Family Counseling Services in Rosemont, CA.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
