Connections Matter...

 However you prioritize your life, family invariably ends up being at the center of it in one way or another. And an unhappy or non-harmonious home can be like a black hole, negatively affecting everything else in life and draining all your energy at the end of the day. 

Every family is like a miniature social ecosystem: each member has usually adapted a certain role and acts according to those scripts. These roles and scripts can be healthy expressions of the way each individual interacts with one another, or they can manifest unhealthy adaptations to an unbalanced family system. The scapegoat/black sheep, power broker, nurturer, hero, and clown are all common family role archetypes parents and children can play. 

Effective family therapy will combine individual sessions to explore individual coping and communication styles, with group or joint sessions to mend those gaps in communication and understanding that act as barriers between family members. Through honest hard work and plenty of love, I can help your family learn how to support one another more effectively, listen instead of hear, and function as a unit as well as individuals. 

I can also offer support to the parents/family of the child that struggles with trauma, mental health challenges or learning difficulties. Being a parent also along with 14 years spent as a Child Protective Services and Foster Care case manager and supervisor at DFCS has put me in touch with the struggles of children from all backgrounds and demographics. I have worked with the court systems, Department of Juvenile Justice and have a fairly secure understanding of how the system works and how your family is likely being affected by the system.  Additionally.  I have plenty of education and expertise with attachment disorders, learning disabilities and all around unruly child issues to help support your family through your own unique struggles and strengths.
