Family Counselling Services in Kitchener, ON.

Each family has its own unique personality that impacts the functioning of its members. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models and the approach I take will be catered to your family dynamics and the special challenges that brought you here today. When working with the family, I help improve their ability communicate openly to challenging issues and work through ups and downs in their relationships.

[I ONLY OFFER VIDEO SESSIONS THROUGHOUT ALBERTA FOR FAMILY THERAPY - NOT ONTARIO]. None of us took degrees on how to be great parents, yet despite our best efforts, things can go amuck quickly.

In family therapy, I provide a supportive space for your family to come together, improve communication, and work through challenges as a unit. Whether you’re facing conflict, stress, or feeling disconnected, I help each family member feel heard and understood. Together, we develop healthier ways to resolve disagreements, strengthen relationships, and create a more harmonious and connected family environment where everyone can feel supported and valued.

It is not uncommon in families for patterns to be set and sometimes these patterns are not healthy or helpful for family relationships, or individual mental health. We often learn to tolerate our family members’ behaviour and have difficulty speaking up or expressing how their behaviour impacts us. In my sessions with families, I encourage open, honest communication and ensure that each individual feels validated and gets equal time to be heard. Often difficult conversations can be more successful when there is a neutral person facilitating and promoting respectful, non-confrontational interaction.

We all learn differently, express differently, and quite often perceive experiences differently because we bring a different "lens" and that is why your counsellor needs to be CREATIVE and FLEXIBLE. As parents we feel a deep responsibility to be these great parents and raise remarkable kids, but life isn't so easy and we are far from perfect. We need to give ourselves a break sometimes because we are only doing the best we can with what we have. Sometimes we just need a little help along the way. No matter how large your family is, lets find solutions and have FUN while we are doing it!

Helping families to understand how they interact with one another and how they each respond in different situations is beneficial to being able to enjoy being together as a family. My goal is to ensure that each family member can be heard not only by myself, the counsellor, but also by the other family members. As we are made to be in relationship with other family members, my goal is to help those relationships become stronger and respectful of one another.

Family therapy can be very helpful in improving communication and reducing conflict, increasing cooperation in the family. Families going through changes and transitions can benefit from having someone facilitate communication and cooperative problem solving. Are you facing challenges in your adult family relationships? Family therapy can be a way to have the difficult conversations you would like to have with family members and come to a place of better understanding and acceptance.

My family therapy services focus primarily on addiction related-concerns where I address each family member’s unique feelings and needs as they relates to their loved one’s addiction. Addiction can have a ripple effect on a family, impacting each member in their own way. Whether the family member tries to keep the peace, play the role of the rescuer or has completely withdrawn, I support each member in navigating the situation in a way that feels helpful for them. I work with families to improve communication, set healthy boundaries and learn to take care of their own needs. Families learn how to manage challenges as a team and to support each other without impacting their own wellbeing.
