We choose our friends but not our family. So when we are hurt by a family member the wound runs deep. This is where you can benefit from family therapy. I provide compassionate non judgemental family therapy. My goal is to identify the underlying reasons for the conflicts in your family and help you develop strategies to resolve them. My clients include couples, adults, step parents and adolescents facing stress, relationship problems, parenting challenges and life transition issues. I offer fresh insight, support and guidance to help the family to resolve conflicts and improve communication. I encourage family members to set mutual goals and hold them accountable to follow through.

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.
