Family systems issues can both result from distress in relationships and precipitate distress. Support in addressing family issues can have a signifiacant positive impact on overall relationship functioning. The fact that relationships are one of our primary coping mechanisms multiplies the potential distress when family challenges are present as they impact the very mechanisms we use to cope.

Imagine a family as a tree with branches, roots, trunk representing parts of the immediate and extended family. When working with families, all elements are considered. Usually there is a request for family therapy due to one of it's members in crisis, often a child. However, when an analysis of need is done it becomes apparent that more than one member of the family needs help in adjusting, growing and learning new behaviours. Clients contact me for a variety of reasons: to improve communications, solve family problems, support in special situations such as death, divorce, marriage, illness, child or adolescent issues.

I have been a family counsellor for 25 yrs. I specialize in child/youth family counselling. Currently, I facilitate groups for youth that struggle with substance abuse and managing anger. My job in counsellling is to help family members identify difficulties they are experiencing and work toward resolving the underlying issues. Therapy teaches families to communicate more effectively. It's an opportunity to articulate needs, fears and find new ways to resolve anger and conflict. Family members will explore many areas such as unhealthy family patterns, boundaries, honesty, accountability and ways to bulid more closeness/connection.

Despite the best intentions of ourselves and our family members, we are often tangled in patterns of invalidation, rejection, frustration and blame. It can feel so messy that we operate in a constant state of fear and a crippling sense of unworthiness. In 2008 I started my counselling career as a family therapist. A combination of individual and joint sessions will take place to allow the space for all voices to be respectfully heard, while helping to identify bigger ‘systems’ patterns that keep you stuck in pain and finger-pointing. I will help to smooth out communication, make room for wants and needs and to heal the old wounds holding you back from having a healthier relationship.

When I counsell families, I employ structural family therapy. This kind of treatment examines the internal dynamics, limits and power structures that exist within a family. It emphasizes that having direct conversations with your family members is the best way to bring about positive change. The core belief of this type of therapy is that families will find more productive ways to relate to one another, with the guidance of their therapist.

Few things feel as painful, or as hopeless as ongoing conflict within your own home and family. If you find yourselves stuck in frustrating “ruts”, fighting over the same things again and again, I can help you. Much damage can occur if communication goes wrong. It can drive very painful wedges between you and your own family members. The good news is, you do not have to stay in destructive communication cycles. Safe, healthy communication is not only possible, but doable. And as you develop it, you will soon realize that you are actually much closer to each other than you feel right now. Let me help you create a home that feels like the haven it is meant to be. Just contact me.

Families who are finding it difficult to communicate in a respectful and healthy way benefit from cognitive behavioural programs. Parents and their children learn how to be flexible in their thinking, manage their emotions and moderate their behaviour. Children learn their role in the family, how to stay out of the middle and how to cope with family stress.

As the oldest of 7 kids, I know how complicated families can be! With so many different personalities and interests it can be hard to stay together as a united group. Family therapy is a structured form of counselling that helps give each member a space to speak and to be heard. By creating better communication patterns a more cohesive family begins to emerge.

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.

A strong family should be the foundational block of a healthy life. However, that is easier said than done! As times change so do the realities of family life, the pressures and challenges become more complex. One constant principle however underlies the strength of family and that is the capacity to meet each other as individuals worthy of their space, their ideas, and their voice. The capacity to not only hear each other but to listen to each other. We hear with our ears but we listen with our heart and brain. This is the secret to the communication process that ensures good family relationships and is the focus of my family therapy process. Come chat and explore the possibilities!

Family counselling focuses on fostering understanding and collaboration among all family members to address issues and improve dynamics. Family therapy involves working with the entire family unit to enhance communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. My approach is to create a safe and inclusive space where members can express their thoughts and feelings openly. We work to identify and address underlying patterns and challenges, develop practical problem-solving skills, and build a supportive family environment. This holistic approach helps families navigate difficult situations more effectively and promotes healthier, more connected relationships.
