Family Consultation
Halting the Multi-Generational Chain Reaction
Experience That Sees the Nuance
The "300 years" of experience I bring allows me to see the fine nuances of power and emotion within the family. I am not afraid to touch the deepest points of "stuckness" - those that make you feel like communication is no longer possible.
Our work is to lay down the swords, understand the deadlock in which everyone is caught, and rebuild a system that allows each member to act out of freedom and choice without losing their sense of belonging. We transform the family from a source of friction into a source of resilience.

The family is the most significant system in our lives, but it is also the site of our most painful emotional "chain reactions." Over years of working with families who manage financial empires, navigate complex family businesses, or simply struggle to maintain a bond within the grinding reality of life - I have learned that the difficulty never lies with a single family member. The struggle lies in the "dance" created between you.
My approach to family consultation is rooted in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and Schema Therapy. A family is a system of infinite complexity; when a child shows distress, or when a rift opens between siblings or between parents and adult children, it is usually a sign that the system has lost its sense of a "Secure Base."
Deconstructing the Hidden Dynamics
In the clinic, we work to understand the covert forces managing your home:
Intergenerational Transmission: How do the "Schemas" and fears of the parents pass down to shape the lives of the children? We identify the emotional burden that each generation carries and how it dictates your ability to communicate today.
The Family as a Business & Value Structure: In consulting for high-net-worth families or family businesses, we address the points where money becomes the language of love, control, or guilt. How do you create fairness when children’s needs differ? How do you keep the relationships alive while managing an empire together?
Mending Rifts and Restoring Safety: In the EFT framework, the goal is not just to "solve problems" or agree on roles, but to create a new emotional experience. We work on the places where children (even as adults) need their parents as a secure base, and where parents need recognition and connection.
Navigating Life’s Crises: Whether it’s a high-conflict divorce shaking the family structure, a betrayal of trust, or the loss of a central figure who managed the family’s affairs - we help the system regain its "form."
