Family Counseling Services in Marvin, 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.

Why can't we just all get along? Well, sometimes we do our best based on what we know and there are things in the way that cause conflict, create negative relational patterns, or even events that change the dynamics of how we relate. It can be a simple communication solution, learning coping skills, or there may be emotional or relational patterns that need shifted. I can provide very practical tools for all of that as well as an emotion-focused and attachment-based approach for developing secure and strong family bonds.

All families are different but one thing most have in common is they are complex. Family conflict can arise from numerous sources including losing a member, adding a member, changing medical needs, aging, marriage, divorce, career or financial changes or family structures that no longer serve the family. Family Counseling is a great way to examine your current structure and explore new ways to meet the needs of each person in the family.

My 40 years of experience allows me to deal with a large variety of family related issues: step family, living together, dating, marriage, family of origin, gay couples, seniors parent/child issues. I was trained in Family Therapy and wrote a book to help people deal with family related problems. As a family therapist, I look at the larger picture and see how it is impacting the person's current situation. From there I help the person custom design a solution that is unique to them and takes into account how others in their family system will react to the changes they are attempting.
