Family crisis exists on a broad spectrum. A crisis may stem from an acute disruption to long-term erosion. Occasionally a family in crisis considers separation. Through a discernment counseling model, I specialize in helping families navigate their thoughts of separation with clarity, primacy and compassion. My approach focuses on reducing familial conflict, improving parental communication, and prioritizing the well-being of children. Whether through psychotherapy, mediation or co-parenting support, I help individuals and families work through the complexities of separation in a way that fosters healing and cooperation.
My practice is focused on aiding individuals, couples and families who are in crisis and may be considering divorce. The emotional complexity of a divorce can often overwhelm one's ability to maintain. Therapy can help regulate those emotions, while mediation and co-parenting support can reduce the potential for harm and provide support moving forward.
If you are involved in a family crisis and you feel that therapy can be helpful to you, your family or someone in your family - please reach out. Family crisis, with or without a divorce produces a heavy burden on everyone involved, and no one should have to carry that burden alone.

It may take some time to discover what a couple may defines as "a successful outcome" in therapy. Sometimes, the definition is inconsistent, unclear or completely unknown. Developing treatment goals is a collaborative effort. Patience, understanding and sensitivity are strengths to focus on while we navigate the many layers of conflict that have led to the crisis.

The psychodynamic approach to treating a family in crisis can be highly effective as it focuses on pressures which may lay below the surface of consciousness. Often a family in crisis does not have the presence of mind to see beyond their more immediate concerns - a trained psychotherapist can be a wonderful tool for uncovering patterns which inhibit a family from progressing successfully.
