Family can be our main source of comfort and safety. It can also be a source of conflict, and difficulty. We spend the most time with our family, so if there's ongoing conflict, life at home can be tough. Family therapy is about getting to see the underlying needs in each other, and meeting those needs so that we can let go of the conflict and move forward. As humans, we all have the same needs and emotions, so they work as a universal language. I will help you get to the root of family conflict so you can all get your needs met and move forward.
