Имея более семи лет опыта работы в области психического здоровья, на своих консультациях я считаю важным создать безопасное пространство для исследования эмоций и понимания жизненных установок, которые больше не приносят вам пользы. Если вам нужна терапия, чтобы поговорить о прошлом опыте или поработать над достижением поставленых целей, я буду рад присоединиться к вам в этом путешествии. Вместе мы сможем найти ваш потенциал, наладить отношения и найти то, что сделает Вашу жизнь лучше.

I counsel children, families, and couples, focusing on children's feelings and improving family dynamics.
Children experience the world differently. Adults can talk; children prefer to play. Play therapy allows freedom and growth. The play experience takes children's focus off negative self-talk and promotes positive self-awareness. Play therapy helps to explore emotions, work through challenges, and nurtures mastery and resilience. As a Registered Play Therapist with advanced training in play therapy, I can help you find a way to connect with your child. A fully equipped playroom with special toys allows children to fully express their feelings, and supports their growth and changes.

Are you ready to maximize your strengths while learning to accommodate the areas of need? Would you like to master the dance of interpersonal communication using your emotions as a compass in navigating your relationships? Will you explore your past and present to design your future?

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.
