Family

Families are like wind chimes. When one chime moves, all chimes move. Changes in families can sometimes result in some unraveling or unbalance. Communicating our feelings and needs can be the first step to building healthy family relationships. Sometimes it’s helpful to gather all members of the family together to hear all perspectives, feelings, and needs. I will view the family as the client (not any one individual) to identify with you unhealthy patterns of behavior and find new healthy behaviors to replace them. Again, a nonjudgmental stance is required from all parties to observe and describe patterns and behaviors that are not helping and to propose helpful change.
