Family Therapy

Each family has its own distinctive way of communicating. The particular style of relating is often what contributes toward family closeness. However, as families move through life transitions, individuals often discover new ways of communicating that is not always comfortable for those still relating in their family’s traditional manner. This can cause tension between family members, not because of the issue at hand, but due more to the contrast in the approach to problem solving. As a Family Therapist, I work experientially with all family members in shedding light on individual styles of communicating, helping families recognize strengths in others, encouraging risk taking and holding each other accountable for family well-being. I believe it is essential for family members to create a sense of safety for others family members to share thoughts and feelings that may be unpopular. My goal is to help family members become more aware of the interconnectedness of the family unit and to promote the motivation to desire change. This often occurs when family members are “sick and tired” of being “sick and tired.”
