Family Boundaries and Structure Therapist in Venice

Create Clarity. Respect Individual Needs. Build A Healthier Family System.

In our therapy sessions, we will work on:

    •    Defining healthy roles and responsibilities for all

    •    Setting emotional, physical, and time boundaries

    •    Understanding enmeshment, over-functioning, or disengagement

    •    Balancing authority with empathy in parenting

    •    Clarifying expectations, routines, and consequences

    •    Addressing family patterns that create guilt, control, or confusion

    •    Supporting blended families or shifting households

Families thrive on love—but they function on structure. Without clear roles, boundaries, and expectations, family dynamics can quickly become chaotic, codependent, or emotionally exhausting. Whether it’s constant conflict, blurred roles, parentified children, or difficulty saying “no,” lack of structure and boundaries often leads to resentment, stress, and disconnection.

As a family therapist, I help families build a foundation where love and limits coexist. Together, we create systems that support individual growth and family unity—so everyone feels respected, safe, and emotionally secure.

Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re frameworks for love that actually works. Structure isn’t about control—it’s about creating calm, clarity, and mutual respect.

Let’s help your family thrive with the kind of structure that holds—not restricts—you.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
