Family Therapy in 98005

Hello, my name is Stephen. Recognizing how important, yet difficult, it can be to cultivate and work through meaningful relationships in our lives, my goal is to help others experience relationally enriching lives. Thinking about how important my relationships are to my own life and well-being, I can’t help but feel for those who are really struggling through the most important relationships in theirs. I’m reminded especially of those clients I've worked with who've felt alone and unloved due to the lack of connection in their own lives.

Family Business is in a league of its own. I help family businesses navigate change (or stagnation) by fostering clear decision-making, and helping clients separate family dynamics from business operations. As a former therapist, I noticed that when my family therapy clients had a family business, therapy would only get them so far... At some point, they had to address the nuts and bolts of operations: "I know I hate this position, but the business would fail if I stopped. But things have GOT to change." Sound familiar? Creating new relationship dynamics and habits means changing how you work together, at home AND the office.

Are you lonely in your relationship? Do you argue about divorce or parenting? Has your marriage and family been impacted by infidelity, betrayal or sexual addiction? You're relationship doesn't have to feel stressful and your family doesn't have to suffer. If you're tired of arguing with no resolution, it's time to get support. I help couples resolve communication problems, strengthen their intimacy, repair trust issues, and address parenting struggles and cultural differences. Together we can create a plan to help you ask for your needs, deepen your connection, enhance your intimacy and feel fully alive in your relationships again.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

It takes courage to seek help. Whether you are trying to make an important decision, facing a crisis, or in the middle of a major transition in your life, it makes sense to seek counsel. Sometime we’re feeling stuck and isolated while longing for more community and personal growth. Unresolved childhood issues, grief, and/or trauma can negatively impact your understanding of self and your view of others.
