Reconnect. Restore. Grow.

Specialised Family Therapy That Gets to the Heart of the Matter

Family life can be challenging. Whether you're struggling with conflict at home, concerns about your teen’s behaviour, or feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to hold it all together—you're not alone. As a highly experienced psychologist, I offer evidence-based therapy designed to create meaningful, lasting change for young people and their families.

With advanced training in Functional Family Therapy (FFT) and Multisystemic Therapy (MST), I work with families facing complex and high-stress situations—helping to reduce crisis behaviours, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected relationships.

What I Offer

​

Functional Family Therapy (FFT)

FFT is a short-term, structured therapy model that helps families overcome intense conflict, behavioural issues, and emotional disconnect. It’s especially effective for adolescents at risk of becoming involved in the justice system or those already navigating difficult pathways.

Through FFT, we work together to:

• Reduce blame and build mutual understanding

• Improve problem-solving and communication skills

• Strengthen support systems within the family

• Promote positive behavioural change in teens and young adults

Multisystemic Therapy (MST)

MST is an intensive, in-home model designed for adolescents engaging in serious problem behaviours—often involving school refusal, aggression, substance use, or legal issues. It doesn’t just focus on the individual, but on all the systems around them: family, school, peers, and community.

With MST, I help families to:

• Identify and change patterns that maintain disruptive behaviour

• Build consistent routines and boundaries at home

• Reconnect with school, community, and healthy peer networks

• Prevent out-of-home placements or involvement with the justice system
