Families often times will need positive guidance and emotional support to improve relationships and resolve conflict. Through family therapy I can help you to learn how to better communicate your feelings and expectations to each other, as well as better understand yourself and your family members. We can also resolve negative feelings and manage problem behaviors within the 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.
