I believe one of the most powerful resources people can access is their relationships. They can be a significant source of support, empowerment and healing, and they can be a source of pain, frustration, and stress. Relationships are fluid and ever changing. Sometimes in families and relationships the way roles were once defined no longer fit as individuals begin to grow and change and move through different stages of the life cycle. As a therapist, I assist to empower individuals and families in redefining their relationships by collaborating and creating solutions to recreate the relationships they want.
