At Reflections Counseling of Denton your family counselor is an advocate for your entire family by promoting reconnection and facilitating communication. Parents and teens learn to listen and understand each other. You work to find common ground on a variety of issues, including school, discipline, and appropriate ways to disagree.

Together, you can overcome any obstacle your family faces.

Family therapy looks at the entire family system—parents, children, extended family members—to identify strengths and problematic behaviours. I collaborate with families on strategies for utilizing their own capabilities for resolving problems, and on developing effective communication and problem-solving skills for preventing conflicts. I specialize in working with families of teenagers, which is an age that can be challenging for both the teenagers and their parents.

I believe God created us for relationship and that good relationships take effort. I incorporate listening skills, attachment styles, relational skills, and biblical principles into my family therapy. I believe that it is necessary for us to make the relationship more important than any issue we may have with a person. Forgiveness is key and possible when we choose to let Jesus heal the wound.
