Family therapy is based on the belief that each family is a unique social system with its own structure and patterns of communication. These patterns are determined by many factors, including the parents' beliefs and values as well as the personalities of all family members. I assist in identifying conflicts and anxieties and helping families develop strategies to resolve issues and strengthen family members so they can work on their challenges together. During therapy sessions, the family's strengths are used to help handle challenges and all members take responsibility.

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.

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.

Whenever there is distress with one member of a family, it affects every single other person in that family. The most effective way to address issues within a family is to work with each of the family members individually, then bring the family together as a whole. This works to heal past hurts and optimize communication. Your family can come together as a healthy, happy group. Contact me to determine if family counseling is right for you.
