Let’s explore if I’m the right person to assist on your family’s journey.
When our children struggle, we as parents struggle. We want laughter, peace, safety and good memories. But life is often difficult! Parenting is often hard! Our children can experience challenges in school, with siblings and friends, with learning differences, physical disabilities, chronic illness, grief, loss, and anxiety. We can experience difficulty in understanding them and their perceptions, and ultimately in connecting to our children in the ways we long to. Having a highly trained counselor to walk along side you, offering guidance and help can make a huge difference for both your child and yourself.

I love working with couples. Maybe you are couple who deeply love each other but just can't stop fighting, a couple who is trying to decide if staying together still makes sense, or maybe you have a specific issue to address, I welcome you. I use a couples counseling model based on attachment science called Emotionally Focused Therapy. In EFT we believe that when we have a safe and secure attachment base, in this case with our partner, we are empowered to live more fully into a true self that is able to take risks, explore our world, and respond with resilience to the ups and downs of life.

Over 40 years I've been dealing with family, career, and relationship issues or the deeper unsettling part of each of us.
It's hard for anyone to talk about personal issues. Anyone brave enough to do this launches themselves into a life giving process that increases the possibilities of their lives forever. It brings about unbelievable changes opening possibilities never thought of. It's hard work. It's scary. But it teaches one to live effectively with what life has brought and create changes that enhance the life that is. It's a journey into the good and the bad that takes a person to new heights. It's an exploration that creates love and light in a life.

Family Therapy
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.
