These are the two most important questions you can ask yourself:
How am I feeling?
What do I need?
It’s okay to not know the answer to these questions. Most people don’t. That’s what Family Dynamics is here for.

Your life hasn’t been playing out by chance. It’s a result of your family dynamics. And you have the power to rewrite the script.
Have you ever wondered how you’ve gotten to where you are?
Whether it’s external - a career you don’t recognize, a relationship you don’t enjoy, a friend group that feels toxic - or internal - you are quick to anger, inexplicably tired all the time, unmotivated - you feel like at some point you reached a fork in the road and took the wrong turn. And now you don’t know how to turn it around.
You don’t have to continue living life on autopilot. It’s time to take charge and transform your life.

What Are Family Dynamics?
As a licensed MFT with over 35 years of experience, I have witnessed just how much of our family dynamics influence the trajectory of our lives.
Every person has their own unique story - think of it like a fingerprint. Part of it is made up from your history (genetics & born-family). Part of it comes from how you were raised (code of behavior, traditions). And part of it comes from your life experiences (how family treats you vs. others, observation of parental and guardian interactions, etc.)
Mix those parts together, and you have a unique story that is going to tell you exactly how you got to where you are today.
