I specialize in childhood trauma, individual counselling, relationship/marital counselling, employee wellness, family counselling and grief counselling.
You feel unfulfilled and empty? That there is more to life but don't know where to start or what is holding you back? Well, you have taken the first step and you should be proud of yourself because I am. Imagine screaming your lungs out and not feeling heard, crying yourself to sleep every night, feeling misunderstood and not being able to articulate how you are feeling. I know that feeling and I am here to help you. The journey to healing is honestly not an easy one but is also not impossible. Self-discovery is a never-ending journey and can be overwhelming, but once you face your truth, it liberates and empowers you.

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.
