We often see photos on social media of happy families living their best lives, which sometimes leave us feeling like we pale in comparison. There is no such thing as a perfect family. We all experience the messy stuff. Being a part of a family can be a place of protection, safety and love but can also be where deep-rooted pain lives. Unresolved issues within families build over time and can get passed on from generation to generation. My intention is to offer a safe place for families to to express concerns without fear of blowouts or further breakdown. Healing can occur when support is provided by a therapist who can facilitate communication and help repair what is broken in the system.

In Family Therapy, I work with all family members to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen family dynamics. Each family member’s perspective is valued, and we focus on fostering understanding and empathy within the family unit. Using a blend of systems theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help families address patterns of behavior that contribute to tension or disconnection. My approach encourages open dialogue, promotes emotional support, and helps families develop healthier coping strategies, leading to stronger, more resilient relationships that support every member’s well-being.

Life is particularly difficult for families these days. With the challenges of both parents working, the confusing world of social networking and technology, social peer relations conflicts, confusing alignments in the separated/divorced and blended parenting roles, it is no wonder that families get lost. In my sessions, a trusting warm and safe environment is established where clients feel that they can share their concerns and be heard. Through CBT and mediation, the family is given strategies to assist them in getting their family unit working together with the goal of “getting back on track”. Organizational tools and reasonable expectations are important key strategies also given.

Family conflict is a common issue which most of us are faced with at one time or another. I've been able to help hundreds of folks work through various types of family conflict by teaching them how to develop the healthiest boundaries possible to ensure they honour their feelings and needs while establishing a healthier family dynamic whenever possible. Many strategies are offered such as marital therapy, parenting strategies, family communication, development of healthy boundaries. I also have much knowledge and experience working with individuals and families who struggle with living in a family where narcissism or a psychopathy is present.

Trish joyes works specifically with parenting coaching. Parenting coaching assists in overcoming battles between parents and their children. It also assists in understanding behaviours, disabilities and other areas a parent may be struggling with that their children happen to be going through. Parents benefit from better relationships with their children, having calmer homes, and grasping some of their children's behaviours.

Family dynamics can be challenging to navigate even during the best of times, and family therapy can help each member of the family unit find new ways to relate, connect, and communicate with each other. Giving each family member the chance to feel heard and valued while also navigating external stressors like work and school can be a struggle, so I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore patterns of interaction that they want to strengthen or change, while highlighting each member’s contributions, and celebrating the family’s successes.

I have worked with adult children and their parents, to create a safe space for them to work on the different perspectives on issues. Family Therapy gives them a respectful way to listen to the other party's voices instead of insisting on their own voice to be heard. It may need to start with better communication skills, active listening, understanding the cycle or the pattern which might have existed for a long long time. Learning how to build healthier boundaries in the family.

Models of therapy I incorporate for family therapy include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

In family counselling, I use a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and family systems theory to help families improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen connection. We explore interaction patterns, uncover underlying emotions, and understand how each member’s experiences shape the family dynamic. Together, we work toward creating a safe space where all voices can be heard and respected. This process fosters empathy, reduces tension, and builds healthier relationships that support the well-being of the entire family.

Families are systems—and when one part is hurting, everyone feels it.

With culturally responsive care, our therapists support families in building empathy, setting healthy boundaries, and co-creating a more peaceful home life.

We are made for both being in relationships, and for being unique in our individuality. Putting these together in a way that honours both individuals and the family as a whole is an ongoing challenge. Our goals in family counselling is to clarify what those challenges are, the factors which contribute to them, and ways of resolving issues so the family and its members can not only survive, but can thrive.
