When an individual member goes through a significant change, decision or adversity, the entire family is affected. Resentment and anger can build. Family members inherently feel sad at the loss of the relationship when things were different.

Family tension can also arise because of generational, cultural, environmental differences in values. Open converastions can be difficult because members fear hurt and judgment.

Family therapy can be a powerful way of getting multiple family members in the same space to openly discuss topics that are difficult to address at home. We collaboratively identify goals. I moderate the conversation so that each party can express and explore ideas.
