Family Counseling Services in Bellaire, TX.

I enjoy working with Families. It is my belief that families are important for each other, community and society. I will work with the family to maximize their communication in a respectful and productive manner. We can look at dysfunctional generational patterns that may be causing strain on the family and find doable solutions to help with restoration of harmony and happiness

Do you feel disconnected from your wife or kids? Does it feel like you’ve lost control of your home? Or have you experienced something difficult within your family that’s not been resolved? If so, I can help. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I’m an expert in relationships, and have been trained to identify the patterns within families that aren’t working, develop healthier ones, improve communication and understanding, and help families forge a new path forward. This often looks like a combination of family sessions, parent sessions, and individual sessions. I provide online therapy over HIPAA-secure video, and if given the opportunity, would be honored to serve your family.

Let’s be honest—parents don’t have all the answers, although they wish they did. But they always have a lot of heart and a lot of love for their children. When raising children becomes challenging—or even overwhelming—know that you are not alone. Sometimes parents need help with their children, adolescents, and teens. Every parent has questions about how to improve their parenting, deal with difficult situations, and strengthen family life. Our professional family counselors can give you the guidance you are looking for…and we will also be sure to remind you that if you are filled with a lot of love for your children then you really are a great parent already!

Family therapy can be an important aspect of helping a young adult heal from an eating disorder. If you have a family member struggling with an eating disorder, we can help your family work together to support the recovery process. Our approach can not only help your child or partner, but help strengthen bonds within the family and increase effective communication, compassion and understanding.

My approach to family therapy centers on creating a safe and supportive space where each family member can express themselves openly. I work from a family systems perspective, focusing on how relationships within the family impact individual behaviors and emotions. Through compassionate guidance, I help families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build stronger connections. By fostering mutual understanding and encouraging personal growth, my goal is to empower families to navigate challenges together and create a more balanced, harmonious home environment.

Family counseling involves me working with two or more members of your family. We will meet together to work through issues that are affecting the whole family. Some common family therapy issues include family conflict, parenting, co-parenting, mixed families, and other major changes within the family. My approach to family counseling is viewing your family as an interconnected web of relationships. My role is to assist your family in developing styles of interacting that increase harmony and respect among the whole family.

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.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

I am both honored and grateful to have graduated from an American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) accredited program. This implies that AAMFT has reviewed and approved all of the standards put in place for a student's education and training in family therapy. As a therapist, I integrate this training to understand what elements of structure, trust, security, and connection are currently jeopardized within the relationships in a family.

Working with several people at a time helps to support the entire family unit through issues of conflict, trauma, loss, divorce and other challenges. Sometimes, these issues may be related to one or more family members experiencing depression, anxiety or difficulty relating to others. If one is experiencing these issues, family members may be having a difficult time dealing with the stress and conflict related to the problem. My goal is to help you and your family overcome the challenges and pain related to these problems and encourage positive, meaningful connections with family members.

We often wish to have a cohesive family unit where everyone gets along, or at least, enjoys being around each other. Sometimes we are able to achieve that, and sometimes we don’t. When there are issues experienced by one person, it can affect the whole family. There are also instances with life transitions where members move too fast or too slow compared to the rest of the family unit, and that can create friction. Family counseling, designed to improve communication and the connections among family members, can help. We can explore resources to navigate challenges and work towards a brighter, more harmonious future!

Family therapy looks at the entire family system—parents, children, extended family members—to identify strengths and problematic behaviours. I collaborate with families on strategies for utilizing their own capabilities for resolving problems, and on developing effective communication and problem-solving skills for preventing conflicts. I specialize in working with families of teenagers, which is an age that can be challenging for both the teenagers and their parents.

From the time we are born we take cues as to how to think act and feel from our family. As we grow older we become aware of our own separate thoughts and feelings. In some families, independent thinking is encouraged with healthy boundaries that allow for self-expression. In other families, children are taught, to take their cues as to what thoughts and feelings others think they should have. Human beings, struggle for balance, attempting to belong to the group without losing self in the process. We can love our families and honor that unique bond, while still learning to stand as an individual with a strong sense of self. It is with this dynamic in mind that I try to work with families.
