Couples & Family Care

Our committed relationships and family are the settings where we are most truly ourselves, and where our "best of times and worst of times" play out. I work with couples in addressing immediate conflict and communication issues, and in helping address the "downloads" we bring to these relationships from our families of origin and our parents or guardians. When children have difficulties, I generally work with the parents on parenting strategies and on bringing more adaptive ways of relating/communicating to the situation. I work with the children on coping and living strategies, healing any post-traumatic residuals, and managing feelings and communication more effectively.
