Parenting and Blended Families

Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories.

2176074795The joys as well as challenges of a family are too many to count.

Whether through birth or marriage, becoming a parent is a beautiful, wondrous experience that highlights many people’s lives.

As much as we love our children, we can feel helpless, worried, sad, and scared about them. The inevitable difficulties that come with that journey can push us to the edge of our confidence and self-esteem.

As the above quote illustrates, there may have been a time when we felt confident about what to do, but things can change, and we find ourselves confused and defeated.

This confusion only increases when dealing with a blended family. Therapy can help make family life less confusing.

Let’s work on your family issues – together.

While working with me, you will enjoy an empathetic, caring, and nonjudgmental approach to helping you with your family issues.

Whether you are here because of problems with your biological children or you’re trying to deal with blended family work, I applaud you and congratulate you for reaching out for help.

Just because there may be much love among you doesn’t mean the relationships will run smoothly and the family will work like a well-oiled machine.

There is an art and science to having a high-functioning, successful, and happy family that goes above and beyond just love.

Whether you are a new or seasoned parent, you will take away valuable lessons that can help you improve your family life.

Nurturing parenting works well for developing a safe and secure emotional attachment between family members. We will discuss how important it is for each parent to be open and honest with themselves, admit when they need help, and see that as a sign of strength, not weakness.

We all have parents, and we were all children once. What we learned when we were little can significantly influence what we do now that we are parents. In our work together, we will dig as deeply as you would like into the issues and their causes, or we can stay more present in the here and now and work on more solution-focused strategies to address specific problems. I am open to either one.

The most important thing is to feel more confident, effective, and comfortable parenting your family.

Family therapy can lessen the challenges.

We know that changing problems, incredibly persistent or stubborn, can take time, so get started today.
