The family you grew up with has a big impact on who you are today. Those early relationships become a template for future relationships – with spouses, friends, coworkers, bosses, and even your own children.
​
Sometimes, the key to understanding today’s struggles lies in understanding your history’s impact on you.

​​It’s easy to think of more complex situations – growing up with an emotionally immature parent, a family member with mental illness, a sibling with special needs, divorce, being a child of an alcoholic – as situations that shape your personality today. And certainly, these scenarios often make a notable impact on one’s development.
Yet, even those who grew up in “good and happy” homes often find that there are unique ways they have been impacted by family dynamics. It has to do with how those early experiences interact with your personality organization. For example, a shy and reserved individual may find that it is hard to assert themselves because they grew up in a large family with lots of competition and noise.

Whatever your situation is, I can work with you to understand and work through lingering family of origin issues to help you be the healthiest version of yourself.
