Family Counseling Services in Angier, NC.

As a marriage and family therapist, I have specialized training focused on improving family dynamics. I have worked with families struggling with major life transitions, parent-child conflict, addiction, complex grief in situations such as suicide, and several other challenges that today's families face. After family therapy, you can expect improved communication, less conflict, better boundaries, decreased grief symptoms, and a family system that is sustainable. Please reach out for a free 20-minute consultation call or send me an email to further discuss how I can support your goals.

Family therapy is a specialty area of mine, one that I have been working in for over ten years. This could be work with parents and their children, helping to create more stable and functional home dynamics. Work with siblings in order to strengthen their relationships and adjust behaviors within the family unit. Or work with parents and their adult children, helping the family heal past hurts. No matter if the family is biological, adoptive, or blended, I can guide the family system to a more balanced and happier state. I give my families tools to help them navigate dynamics now, and into the future, ensuring the family continues to strengthen and grow.

Family therapy is an effective stand-alone treatment and can often be complementary to individual therapy, especially when working with children and adolescents. The aim of family therapy is to develop insight and understanding into relationship dynamics and family structures that may be contributing to dysfunction for one or several family members and ultimately identify develop healthier, more adaptive means of resolving conflict within the family system.

I consult with families who have a loved one with an eating disorder. Families are in the dark when it comes to knowing how to handle the day-to-day functioning with their family member, how to help, where to go for appropriate expert treatment and how to approach their loved one with their concerns. Often families use their natural instincts to help and find they are making the problems worse. Sometimes husbands or wives need help addressing their worries to their mates as well. This is very tricky, but can be facilitated with help. I offer support, information, specific guidelines and resources for families who hire me in this type of scary situation.
