Family & Sibling Psychotherapy
Strengthen connections, navigate identity, and move toward security and support
Families are shaped by patterns, both spoken and unspoken, that influence how members interact with each other. In therapy, we collaborate to slow down, observe these dynamics, and discover new ways of engaging.
I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals within family systems, assisting families in navigating the challenges that can arise when members have differing understandings and integrations of their identities. Whether it involves exploring identity, addressing misunderstandings, or working through deep-seated historical conflicts, therapy provides a safe space to strengthen connections and foster mutual understanding.
Adopting a family systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) framework, we center our approach on the emotions and attachment needs at the heart of family interactions. Instead of merely resolving surface-level disagreements, we strive to create more secure and supportive relationships where all members feel seen and valued. My hope is for the work to feel collaborative, holding a deep respect for the uniqueness of each family’s experience.

I believe that working with families is most effective when we meet on a weekly basis. Many of the families and siblings I work with choose to meet for extended (double-length) sessions, especially when increased members are involved.
Having more time together can allow space for everyone to be heard and for us to go deeper into the work

The length of time can really vary every family is different. The direction and duration of the work tend to become clearer as we move through the process. Some families engage in this work for a few months, while others may continue for six months to a year or more, depending on their needs and goals.
“Lenni is a wonderful therapist who is constantly challenging me to look beyond the narratives I have of my own life and to see things from a kinder perspective. They are a great listener and push me to sit with my emotions, leading me to have a better understanding of how and why I am feeling a certain way.”
