Family Counselling Services in Yorkton, SK.

Family relationships are complex. Families comes in many different styles from single parent, step-family, extended family, family of origin, chosen family, and married couples I work with families to build communication and skills to move forward in a positive direction. I provide a judgement free atmostphere to explore relationship patterns and build skills. I also provided advice on setting and maintaining boundaries with family members.

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.

I am passionate about building healthy families, and helps all the individuals to be more satisfied in the family, and to grow as individuals. My goal in family therapy, is not help you solve your conflicts, but rather to help you discover what dynamics are contributing to the conflicts. I then help you to alter these dynamics, so you can experience each other in a new manner.

Family relationships can be life giving as well as life draining. It is important to discover the foundational challenge that your family faces. With the real challenge identified, I can help you to better understand your family members and the ways they interact. If desired, I can help guide family members to better understanding of each other and possible reconciliation.
