Family Counselling

"We can get hurt by our family and friends because we rely on them excessively or are overly involved in their lives.  Demanding too much, or having too much demanded of you, is not healthy"..."The more expectations you have for a relationship, the more likely it is to go awry.  When a relationship feels difficult, examine it [and yourself] closely"... -- Haemin Sunim

I help families reflect and become more aware of their patterns, and develop skills and tools to better manage stress and communication challenges, solve problems, manage conflicts, and build or rebuild trust and intimacy in their relationships, based on their values and goals.  I work with family members around issues such as:

  • Life transitions
  • Parenting
  • Infidelity
  • Separation and divorce
  • Estrangement
  • Life transitions
  • Family conflict (intergenerational or otherwise)
  • Co-dependent patterns
  • Personal growth and healing from difficult relationships
  • Depression and Anxiety

If you are seeking help related to a separation or divorce, please read this information from the Ministry of the Attorney General on Family Law in Ontario.
