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.

Feel your family is dysfunctional? Most families are. I will provide a space in which everyone is heard and respected. I will look at the whole family as a unit and help you develop new strategies for interactions as a family. I will also look at how each memeber of the family relates to the other members and help you develop new ways of responding and communicating. No member of the family will be left out as we build a stronger family unit.

Family can be our main source of comfort and safety. It can also be a source of conflict, and difficulty. We spend the most time with our family, so if there's ongoing conflict, life at home can be tough. Family therapy is about getting to see the underlying needs in each other, and meeting those needs so that we can let go of the conflict and move forward. As humans, we all have the same needs and emotions, so they work as a universal language. I will help you get to the root of family conflict so you can all get your needs met and move forward.

The relationships between children and their parents, within a marriage, and between siblings have a strong, ongoing influence on happiness, emotional development and coping skills. The counselors at Foundations Counseling can help you and your loved ones create supportive interactions and build strong, positive communication skills that will repair and enhance the closest and most important relationships in your life. You will be able to explore feelings of hurt and anger within an environment of emotional safety. Call today to find out if family therapy is the right choice for you and your loved ones.
