Family therapy is a great way to help rebuild relationships by learning new ways of problem solving and communication techniques. Family is important to our mental health and if there is tension, therapy can be a great resource to address pain and heal a families wounds. What distinguishes family therapy from individual counseling is its perspective or framework; not how many people are present at the therapy session. This type of counseling views problems as patterns or systems that may need adjusting, as opposed to viewing problems as residing in the person. People who participate in family therapy sessions learn more about themselves and about how their family functions.

 

I work with families to heal emotional and/or psychological problems. The specific goals depend on the problems being experienced. In order to help a family to maintain a healthy, harmonious life together, I focus on improving communication, solving family problems, understanding and handling special family situations, and creating a better functioning home environment.
