In a healthy family, there are clearly defined roles, rules and boundaries. Participating in family therapy can help families reflect on how they've been negotiating the roles, rules, and boundaries in their family and determine if restructuring is needed for positive change and healing. In a safe, comfortable, confidential therapeutic setting, I am prepared to help with this process. In family counseling, I've helped families deal with a variety of challenges including blending a family, coping with major loss and change, first time parents, financial difficulties, overcoming abuse, and more.

For me, family therapy can include any combination of individuals in your life required to resolve an issue of concern for you. I've worked with employees and business owners, parents and adult children, in-laws, blended families, neighbors, best friends, and numerous other combinations. My focus is on meeting with those who are important to you to create win/win outcomes.

Given the wide variety of family issues I have encountered over the years, I have adopted an integrated therapeutic approach. Hence, clients will receive general psychoeducation in a number of areas including: values discovery, parenting, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, boundary setting, sibling rivalry, mutual respect and accountability to mention a view. As your "group therapy leader," session time will be effectively managed. Role-plays will be utilized extensively to allow for relative freedom of expression. In addition, homework assignments are a prominent and prevalent component to our intervention strategy. Finally, priority is given to confidentiality and trust.

My approach to the healing of the family is to work with each individual in the family system bringing healing from damaged emotions. When this is accomplished, the family is able to relate from an emotionally healthy perspective. I also do temperament analysis which enables me to understand and share the unique temperament of each family member. Creation Therapy (temperament analysis) gives you your unique creation genetically coded into you at the time of your conception. Your temperament determines how you perceive God, yourself and others. CT identifies your strengths and your weaknesses. CT identifies your needs and how to get them met. Do not wait.

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.

At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.

Families can be challenging as there are many different personalities all trying to get along with each other, while also trying to get their own needs met. Families can easily become chaotic and disengaged due to unresolved conflicts over the years. Depending on the presenting problems, I may work with all of the family members together, individually or the parents by themselves. My primary goal is help the family become as functional as possible, while helping each of the family members live happy and healthy lives. Depression, anxiety, addiction and trauma can all create an imbalance in the family system and my job is properly diagnose the problems and create an effective treatment plan.

Family dynamics can be complex, with each member bringing unique perspectives, emotions, and needs to the table. My approach to family counseling focuses on creating a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels heard and valued. I work collaboratively with families to identify patterns of communication, address underlying conflicts, and foster mutual understanding. By blending modern techniques with proven approaches, I help families rebuild trust, strengthen connections, and develop healthier, more supportive relationships that benefit everyone involved.
