Therapy for Individuals Navigating Family Dysfunction

Navigating Family Dysfunction in Buckhead and Online Across Georgia

Support for Individuals and Adults Working Through Complex Family Dynamics

Family is often our first and most lasting source of connection, love, and identity. But sometimes family relationships are also the source of deep pain, confusion, and conflict. Navigating family dysfunction can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to protect your well-being while still caring for those you love.

Whether you are dealing with communication breakdowns, unresolved past wounds, boundary challenges, or repeated patterns that cause distress, therapy can provide a safe space to understand your family story, heal old hurts, and build healthier ways of relating.

Common Challenges in Family Dysfunction

You might be facing:

  • Difficulty setting or maintaining healthy boundaries with family members

  • Repeated cycles of conflict or misunderstanding

  • Feeling emotionally drained or responsible for others’ feelings

  • Struggles with loyalty, guilt, or shame within family roles

  • Coping with the impact of trauma, neglect, or abandonment

  • A sense of disconnection or alienation from those closest to you

Family dysfunction can impact your relationships, your self-esteem, and how you relate to the world outside your family circle. It often shapes how you see yourself and what you expect from others.

My Approach to Family Dysfunction

In therapy, we will explore your unique family dynamics with curiosity and compassion. I believe that understanding the patterns and roles we inherit from our families is a crucial step toward changing them. This process includes:

  • Gently uncovering hidden family narratives and beliefs that influence your feelings and behavior

  • Identifying patterns that no longer serve you

  • Strengthening your ability to set boundaries that protect your emotional health

  • Developing new ways of communicating and relating, both within your family and beyond

  • Building self-awareness and self-compassion to support your growth

My approach is relational and collaborative. You are the expert on your experience, and together we will create a space where healing and insight can emerge.

Healing Is Possible

While family relationships can be complicated and painful, they can also be a source of resilience, growth, and connection. Therapy can help you move from feeling trapped by family patterns toward feeling empowered to create the relationships and life you want.
