My therapeutic approach is built on Bowen's family therapy, tragic therapy, contextual and narrative therapy modalities. Family therapy is beneficial to building healthy boundaries between family members, strengthening the family unit , building trust and respect where is was lost, and finding healing from loss and trauma

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.
