For people in blended households he offers help naming roles, setting routines, and managing loyalty conflicts that come with stepfamily life. He also helps with co-parenting tensions and the emotional aftermath of past abandonment or abuse when those issues affect current relationships.
Sessions aim to produce concrete changes people can use between meetings. Chris will work with each person to set clear goals and check progress over time. He accepts clients who speak English and works with international clients as well.
