Family relationships play an important role in our lives and can provide us with a strong sense of connection and belonging. When challenges/stresses arise they can have a ripple effect on everyone involved. I help families identify the issues involved, find direction, and establish more effective tools in communicating with each other and progress toward resolution of concerns.

Within a systemic framework, it is believed that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Thus, changing the way a family interacts also changes the lives of each of its individual members. Family members have a reciprocal relationship where the role one person takes directly influence another member and their ability to change. I aim to help family members learn to see the patterns in their relationships to help shift perspectives, create clearer boundaries, and to establish balance within the family system.

Family Systems Therapy is used to address many issues that can arise within the context of a family unit.

Some of our psychologists are focused specifically on family therapy and helping understanding individuals and families identify power struggles, communication problems, and other personal and family issues.

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.
