Relationships are the place we choose to work through our deep personal issues. Conflicts that arise usually are a reflection of a long-held pattern of connecting with others. To grow, we have to become aware of what those patterns are and learn to manage them. I can help by working with both of you in a neutral and comfortable environment. Whether you want to grow your relationship, repair it, or deal with ending it, therapy can provide a safe place to do so. We explore the weaker areas of your relationship to better understand and support each other and we explore the stronger areas to remember what sustains it. The work develops a deeper connection, if that is your goal, or it decreases tension and blame if that is what is needed as you separate.
Families
We all begin parenting with the best of intentions, but it is a tough job and many of us do not have enough support available. When problems come up, we do what we think is right and think should help, but when problems continue, we often run out of ideas and feel at a loss. Parenting classes are available but finding time to go to them can be difficult. Those of us who teach the classes have seen how families struggle to juggle schedules around. Here is a solution you may want to try.
After an initial session at my office with the parent(s) or caregiver(s), I can come to your family’s home and we will meet to resolve your problems together. Having the family figure out solutions together is healing in and of itself and doing it in your home makes it easier for all of you. These types of meetings can be interwoven with office sessions involving individuals of your choosing so that we can focus on whatever problem areas are most important to you at any given time. This is just one option. You do have more choices. I can help you find them. Let's talk about it.
