Human beings are always searching for connections. Anything that hinders this need (or goal) will result to instability. Clients need someone to be with them as they ground themselves to accept defeat, find balance or peace.

Does this sound like you? Are you someone who never feels good enough? You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" and maybe you've even been to therapy before… but you need support. Maybe you're looking for support with saying what you mean, trying to decrease the inner critic and perfectionism, and not people-pleasing anymore. Or, maybe you need support leaving a toxic job or relationship, or setting boundaries with the people in your life or struggle with focusing and completing a task. I am here to help.

I am currently taking new clients. If you come to see me, you will probably laugh sometimes. That might surprise some people who think of therapy as something serious. I think of therapy as something that's very human. Sure, we will probably talk about upsetting things - that's why you're going, after all, because something is distressing and not working. But sometimes finding the humour in our situations is part of what needs to happen. Laughter, tears, "Ah ha!" moments - they're all there and important. I am also available for supervision to other social work practitioners.

Family Therapy Counsellors

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
