Support for the full spectrum of family experience -- from conflict and distance to grief and the complicated space of not knowing what comes next.
Family relationships can be a source of both connection and pain. Whether you are navigating conflict, communication challenges, changing family roles, reconciliation efforts, or estrangement, therapy offers a space to explore these relationships with greater clarity, compassion, and intention.
Many people come to this work somewhere in the middle -- not fully estranged, not fully okay. They are trying to figure out how much contact feels sustainable, what they actually want from a relationship, or how to grieve a connection that still technically exists. All of that belongs here.
Estrangement is rarely a single moment. It tends to be an accumulation -- of unrepaired ruptures, of roles that stopped fitting, of conversations that never happened. Narrative therapy offers a framework for making sense of that accumulation without reducing it to blame or pathology.
The work is not about deciding whether contact is right or wrong. It is about helping you understand the story you have been living in, the costs and meanings you have attached to it, and what you actually want your relationship with your family to look like -- including what it means if reconciliation is not possible or not chosen.
A community talk on the emotional complexity of family estrangement. This is not a talk about how to reconcile or how to cut ties. It is a conversation about how to hold both the grief and the clarity, the love and the limits, at the same time.
