SET UP AN APPOINTMENTFamily relationships can be a source of satisfaction and closeness throughout our lives. Circumstances and stressors on families impact us and change over time. When there is tension, conflict, or cut-offs in our relationships, we feel distress and hopelessness.
Working with family issues and dynamics can lead to not only strengthening relationships within the family but also to individual growth and wellbeing.
Family work can be done all together or with different configurations of family members as we individualize the work for your specific family needs and goals.
We work with families with young and adult children, aging parents and extended and blended families too.
