Family therapy services in 77372: Splendora, TX. Relationship and couples counseling.

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.

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!

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.

From the time we are born we take cues as to how to think act and feel from our family. As we grow older we become aware of our own separate thoughts and feelings. In some families, independent thinking is encouraged with healthy boundaries that allow for self-expression. In other families, children are taught, to take their cues as to what thoughts and feelings others think they should have. Human beings, struggle for balance, attempting to belong to the group without losing self in the process. We can love our families and honor that unique bond, while still learning to stand as an individual with a strong sense of self. It is with this dynamic in mind that I try to work with families.

Let’s be honest—parents don’t have all the answers, although they wish they did. But they always have a lot of heart and a lot of love for their children. When raising children becomes challenging—or even overwhelming—know that you are not alone. Sometimes parents need help with their children, adolescents, and teens. Every parent has questions about how to improve their parenting, deal with difficult situations, and strengthen family life. Our professional family counselors can give you the guidance you are looking for…and we will also be sure to remind you that if you are filled with a lot of love for your children then you really are a great parent already!

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.

Working with several people at a time helps to support the entire family unit through issues of conflict, trauma, loss, divorce and other challenges. Sometimes, these issues may be related to one or more family members experiencing depression, anxiety or difficulty relating to others. If one is experiencing these issues, family members may be having a difficult time dealing with the stress and conflict related to the problem. My goal is to help you and your family overcome the challenges and pain related to these problems and encourage positive, meaningful connections with family members.

I enjoy working with Families. It is my belief that families are important for each other, community and society. I will work with the family to maximize their communication in a respectful and productive manner. We can look at dysfunctional generational patterns that may be causing strain on the family and find doable solutions to help with restoration of harmony and happiness

Families sometimes find themselves operating in patterns of relationships which leave the family exhausted, scared, frustrated and unable to function. Helping family members operate as healthy independent individuals in order to join and function with the family as a whole is often the first step. The next allows the family to learn how speak, to hear, to listen and to be able to tolerate each individual's differences. The third step is to help foster emotional safety in disagreements, build the connection and encourage vulnerability and resilience leading to deeper and stronger connections and functional interdependence in the family core.

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.

We often wish to have a cohesive family unit where everyone gets along, or at least, enjoys being around each other. Sometimes we are able to achieve that, and sometimes we don’t. When there are issues experienced by one person, it can affect the whole family. There are also instances with life transitions where members move too fast or too slow compared to the rest of the family unit, and that can create friction. Family counseling, designed to improve communication and the connections among family members, can help. We can explore resources to navigate challenges and work towards a brighter, more harmonious future!
