Family Counseling Services in Thornton, CO.

Family therapy is based on the belief that each family is a unique social system with its own structure and patterns of communication. These patterns are determined by many factors, including the parents' beliefs and values as well as the personalities of all family members. I assist in identifying conflicts and anxieties and helping families develop strategies to resolve issues and strengthen family members so they can work on their challenges together. During therapy sessions, the family's strengths are used to help handle challenges and all members take responsibility.

Feel your family is dysfunctional? Most families are. I will provide a space in which everyone is heard and respected. I will look at the whole family as a unit and help you develop new strategies for interactions as a family. I will also look at how each memeber of the family relates to the other members and help you develop new ways of responding and communicating. No member of the family will be left out as we build a stronger family unit.

In family therapy, I draw on the work of both Virginia Satir and Michael White to create a collaborative space where each family member feels valued. Inspired by Satir’s emphasis on connection and authenticity, we explore family dynamics without placing blame on any one person, seeking instead to understand how certain patterns have taken shape. Using White’s narrative approach, we also look at the stories each person holds about their role within the family, inviting re-authoring conversations that foster empathy, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Together, we build on shared values to create a supportive, growth-oriented environment for all.

Whenever there is distress with one member of a family, it affects every single other person in that family. The most effective way to address issues within a family is to work with each of the family members individually, then bring the family together as a whole. This works to heal past hurts and optimize communication. Your family can come together as a healthy, happy group. Contact me to determine if family counseling is right for you.

Family can be our main source of comfort and safety. It can also be a source of conflict, and difficulty. We spend the most time with our family, so if there's ongoing conflict, life at home can be tough. Family therapy is about getting to see the underlying needs in each other, and meeting those needs so that we can let go of the conflict and move forward. As humans, we all have the same needs and emotions, so they work as a universal language. I will help you get to the root of family conflict so you can all get your needs met and move forward.

When one member of a family is affected, the entire family system is also affected. The most effective way to address any issues is to work with all family members together.

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.
