Family Therapy
Family therapy is a amazing tool designed to address specific issues that affect the health and functioning of a family. Family therapy can also assist a family through a difficult period or in healing past hurts. In family therapy I work on strengthening family bonds by:

- Creating a honest space between family members
- Rebuilding trust
- Developing a supportive family environment
- Reducing sources of tension, resentment and stress within the family
- Helping family members forgive each other
- Conflict resolution for family members
- Reconnecting estranged family members
- Strengthening step family, blended family or adoptive family dynamics
- Building healthy in-law relationships
