Often we wait until we have exhausted every measure before we seek professional help. You can start on your journey to healing, reconciliation, peace, and joy today. I believe that in times of adversity and struggle, we have the greatest potential for growth. It is often hard to see clearly how the difficulties we face will lead to positive changes, so instead we lose our way and get stuck in places of frustration, despair, and resentment. The change process is a journey-sometimes long and at times short. It is a process that gives us the opportunity to discover new ways of approaching our circumstances.

Among the greates influences upon our lives are the relationships we have with our spouses, partners and families. It is not unusual for us to experience problems within these relationships as we move through our lives.

Some of these are: communication problems, changes within the family, individual problems, adolescent problems, marital discord, parental discord, mental health issues, stepfamily relationships and a specific stage in family life.
