Duck Family

What family is “normal?” I celebrate diversity, and I help families navigate the many challenges presented by differences. We all come into family with our own scripts. No wonder it’s hard work coming to agreement on family rules, parenting strategies, launching kids, blending families, or just spending special time together. My experience with families ranges from helping families find common ground to ending intense family conflict.

Sometimes this is an exercise of re-vamping your unfolding family story; at other times this requires practicing new strategies to build respect and comfort at home – something we all deserve. I use activities, family sculpting, and dialogue to facilitate a collaborative process, keeping family strengths in mind.
