Families with Children
We utilize a Whole-Brain Approach when working with children and teens. Learning to sooth your child through empathy and naming emotions is an important first step to building connection. Left brain logic is not often received when there’s blocks to connection or unmet attachment needs. This approach works well with Emotional Focused Family Thearpy for families which is an experiential and psychodynamic theory.
We take the time to get to know each member’s unique attachment history, hurts/traumas and how it connects to your current connection experience. We seek to understand what attachment needs may have been unmet in your journey, so we can create new ways to reach and connect. We recommend Dr. Siegel’s books for further education such as Parenting from the Inside Out and Whole-Brain Child or Brainstorm.
Families with Adult Children
Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn and we find ourselves in situations we NEVER expected. Life can be lonely when those we connected with once are no longer there in the same way. I’m hear to help navigate life’s challenges and life cycles. When families are willing and ready to work together and explore new ways to interact, healing can happen.
