Family Therapy

Families are not simple, right?

When things are running smoothly with people getting along, talking, interacting, having fun together, and getting things done, family life seems simple.

However, that’s not always the case though, is it?

Sometimes families are in conflict. Tensions rise, harsh words are spoken, feelings get hurt, and communication breaks down.

It’s quite painful and upsetting when the relationships with those most precious to us are in a bad place.

“What’s become of us? Things aren’t working. We used to be so close.”

Sometimes, raising a family is not easy, but it’s one of the most important things we do in life.

When things in the family unit get rough, it may be time for intervention with family therapy.

Family therapy is for the entire family unit.

Many people don’t know what family therapy is. Really, it’s quite simple. It’s a treatment approach designed to help the entire family as a unit.

Family therapy is organized around the strengths and value of each member and the contributions they can make to better functioning as a family unit.

Each family member’s voice needs to be heard.

In family therapy, each person’s perspective needs to be heard, valued, and respected, from the youngest to the oldest. It’s an approach that sees the family as an interactive system comprised of each member’s role.

How I can help your family…

As a seasoned family therapist, I will work with the family to identify strengths while helping to improve communication, decrease conflict, improve overall functioning, and navigate through difficult periods of transition, stages of growth, and development of its members.

When problems persist and haven’t gotten better, it’s probably time to ask for help.
