Family Counseling Services in Berkley, CO.

In family therapy I use drumming to help parents, kids and teens to create positive connections. It helps them to learn to listen, connect and look at the possibilities that are open to them as a family. It's playful and fun, yet meaningful in that they are connecting and coming up with new ideas, and possibilities for positive change. With this method, kids feel connected with their family and together they have an opportunity to create, play, have fun and at the same time, grow in family bonding.

In family therapy, I draw on the work of both Virginia Satir and Michael White to create a collaborative space where each family member feels valued. Inspired by Satir’s emphasis on connection and authenticity, we explore family dynamics without placing blame on any one person, seeking instead to understand how certain patterns have taken shape. Using White’s narrative approach, we also look at the stories each person holds about their role within the family, inviting re-authoring conversations that foster empathy, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Together, we build on shared values to create a supportive, growth-oriented environment for all.
