Family Counseling Services in Patton Village, TX.

Family Therapy is often sought when the family dynamic has reached some level of dysfunction, & family members report feeling "stuck" in their ways & unsure how to move forward in a positive direction. By the time a family typically decides to seek counseling, the interpersonal relationships among family members have become so habitually toxic that expecting a family to find solutions to their troubles on their own is a fairly futile venture. Each family member is usually responsible for some level of the dysfunction, & this is what makes these issues "family issues." Using a family systems approach, you will (re)learn how to operate as a more cohesive & emotionally connected family unit.

Each family structure is unique. Members have their roles and operation within the family. The interaction of each family member produces a benefit or fulfills a need in the family. As a family therapist, my part is to help your family find solutions to issues, utilize strengths, improve communication and develop healthy functioning. Take action today. Call to schedule your family session.

Home is where the heart is. Well worn sayings get that way because they are true! Not surprisingly, hope, connectivity, safety, attunement, learning, sorrow, pain and alienation live together in varying degrees in our lives...and families. Checking in to see how we thrive or fail can be a compelling and challenging ride. Good therapy provides clarity, compassion and well-proven technique that enlivens and cements our quest for connection and a sense of comfort and growth. You'll find all of the above here. I look forward to hearing from you - as we walk together toward that special place!

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.

Working with families is some of the most rewarding work that can be done. A lot of the time we think that if that one person would fix themselves, then everything would be just fine. That usually isn't the case. Teaching families how to communicate effectively is an invaluable tool. If you are looking to restore or just improve your current family situation, please call me.

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.

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.
