When Your Adult Child Pulls Away

Few experiences are more painful than becoming distant or estranged from an adult son or daughter. You may be wondering what happened, whether to reach out or give space, what responsibility is yours, and whether repair is still possible.

I specialize in helping parents navigate estrangement and difficult relationships with adult children. Together, we look carefully at the relationship, identify what you can influence, and develop ways of communicating that reduce defensiveness and create the best possible conditions for understanding and repair.

You can begin this work even if your adult child is unwilling to participate.

I also work with couples and other family relationships experiencing conflict or disconnection.
