Families are complex! Healing family problems can feel like untangling a giant hairball. That's because in some ways, it is. Your family is a network of 1:1 relationships. We first identify key conflict areas and then work to rebuild trust between individuals. Once understanding is restored, we bring it to a family level. Whether working with children, the marriage, in-laws, or siblings, the process remains similar. We get to the root of core emotions, untangling problems inhibiting communication and keeping us in negative cycles.

I believe God created us for relationship and that good relationships take effort. I incorporate listening skills, attachment styles, relational skills, and biblical principles into my family therapy. I believe that it is necessary for us to make the relationship more important than any issue we may have with a person. Forgiveness is key and possible when we choose to let Jesus heal the wound.

Family therapy looks at the entire family system—parents, children, extended family members—to identify strengths and problematic behaviours. I collaborate with families on strategies for utilizing their own capabilities for resolving problems, and on developing effective communication and problem-solving skills for preventing conflicts. I specialize in working with families of teenagers, which is an age that can be challenging for both the teenagers and their parents.

Families undergo stress and change and often don't know how to resolve issues. Exploring family dynamics and hearing the problem story help create new ways to communicate and write a new family story in which communication is improved and relationships are strengthened. Families are living, breathing entities which need to be nurtured in addition to the individual needs of its members.

Are there problems going on related to your child's school work, or your child's behavior in general, or in your child's relationships with children the same age? And when you try to talk about it, your child just gets frustrated and angry? Do you and you spouse disagree about what to do with your child? Are you in a second marriage, trying to deal with all the issues common to stepfamilies? I've been working with all kinds of families, and all kinds of family problems, for dozens of years. I can help.

Our approach to family therapy engages each member of the family as part of the larger family system, with each person bringing strengths and contributions necessary to the family's success. We work in therapy to help each member of the family to recognize and value the contributions of other family members. The goal of family counseling is not to create perfect families, but ones that love and value each family member. We focus on enhancing family communication while discouraging disruptive, dysfunctional, or demeaning behaviors. We also help families to develop healthy boundaries to protect and preserve relationships in the family.

Aren't families interesting? A family is a system, so when one part breaks down, all the other parts are effected. If you are having difficulties with a family member, consider therapy. Sometimes you can change the whole system by changing yourself. Sometimes it's most helpful for two or more of the family to come in together. Give therapy a chance. Your Tomorrow Can Feel Better Than Today.

Family counseling starts by me providing a safe and structured space for open communication, allowing family members to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a supportive environment. Family counseling helps identify and address negative patterns of interaction within the family system. I will facilitate discussions that explore problems within the family and guide the family towards healthier and more effective ways of relating to one another. During the counseling sessions, I will help facilitate growth, healing, and a stronger family bond, contributing to the overall happiness and functioning of the entire family.

Family therapy helps family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. I am trained in several evidence-based family therapies approaches. When conducting family therapy, I am treating the family unit not simply one person in the family. Therefore, I examine the family relationships, behaviors, and patterns and how those factors impact the functioning of the family.

Family therapy takes a look at the "system" in which your family operates. Perceptions of children and communication styles of parents often create conflict and roadblocks to creating a healthy home environment and healthy relationships. Giving parents and children tools to create good communication can unlock hope and wholeness. Boundaries are very important in families, as well as parental unity.

Your family used to be happy, pleasant, and engaged, but now it's not. You have tried to fix it, but it only seems to be getting worse. I have worked with dozens of families helping them get back feeling connected, peaceful, and happy. By identifying each person's goals, validating each person's experience, and clarifying expectations I get families communicating effectively affirming each other, and feeling more connected. In order to get you family on track follow these simple steps: Step 1 - Set up an appointment. Step 2 - Share your concerns. Step 3 - Listen for insights. Do not let the distance and frustration rise to a breaking point. Schedule today and get your family back!
