“We cannot protect our children from life. Therefore, it is essential we prepare them for it.” Rudolf Dreikurs. Does your child struggle with challenges related to anxiety, emotion regulation, ASD, ADHD or other developmental needs? Are daily routines and transitions challenging at home and school? Working from a nonjudgmental, warm and client centered approach, I focus on the unique needs of each child and family as I guide them to establish structure, improve peace and cooperation in the home, while exploring strategies to empower clients to discover their strengths, and develop life long skills that support mental wellness.

As well, family estrangement is particularly close to my heart, and something I’ve researched and written about extensively.
Hi, everyone. Individuals, couples and poly folks tend to seek me out because I’m clear-headed, sincere and deeply hopeful. So, if you’re having feelings of anger, disconnection or overwhelming anxiety, we can find ways for you to feel lighter, easier, more certain. People processing childhood trauma and abuse, or grappling with low self-esteem, powerlessness and grief — they find relief here too. We start with what feels helpful for you — sometimes that’s having a safe sounding board; other times it’s having a co-problem solver with tools right beside you. My sense of humour is a plus, so is my endless curiosity and compassion.

Our lives each contain moments of great joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, opportunity, and obstacle. At the center of these experiences is our innate search for connection. We need relationships, they are precious and critical, and yet they are not always easy to navigate. Do you struggle to express your needs to your partner? Or perhaps you have a hard time setting boundaries with a parent, friend or colleague? Maybe you find yourself repeating the same argument with a sibling or family member?

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.
