My approach is holistic, practicing a combination of transpersonal psychology, person-centered, gestalt and family systems therapy, somatic and mindful techniques to guide us to the source of your current struggle.
Life’s challenges can be difficult to cope with. We all feel stuck at some point in our lives and need support. Stress can leave you drained, anxious, ruminating and wondering how to move forward. Life-transition(s) can be challenging and overwhelming whether it be moving to a new place, changes in a significant relationship, or the loss of a loved one. You are not alone. Thank you for taking a step to look into therapy. In doing so you are taking an active part in your healing, courageously reaching for what you would like to have in your life. I will support you with building awareness and increasing resiliency.

If you’re here, then you’ve probably run into a very difficult time in life, and you’re looking for ways to get through it. A metaphor I find helpful is the idea of life as a journey, with lots of good terrain, but also lots of tough terrain. The tough terrain can represent many different struggles: relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, family challenges, loss… you name it. A counsellor can be thought of as a local guide who is familiar with the tough terrain, and has experience helping people navigate the most difficult parts of their journey.

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.
