Couples and Partners:

Through our intimate partnerships we often unconsciously enact patterns disrupting these most beloved of relationships. Oftentimes the patterns have been modeled from one generation of our family to the next, resulting in intergenerational problems and transmission of intergenerational trauma. In this way our family of origin in childhood bequeaths us an “emotional inheritance.” In partner’s therapy at Reflections Therapy Studio, we dialogue with conflicts, experiences, and dream material from each partner, working with the underlying patterns of behavior and attachment styles that come to light. Beyond recognition, we then work relationally to find different constellations as they continue to present in relationships. 

Families:

Reflections Therapy Studio helps families trying to establish congruence in parental expectations with developmentally appropriate goals and positive discipline for their children. In this manner, each family member is empowered to be the highest version of their Self within the family structure. This creates a structure fostering responsibility within each family member, reducing conflicts and power struggles.

Unfolding key emotions to foster new responses is the heart of change…
