Family therapy services in 92261: Palm Desert, CA. Relationship and couples counseling.

Sometimes real change takes more than an individual - it requires a family. When I think about any problem a person could face as an individual, whether it be a health concern, mental illness, or an addiction, the family can be the single greatest source of support or the single greatest problem. I provide targeted therapy to bolster the support that is the family.

Family therapy focuses on understanding and improving the dynamics within a family system. In our work together, I help family members explore their relationships, communication patterns, and individual roles within the family unit. Using a collaborative approach, I create a safe space for each person to express their feelings, concerns, and perspectives. By fostering open communication, empathy, and mutual understanding, we can address conflicts, build stronger connections, and work toward healthier family dynamics. Family therapy can provide profound healing, as it encourages growth not only for the individual but for the entire family system.

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 dysregulated (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.
