Family Counseling Services in Orangevale, CA.

I love working with families! I know that it is important for each family member to feel seen, heard, and included. I can help families create healthy boundaries with each other and work through parent-child and sibling problems. I also help families improve their communication and work through divorce, the loss of a fmaily member, and changes or transitions that occur and through family members off-balannce.

Involving the family members in therapy can be extremely helpful in dealing with issues such as anger, co-parenting, and addiction. I also work with adolescents and their parents by bringing them together into sessions so that everyone can be heard in a supportive setting. Family members who have different communication styles can benefit from being in a therapeutic setting so that all voices can be heard and understood.

A family is like a mobile, it takes balance to make it work well. Balance with work and play, balance with parents and children's needs, talking and listening (that is a biggie). We all need to be heard even if we do not agree with another person. Parents need to have consequences when the kids do not follow the rules of the home. Without consequences the kids keep repeating the same things. Children need eye contact from their parents. There are simple helps like these that will make a beautiful difference in your family life.

I utilize a variety of Cognitive Behavioral, Object Relations, Internal Family Systems, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy approaches, which center on Mindfulness skills to strengthen authentic contact with Self and Others. Emotion Regulation, and effective Communication are often key areas which benefit. This serves as a foundation for resolving conflicts, and facilitates a healthy balance in roles and relationships. I have worked with complex family challenges in a variety of settings, including schools, foster family agencies, and outpatient private practice.

Are you seeking family counseling because your home life feels more like a battle ground than the loving supportive environment you would like? Do family interactions often result in angry outbursts, misunderstanding, or disconnection? I offer family counseling that creates a safe supportive space for family members to recognize and understand negative communication patterns and complicated emotional factors such as anger, resentment, or stress that get in the way of the family you want to be. Together we can develop new communication skills that forge secure bonds of connection and a more loving, peaceful family. Your most important relationship is worth the call. (916) 622-4372

Family Counseling does not just incorporate the married couple. Family counseling involves the children, parents, grandparents and possibly even friends of the family. If your relationship issues stem from something more than just a conflict directly in your marriage, you may benefit from family counseling. In these sessions, I will meet with the couples as well as the extended family members that must learn to communicate better with one another, achieve common goals, and learn to work together. The family is the most important team you will ever be a part of. Learn how to make it the best team.

Family therapy can be challenging and extremely rewarding. I can help your family sort through issues that tear you apart. Through peaceful negotiation and active listening techniques, your family can learn to communicate in a respectful and loving way so that any issue can be resolved in a way that nurtures and protects the family unit as well as each individual involved.

I have extensive experience facilitating parenting groups and family therapy sessions. I especially enjoy working with parents with teens and helping blended families develop healthy relational functioning within a new system. I rely on family systems interventions to help you and loved ones achieve conflict-free communication, respect, love, acceptance, and understanding.

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.
