Therapists in North Carolina

It takes such strength and bravery to start the process of counseling and I am so glad you have chosen to stop by and learn more about how I might be a partner for you in this process. I work with individuals using Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution-Focused approaches, meaning I work to help my clients identify unhelpful patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, create relevant goals to change those unhelpful patterns, and identify realistic steps to meet those goals. I approach every interaction with clients with warmth, genuine concern, and attentiveness in order to provide the best, most authentic care possible for each and every client. Some of my primary areas of work are on women's issues such as body image, disordered eating, eating disorder recovery, Intuitive Eating, pregnancy loss or miscarriage, and infant loss. I also have a passion for working to support individuals experiencing any large life transition and coping with everyday struggles with compassion. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, registered Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS), and a Licensed K-12 School Counselor in North Carolina, with over 13 years of experience in private practice, academic, and community settings. I care deeply about my work as a counselor and highly value the clients I have the privilege to work with. I truly feel called to this work and strive to help every client I see to figure out their best path. Whatever your age, circumstance, background, or struggle, I want you to feel welcomed and at home in your session. It is my ultimate goal to help you achieve the goals you have set for yourself and live a happy and healthy life. I believe we do not have to be defined by our past or current struggles and that everyone deserves a chance to experience positive growth and I look forward to helping you experience this for yourself!

Do you often find yourself struggling to sort out your thoughts and feelings about events in your life? Have there been times in your life when you have wondered if you have made the right choices or if there are other possibilities for you? We have all experienced life changing experiences that have shaped us into the people we are today. Sometimes, a listening ear is all we need. Other times, more in-depth exploration of thoughts and feelings is needed before you can feel better. Whichever situation fits for you, I am here to help. I have been in practice for over 20 years and have had experience working with a diverse group of individuals, couples, and families. Together, we have explored trauma events and their impact on individuals and families, family relationships, couples’ issues, and depression, anxiety, infidelity, spiritual dilemmas, and other experiences that have an effect on day-to-day living. My experience extends to adults of all ages, including an older population and caregivers. I am open to working with couples who are experiencing issues, particularly in the area of communication. Working with individuals who are in the early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease are a new and interesting population for me. For me, counseling is a passion. Being a counselor is a calling, it encompasses me as a person and as a professional. It is my hope that you will contact me for counseling so that I can be your companion on your journey to a more peaceful and satisfying future.
