Every family has a sub-culture of its own with unique with ways of think and doing that are distinctive, dynamic, and fluid. Ever changing with multiple stressors both from within and without, families must have the capacity to adapt and adjust to different ways of being and doing as children grow and as life circumstances change, Sometimes, families can get stuck in these stages of change. I work with families facing challenges in communication, in life transitions, and other factors to move them towards healthier communication and support for its members.

Familial units can oftentimes become caught in cycles of miscommunication and misinterpretation that builds up and solidifies through the years. My approach to working with families is identifying such cycles and unearthing and understanding each member’s intentions. I believe that more often than not, family members have good intentions, and when this is brought to light, defenses can soften, and the healing process can ensue.

Each family has its own unique personality that impacts the functioning of its members. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models and the approach I take will be catered to your family dynamics and the special challenges that brought you here today. When working with the family, I help improve their ability communicate openly to challenging issues and work through ups and downs in their relationships.

Family dynamics are complicated. Each family has established patterns, such as how everyone communicates within the family system, how they deal with stressful situations and conflict, their roles in the family unit and how members seek support from one another. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute family therapy consultation to see if I am the right fit for your family.

Family therapy is a challenging mode of psychotherapy. No two children grow up in the same family and everyone's perceptions of their family dynamic are varied, sometimes drastically so. I am happy to work with members of the same family and to do so individually and to come together when possible and necessary to understand the dynamics within a family. If you are the family member who is seen as the "problem", chances are you are the one who is willing to identify the issues that other family members choose to overlook. Family therapy can also be a great benefit to mothers, who carry the burden of responsibility for several other family members and who lose themselves in the process.

When an individual in the family experiences an ongoing issue it typically affects the entire family. In family therapy Sarah involves various family members in sessions to assist them to understand how each member's behaviour affects the others. This benefits the family by assisting them in learning new communication and conflict resolution skills and by helping to create greater closeness and sense of commitment through the resolution of family hurts and traumas. Typically family therapy results in improved communication, a greater ability to work together as a family team, a greater sense of mutual respect and connectedness and a resolution of the issues that cause division in the family.

The relationships in your family can often bring you love, joy, and a sense of fulfillment. But when things aren't going well, your relationships can be exhausting and painful. Family therapy provides a safe and fair space for all of you to be heard, and can help you discover and process the root of the issue. Family therapy is hard work, but when all individuals are willing to put the work in, great things can happen.
