Family Counselling Services in Martensville, SK.

When working with families, I work largely from a Family Systems Model (meaning that families seek homeostasis, which requires each family member to 'stick to' their prescribed role), and an Attachment Model (developing a secure relationship, or fixing an insecure one, with ourselves and caregivers or significant others). In a therapeutic setting, we address one issue at a time and focus on more effective ways of communicating (for example, developing reflective listening skills). I work with all configurations of families - parents and adult children, siblings, a parent and young child or teen. With young children and adults trying to rebuild trust, I integrate art therapy into my work.

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 dysregulated (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.

Despite the best intentions of ourselves and our family members, we are often tangled in patterns of invalidation, rejection, frustration and blame. It can feel so messy that we operate in a constant state of fear and a crippling sense of unworthiness. In 2008 I started my counselling career as a family therapist. A combination of individual and joint sessions will take place to allow the space for all voices to be respectfully heard, while helping to identify bigger ‘systems’ patterns that keep you stuck in pain and finger-pointing. I will help to smooth out communication, make room for wants and needs and to heal the old wounds holding you back from having a healthier relationship.
