COUPLES WORK:

Improving communication, greater clarity in the relationship, recognizing family of origin interferences, understanding male & female cultural differences.

 

FAMILY WORK:

Recognizing family dynamics, clarifying roles, recognizing family of origin interferences in the family, assessing functionality, establishing boundaries, improving communication.

 

CHILDREN:

Assessing temperamental & learning styles, assessing development, fostering expressive maturity, promoting self-esteem, security, & stability, assessing family roles and boundaries.

 

TEENAGERS:

Self-esteem & self-sufficiency, helping in the search for identity, resolving his or her changing roles in the family & society, reconciling social & cultural pressures with family expectations & personal needs.

 

It is my belief that no child or individual's goals should be sacrificed for the benefit of reaching goals in a couples' relationship or in a family.  Individual and relationship or family goals are not inherently oppositional.  It is in reconciling individual goals with family issues that the couple or family can achieve and maintain healthy long-term success in meeting its needs.  Couples and families that function without its members satisfying their individual needs exist in stress, pain, and difficulty.
