Therapists in North Carolina

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with a strong passion and deep desire to inspire and heal others through the gift of unconditional presence, warmth, and acceptance. Over the past 13 years, I've worked with clients on a wide range of issues to include: anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, difficulty setting boundaries, codependency, nightmares, low self-esteem and more! Our treatment goals are developed collaboratively. In session, we will explore and process your choices, desires, obstacles, patterns and limiting beliefs. I consider myself an Integrative therapist , combining different therapeutic modalities and tools to fit the needs of the individual client. I believe psychotherapy is an opportunity for you to gain insight into why you act the way you do, explore who you want to be in the world, and better understand what you need in order to thrive. I truly enjoy helping my clients learn to be curious about themselves so that we can examine issues with less judgment and more self-compassion and creativity! I look forward to working with you!

Maybe you have waited a long time to seek help and suffered in silence. Perhaps you've become accustomed to this discomfort or a pain. Or maybe you desire change through seeking understanding and want a greater sense of wellbeing. Therapy can help you with this process of personal growth and healing. Whether you have a crisis, traumatic experience, significant life challenge or are wanting to experience greater fulfillment therapy may be for you. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and helping people heal from traumatic experiences. I also enjoy working with people struggling with anxiety and depression, self-esteem and body image, and substance abuse/recovery from addiction. I believe through understanding and awareness, we can move toward becoming our true selves and deeply experience life. As a therapist, I am nonjudgmental, genuine, compassionate and goal oriented. I believe humor helps humanize the therapeutic experience. My treatment philosophy is primarily based in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy. I am trained in EMDR and certified in equine-assisted psychotherapy.
