"It is my belief that everyone navigates his or her way through their family of origin and early environment by developing strategies and coping techniques, essentially doing the best one can in the circumstances. Later, these ways of handling relationships and stressors can become limiting. Members of couples and families can also develop entrenched ways of relating that become partially based on assumptions. Frustration, anxiety, disappointment and depression can result. Psychotherapy enables you to understand the evolution of these patterns and develop more choices in how you respond and relate to others."

There are life changes we cannot always prepare for - health challenges, family conflict, economic shifts, personal loss, and more. As stresses mount, we can become stuck and find our ways of coping are not enough. We may turn to family or friends, and find that is not the help that we need.
