Narrative therapy helps families see problems as something separate from themselves, rather than blaming one another or feeling stuck in old patterns. By exploring the stories each person tells about their experiences, families can uncover strengths, shift unhelpful narratives, and create a shared story that feels more hopeful and connected. This approach gives every family member a voice and helps them feel heard, valued, and understood, making it easier to work together toward positive change.

Mindfulness helps families pause, notice their thoughts and feelings, and respond more thoughtfully rather than reacting automatically. In family counseling, I guide members to practice being fully present with themselves and each other, which can reduce tension, improve communication, and create a calmer, more connected home environment. Mindfulness encourages awareness and empathy, helping every family member feel seen, heard, and understood in the moment.

PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) isn’t just for couples—it can also help families build safer, stronger connections. In family sessions, I use PACT principles to help each member feel seen, understood, and regulated in their nervous system, which reduces tension and conflict. By observing real-time interactions, guiding healthy communication, and creating safety in the relationship, PACT helps families shift unhelpful patterns and build trust, understanding, and lasting connection.
