Family Counselling Services in Grande Prairie, AB.

Family dynamics can be tricky. By working together we can figure out better ways of communicating, being hear, and seen, and moving towards a more balanced dynamic. If you are having a difficult time after your divorce and are trying to co-parent with your ex-partner, I can also support you with the right tools and co-parenting techniques that can transform your relationships.

Dysfunctions in families occur in a variety of forms; thus in working with families, I use a variety of theoreetical models including Family Systems, Satir, Attachment Theory, Observed Experiential Integration, and Gottman. I am committed to seeing each family member respected and having their needs met. To accomplish this, I may meet with the entire family, or one on one accordingly.

Do you deeply love the people you live with, but secretly do not like them very much? Do you find yourself wondering why domestic life has become so hard? Do you fear you are losing the closeness with your family members that you once enjoyed? If so - there IS help available. We will work together to identify areas of struggle, come up goals for therapy, and learn to implement new strategies for working through trouble spots in your family relationships. This will help you to have more peace in your home so you can truly enjoy the people you love again.

Families have rules, even if they are unspoken ones. When one person in a family breaks the rules or is experiencing problems or makes a change, the other family members feel it and either react or make a change themselves (systems theory). I base my work with families on this theory and use emotion focused therapy to help the family understand each other and resolve conflict or other difficulties.

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.
