easy to fall into familiar roles: fixing, defending, withdrawing, or keeping the peace. Together, we’ll slow those moments down, understand what each person is experiencing, and practice responding differently.
01
Hear what’s underneath the advice, defensiveness, or withdrawal.
02
Express hurt, needs, and boundaries with greater clarity and care.
03
Practice new ways of handling the moments that usually pull you apart.
For parents of teens
Become stronger, steadier family leaders while making room for growing independence.
For adult family members
Work on old hurts, changing expectations, and relating to one another as adults.
Every family is different, and finding the right therapist matters. A free consultation gives us a chance to talk about what’s bringing you here, answer your questions, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
