Strengthening Family Bonds
Threngthening family Bonds
Growing up, I was raised by a community of caregivers—my parents, aunts, and grandparents—who each played invaluable roles in my upbringing. Their love and guidance inspired my passion for helping families navigate challenges and strengthen their bonds.
Parent-Child Psychotherapy
Parent-Child Psychotherapy focuses on strengthening the bond between parents and children to foster emotional connection, trust, and growth. This approach creates a supportive space where families can navigate challenges such as trauma, behavioral concerns, or emotional disconnection.

I utilize Child-Parent Psychotherapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy to tailor sessions to meet the unique needs of each family.
Together, we work to:
Repair attachment and emotional connection.
Enhance communication between parents and children.
Create a nurturing environment that allows both parents and children to thrive.

Family Therapy
Family therapy provides a supportive space for families of all sizes to navigate challenges, improve communication, and strengthen their connections. It focuses on understanding how family dynamics are impacted by shared experiences, such as trauma, grief, or significant life transitions. By addressing interpersonal conflict and fostering mutual understanding, family therapy helps families work through challenges together, creating a stronger, more cohesive foundation for growth.

Parent Support Therapy
Parent Support Therapy focuses on empowering caregivers to navigate the challenges of raising children with confidence and compassion. It provides a space to explore the emotional and practical aspects of parenting, address feelings of frustration or uncertainty, and build a deeper understanding of your child’s needs. This approach also supports improving co-parenting relationships, fostering collaboration, and creating a consistent, nurturing environment where both parent and child can thrive.

Note to Fathers
As a therapist and as a man, I understand how daunting it can feel to step into therapy—especially family therapy or Parent-Child Psychotherapy. Many fathers worry about being judged, feeling misunderstood, or wondering if therapy can truly make a difference. It’s common to carry the weight of responsibility in silence, believing it’s something you have to handle on your own.
Therapy offers a different path. It’s a space to strengthen the bond with your child and gain tools to navigate challenges in ways that honor your values and vision as a father. As a firstborn son who shares the name of both my father and grandfather, I know firsthand the importance of these relationships. My grandfather was essential to my father, just as my father was essential to me. He raised me while breaking generational cycles, lightening my load so I could do the same for the next generation.
Your role as a father is powerful and transformative. You don’t have to carry everything alone. Therapy is a space to find understanding, support, and practical tools to navigate fatherhood with strength, love, and purpose.
