FAMILY THERAPY
THE PURPOSE AND VALUE OF GROUP THERAPY
Group Therapy presents the opportunity to reshape our lives with insights into the lives of others. Each new group is a fresh start and a chance to learn so much about ourselves. Groups can strongly influence our behavior and help us make changes in the direction we want. You can share and work through personal problems in a group where you can trust the others and they can trust you. Although the experience of first joining a group can be daunting, the experience of making profound changes in the interest of your own health and happiness is exhilarating and life affirming.
A good deal of what is usually called external in our lives is at the same time deeply internal and greatly influences us as we develop. Groups allow us to explore relationships with others and at the same time probe deeper into ourselves.
Research has shown that groups are particularly valuable for people who are depressed.

Families are not all the same---but families that suffer from multiple losses, intractable
conflict, and deep failures to communicate experience a level of pain that can seem
intolerable. In my work with families, I use my empathy, knowledge, and intuition to help
families communicate with each other in ways that advance their capacity for closeness
and at the same time support the growth and autonomy of each person in the family.
Each family is unique and I will help you move toward specific goals that you will choose
for yourselves. I encourage healthy family dynamics when possible and confront family
dysfunction when necessary. I have learned my skill from my years of apprenticeship
with pioneer family therapists and also from many years of work dedicated to the growth
and liberation of families locked in painful impasses.
Come learn how to communicate better ---using methods I've developed as a long time
licensed counselor.
