Families sometimes struggle to get through life together.
Jason and Liz are at their wit’s end. Their easiest child has turned into their hardest teenager. It seems like being in the same room means either shouting or silence. They just want to connect with their teen.
Kathy knows that her whole family needs help. The kids spend every other weekend with their dad. The rules are different there. Every time they go and return, her oldest seems more stressed.
Everyone in the Smith family thinks the problem is someone else’s. They cannot seem to do life together, but no one can agree on why.
It’s time to zoom out and see the whole story.
Families feeling stuck need someone to get the whole picture and help them move forward.
I meet with families together to understand different members’ perspectives and form goals they can share.
Understanding how parents, children, and siblings affect each other, I collaborate with the family to explore possible paths to change.
Sometimes there are so many moving parts in a family that it is hard to identify next steps.
I help families with communication skills, healthy dynamics, and teamwork.
This helps bring peace and wholeness in the home.
Jason, Liz, and their teen are now talking. Everyone feels like the others understand the basics of what they are hoping for.
Kathy and her ex have landed more on the same page. Some agreements allow their children to predict what will happen where, and they transition between homes more peacefully.
The Smiths have identified some shared problems and some shared solutions.
If your family is stuck in conflict or barely communicating, I can help you move ahead.
