Family Counseling Services in Eagle Lake, TX.

Your family interactions may be challenging to the point that you are ready to seek help. Family therapy can help ease some of the tension through open, respectful communication about feelings and needs. When children are involved, we may utilize filial therapy, which involves parents learning a way of interacting with the children that facilitates healing through play. Whether you are seeking support for your marriage relationship, working on relationship issues with children of any age, or relationship challenges with parents, understanding and improved communication skills can help resolve conflict. You are welcome to call to schedule an appointment.

Our family of origin affects everything about who we are. They are so important to us, yet can hold us back as well. As we develop healthy boundaries in all our family relationships, we can begin to find hope. Your marriage and children must be your priority over all other relationships except God. But baggage from the past, or unwanted interference from siblings and parents that is still going on today can cause so much damage. I can help you learn how to manage these relationships.

My approach is grounded in recognizing and addressing the unique dynamics that exist within family systems. I work collaboratively with families to foster open communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen the bonds between family members. Ultimately, family counseling promotes healthier relationships, improved understanding, and a more harmonious family environment, leading to long-lasting positive changes and enhanced family functioning.

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.

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.
