Family Counselling Services in Nisku, AB.

A Masters in Marital and Family therapy, including extensive work with struggling families, has prepared me to help you work out your differences, no matter how long they have been troubling you. Sometimes patterns in communication just get "stuck", and we need a little outside help to make new shifts in how we see each other and communicate with one another. I can help you make those shifts!

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.

Regardless of the dynamics of your relationship—be it with family, as a couple, within a throuple, or as part of a close-knit pod—relationship therapy can be a deeply supportive and enriching resource. My primary therapeutic approach is centred on several cognitive therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), and Narrative Therapy. Together, we will work to understand the challenges you encounter and collaborate on ways to address these situations in more effective and helpful ways.

Family Therapy can be very helpful when a family is going through change or crisis together, such as a sudden death, divorce or blending of family. When problems occur in a family it is usually effecting everyone. It is helpful to be able to sit together and hear from each other, and reunite the bond that has been fractured or broken. Family therapy is meant to help strengthen all relationships within a family.

Our families can be our greatest source of support or cause for our most intense pain. Learning to talk and listen with respect is a key to healing. When there is a willingness for openness and acceptance of each other bridges can be mended. It is often easier to do this in a safe place with an objective person. Individual sessions are usually recommended before bringing the family together.

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.

Your family is one of the most important aspects of your life. Therefore, it is extremely important to find a caring professional, who will help your family as a whole to recover and heal. I want to work together with you to achieve reconciliation, forgiveness, strength, understanding, hope, support, peace, agreement, and resolution in your family.

Despite the best intentions of ourselves and our family members, we are often tangled in patterns of invalidation, rejection, frustration and blame. It can feel so messy that we operate in a constant state of fear and a crippling sense of unworthiness. In 2008 I started my counselling career as a family therapist. A combination of individual and joint sessions will take place to allow the space for all voices to be respectfully heard, while helping to identify bigger ‘systems’ patterns that keep you stuck in pain and finger-pointing. I will help to smooth out communication, make room for wants and needs and to heal the old wounds holding you back from having a healthier relationship.

Family conflict is past down to us from previous generations. Engaging with conflict can lead to more compressive understandings of our needs and the needs of others. By exploring family conflict intimacy is increased in our relationships. This exploring is easier said then done, especially because at times it can seem easier to ignore the conflict.
