Life is full of challenges. It is also potentially full of joys and celebrations. If you find yourself in a difficult or confusing time in your life, give me a call. I can promise a warm and attentive environment as we work together. Please note that I will see you individually, in your relationship, or, within your family unit.

I bring a social justice lens, meaning I see individual pain as connected to the larger systems we live in like family, culture, spirituality, and politics.
I believe that people who come to consult with me are wanting safety and connection. A sense of safety in their bodies, connection to self, to people they love, to community, or to the larger world. These people may be facing problems that have been called things like anxiety, depression, trauma, disorders, grief, communication or relationship difficulties - names that may or may not feel right to you. Underneath it all, we are looking for the way back to ourselves and each other, to feel safe enough to connect and explore the fullness of life. I want to help you find that way.

“Your first choice for the last people who would ever go to therapy.” In my 20+ years of being a Marriage & Family Therapist, I have enjoyed great success with clients who either had unsuccessful experiences with other counsellors or were reluctant to seek help. My clients report that they find me very easy to talk with and say that I excel at making difficult subjects easy to understand.

My approach is to consider all aspects of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual health, collective family histories, lifestyle, food and nutrition in our time together.
You may come to therapy for relief from depression, anxiety, fear or other stressors. Maybe you want to get to know yourself better, change patterns that are not working for you, or because you aspire to grow and be a better version of yourself. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to navigate your way through life transitions, separation, doubt, difficult choices, pain, trauma, stress, relationships or important life events such as marriage or the birth of a child. I hold a place for you to find your voice, explore options, invite different perspectives, discover your purpose and feel empowered.

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.
