"For the Love of Families" offers counselling services to families, individuals and couples:

  • On parenting issues
  • For grief, anxiety and depression
  • On children’s therapeutic play
  • For trauma recovery (including abuse and victims of crime)
  • For anger management
  • For domestic violence

I also offer community services in the form of presentations and speeches, and the facilitation of group therapy sessions.

MY SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE IN BURNABY AND IN VANCOUVER.

Family Therapy
Families seek help for many different reasons, including:

  • couples/marital concerns
  • family communication issues
  • parenting issues
  • blended family issues
  • family relations

The role of the family is to promote the growth of its members through guidance, nurturance, and strength. However, at times, individuals in the family can have difficulties that negatively impact other family members. Even with the best of intentions, during these times of crisis, families may need some help to rally their strengths and coping skills. Since all family members are affected at these times, each member offers the possibility of a solution. It is my course of action to work with the total family unit whenever possible.

I help families who are experiencing conflict and emotional distress to understand their problem, to see their strengths, and to achieve more satisfying family relations. When this occurs, better communication and understanding create space for healing and better ways of interacting.

Trauma Recovery
Victims of violent crime often struggle with debilitating emotional distress for years after the crime. Beyond the emotional instability, the social costs can be devastating for those individuals and their families. It can result in addictions, broken homes and relationships, child custody issues, the inability to search for and maintain employment, and sometimes homelessness.

I provide individual, couple, and family therapy for those who have experienced rape,
incest, sexual abuse, physical abuse, violence, and other crimes.
