A healthy family system can be identified by its ability to buffer the stress of the world for all family members, more often than it creates new stress. When we meet for family counseling, my first question to all family members will be “what could make life in your home, in your family, more fun for you?” I believe that by following the natural desire for joy and connection with our loved ones, and by working to remove the fear and related blocks to connection, all families can benefit. This work does tend to ask the most of parents compared to children, as parenting is the most important and most difficult job in the world. What I know to be true is parents have the power to rewrite the story of wellness, hope and possibility both up and down a generational line. I can’t wait to help you see what is possible as far as helping yourself, your children, and maybe even your own caregivers through this work!
