“I work to help families understand and communicate with each other better. I help them uncover the complex and varied realities that impact them while moving them to a better and healthier relationship.” I have a passion for working with all ages, races, cultures and orientations. I incorporate mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and methods by Satir and Minuchin into my sessions. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families to regain healthier ways of communicating and the ability to live with themselves as well as each other.

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.

I believe that as we grow up we are shaped by our relationships; this starts from the time we are little and continues for the rest of our lives. Through these relationships we are also shaped by society. In being shaped we create various meaning from our experiences as well as receiving and giving instructions on how to live. When we form new relationships of any kind, this gets challenged; coming together and finding a path forward that celebrates all involved is the key to success.

Family therapists are trained to look at family dynamics and to work on relationships, treating the family as a whole instead of each individual separately. We know that a family can be a wonderful source of healing, but it can also be a tremendous source of pain. Healthy relationships take a lot of work. It’s not always easy to share our lives, so family therapy aims to help build strong and satisfying relationships. Family plays a role in who we individually are and it can adapt and build resiliency by showing support, understanding, connecting, and finding new ways of relating. Family therapy allows the family to connect in moments of pain and explore new family roles and behavior.

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.

Family therapy looks at the entire family system—parents, children, extended family members—to identify strengths and problematic behaviours. I collaborate with families on strategies for utilizing their own capabilities for resolving problems, and on developing effective communication and problem-solving skills for preventing conflicts. I specialize in working with families of teenagers, which is an age that can be challenging for both the teenagers and their parents.

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 has a wide range of definitions and constructions. However you identify yours is the way I identify it and how we will work. All family members are welcome or you may decide just a parent unit wants to explore parenting issues, or a parent and child may want to work on that relationship. One example of a family unit I often work with is the mother/daughter dyad. Often times this special and complicated relationship needs outside support, and clients find I am able to offer that needed support in a way that fosters communication and bonding. Any way that you need it, I am here to help with finding security in the family relationship.

Family therapy is often the treatment of choice for families who are confronted with specific crisis situations, (such as death, divorce, illness, or child/adolescent issues). When the family is the client, I assess the way members interact and work to improve communication and problem-solving skills, as well as resolve the current life stressors. Each family member plays a role in the way the family interacts and is seen as a vital participant in both the healthy and dysfunctional styles of interaction. Therefore, in family counseling the goal is to assist each member to work together more effectively to create a more functional family unit.

When working with families my goal is to nurture and facilitate growth and change. I involve the family in creating their own solutions. By the use of experiential actitivites and emotionally focused therapy I work to develop healthy communication patterns and stimulate authentic communication of feelings. Through the process of therapy the goal is to create a family that can adapt to change, a family in which each member can develop to be the best they can be and can share and communicate feelings in a environment that is conducive to creating a balance between sharing, family and indivual growth.

I specialize in online parent coaching with the goal of helping you and your family have a closer more intimate relationship.

If I can empower you through my knowledge and experience to implement some strategies at home, you can achieve your goals for your family. The support I provide will be sufficient for many families, but there are some situations that could benefit from the in-vivo coaching and direction that in person family therapy provides.

Families come in so many shapes, colors and sizes. Every family is unique and has its own challenges. I work with all types of families in an non-judgmental way. I focus on the family as a whole, yet still work with each individual and what they bring to the family. I specialize in families with special needs children, families built through adoption, foster care and fost-adopt, families that are LGBTQ. Families can be see in the office or I can go to your home. I also work with extended families and families based on living situations. Call now to start on your way to having a healthy, happy and supportive family.

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.
