Family Counseling Services in Weaverville, NC.

About half of my clients are couples seeking help in their relationship. I help each partner to take responsibility for their contribution to the issues and difficulties that bring a couple to therapy. "Communication" is the most commonly mentioned issue. The couple learns how to argue fairly, how to express their needs and desires effectively, and how to listen to each other. Sometimes they accomplish these things very quickly, while in other cases it takes a considerable amount of time.

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.

I am trained as a family therapist. I use a combination of structural, communication, and solution focused family therapy. In a session I teach clients how to become aware when they are reacting and how to practice emotional regulation techniques to stay calm. I also explain how their emotional brain is different than their cognitive brain and how to work with their brain to function at their best and how to enhance their relationship with each other to feel more connected and have fun together.
