Welcome to LivelyFuture Family Therapy

At LivelyFuture, we understand that families are diverse and dynamic systems, each with unique strengths and challenges. As a certified Emotionally Focused Family Therapist (EFFT), I specialize in helping families navigate the complexities of modern life and create a supportive, harmonious environment where every member can thrive.

Family Therapy – Building Deeper Connection

In every family, connection is the foundation. When family members feel securely connected, they experience a sense of safety, trust, and harmony that nurtures their relationships.


However, disruptions and difficulties can arise, leaving families feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck in unhealthy patterns. Whether it’s recurring conflicts, communication breakdowns, or emotional distance, these challenges can create tension and strain within the family unit.


As a certified Emotionally Focused Family Therapist (EFFT), I specialize in helping families navigate these difficult moments and restore their emotional connection.


EFFT is a powerful, research-based approach designed to address the emotional underpinnings of your family’s struggles. Together, we work on understanding each member’s needs, breaking unhealthy cycles, and fostering a more secure, supportive, and loving environment.

If You Are Feeling...

Do you or a family member feel:

  • Overwhelmed by the weight of loss, transitions, or emotional pain?
  • Disconnected from your own or a family members feelings or struggling to understand them?
  • Stuck in patterns of guilt, regret, or shame that seem impossible to break?
  • Exhausted from balancing single parenting responsibilities or life transitions?
  • Hopeless about the possibility of change or relief?

These emotions can affect daily life, relationships, and your overall well-being. They can leave you or your family feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unsure where to turn for help.

If this is how you or someone in your family is feeling, please read further. Therapy can offer a path to clarity, healing, and connection.

Who I Work With

I provide specialized support for:

  • Families with Neurodivergent Children: Guiding families with children who have ADHD or other neurodiverse needs to foster understanding, effective communication, and resilience.
  • Families Facing School Difficulties: Helping parents and children address academic challenges, manage stress, and create strategies for success.
  • Immigrant Families: Supporting families adapting to new cultures, languages, and environments, ensuring a smooth transition and stronger bonds.
  • Families Healing from Trauma: Providing a safe space to process and heal from past or ongoing traumatic experiences.
  • Grieving Families: Offering compassionate guidance for families coping with loss, including sudden or unexpected deaths.
  • One-Parent Families (Single Parents): Assisting single-parent families in building strong, supportive relationships and navigating unique challenges with confidence and resilience.

Christian Counseling for Families

For families seeking faith-based guidance, I offer Christian counseling that integrates spiritual principles with therapeutic practices. This approach provides a unique opportunity for families to:

  • Align emotional healing with their spiritual values and beliefs.
  • Foster deeper connections rooted in shared faith and understanding.
  • Navigate challenges with hope and resilience through a faith-centered perspective.

Christian counseling at LivelyFuture is tailored to honor your family’s spiritual journey while addressing emotional and relational dynamics. Whether you’re working through grief, building stronger bonds, or seeking guidance in raising children, this approach provides a supportive space where faith and therapy come together to nurture growth and connection.

How I Work with Families

Family therapy at LivelyFuture focuses on fostering understanding, strengthening communication, and addressing the emotional needs of all family members. In our sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone feels heard and respected.

Through evidence-based techniques and a compassionate approach, I help families:

  • Recognize and shift unhelpful interaction patterns.
  • Build empathy and mutual understanding among family members.
  • Develop tools for managing stress, conflict, and life transitions.
  • Create a cohesive and supportive family environment.

Family Therapy for Single Parents

Single parents often face unique challenges that can impact family dynamics and personal well-being. Balancing the responsibilities of parenting, work, and personal needs can feel overwhelming, leaving little room for self-care or nurturing relationships within the family.

In family therapy for single-parent households, I focus on:

  • Strengthening Parent-Child Bonds: Helping single parents foster a secure, loving connection with their children, even amidst the pressures of daily life.
  • Addressing Role Strain: Navigating the challenges of fulfilling multiple roles as both caregiver and provider while maintaining emotional balance.
  • Supporting Emotional Resilience: Guiding parents and children through feelings of loneliness, stress, or grief that may arise from family transitions or loss.
  • Improving Communication: Equipping families with tools to express their needs and emotions effectively, reducing misunderstandings and conflicts.
  • Building Support Networks: Identifying ways to create or strengthen external support systems, such as extended family, friends, or community resources.

How I Am Different as an EFT Family Therapist

As a certified Emotionally Focused Family Therapist, my approach is uniquely centered on addressing the emotional bonds within the family. Unlike traditional family therapy methods that may focus primarily on behavioral changes or problem-solving strategies, EFFT delves into the emotional dynamics and attachment patterns that influence interactions and relationships.

Here’s what sets my approach apart:

  • Emotion-Centered: I help families uncover and understand the underlying emotions driving conflicts and behaviors, creating opportunities for deeper connection and empathy.
  • Attachment-Focused: By prioritizing the attachment needs of each family member, I guide families toward building a secure emotional foundation that fosters trust and resilience.
  • Healing Past Wounds: My work emphasizes not just managing current challenges but also addressing unresolved emotional hurts and traumas that may impact the family dynamic.
  • Strengthening Bonds: Instead of simply addressing individual behaviors, I help families create lasting emotional bonds that strengthen their ability to support one another through life’s challenges.

Supporting Families in Challenging Situations

Each family’s journey is unique. Whether you’re navigating the daily realities of raising a neurodivergent child, coping with grief, or adapting to a new country, our work together is tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. I help you uncover strengths and resources within your family, while also addressing areas that need healing or growth.
