Let's work together to get to the root cause of your distress and decrease problematic symptoms. I counsel adolescents (10yo+) through adults. My clinical counseling experience includes adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-and-stressor related disorders (PTSD), loss/grief, narcissistic abuse, parenting, post-divorce, and relationships: pre-marriage/re-marriage/couple's therapy using the SYMBIS assessment and Gottman Method.

Starting therapy can be hard and you are brave to be here taking this first step. I’m passionate about helping clients and families accept themselves and each other. My goal is to create a safe space that allows you to meet yourself exactly where you are and shift the way that you or your child interacts with the world. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, adoption/attachment needs, depression, grief/loss, mood disorders, parenting support, relationship issues, and trauma. As an EMDR trained therapist together we can process feelings, memories, and trauma that may be too difficult to manage alone.

The prospect of starting counseling can be scary. The worries of what other people may think, the stigma of counseling, and the thought of "am I weak'. I have been in this field for over 20 years, in a variety of setting and I heard from many who shared their hesitation for reaching out. It takes courage to ask for help! I am here to guide you through counseling. I offer education, support, and evidence-based treatments to 'normalize' how you may feel because at moments you may feel alone. Through education on how the brain is functioning, CBT, Mindfulness, and EMDR, we work together to accomplish the goals that you set for yourself

I am currently licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and I work with families, couples, and children through a systemic lens. My passion is to help individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as people working through obstacles that lie in the way of connecting with their full selves. I work with couples and families struggling with difficult relational issues including communication, conflict, infidelity, commitment, reconnecting, as well as processing through traumatic events, and couples in need of premarital counseling.

You have a right to a better life, to live with less distress; to have a life with possibility, potential, and vitality. I have worked with people like you who have found that within the warm, accepting, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment of our therapeutic relationship that change becomes possible. I invite you to be courageous and to reach beyond your fears to claim the life that you want. Utilizing established, researched, and respected therapies, I treat many emotional and behavioral disorders by helping clients face their struggles and move towards a valued life.

Are you ready to care for and be kind to yourself? Do you struggle with behaviors, thoughts, or relationships? Do you feel misunderstood, confused, or angry? Do you feel anxious, stressed, or nervous? Are you sad, impulsive, or withdrawn? Maybe you don't know what you feel. Are you aware of a difference between the inside and the outside? Have you tried everything to change or get "it" to stop with no avail? I specialize in and engage your life stories while working for transformation in your body, mind and soul.

A person's natural tendency is to gravitate toward health and wholeness. Sometimes when trying to move toward goals and the most authentic expression of self, we get stuck by internal or external barriers. I enjoy working with clients who are willing to step into vulnerability even when it's scary and who are open to exploring creative approaches to healing. With curiosity, you can discover meaning within emotional pain and grow beyond limits you might have internalized.

"We have more help than you have problems." I have been walking with people in their life stories for many years. My office is a shame-free, safe place for my clients to be vulnerable, open, and to take a deeper look at what is hindering them from being the best version of themselves. Counseling is an important investment of a person's time and money. I listen actively and work hard for my clients in their sessions to help them experience the life change and healing they are looking for. Most of my therapy work is done in 3 day Counseling Intensives for individuals and couples. My Intensive fee is $7500 for 3 days.

Many people can be too hard and not kind enough to themselves. Life is difficult enough, and not being on their own side through their struggles makes it even more so. Whether you’re new to therapy or have some experience with it, starting with a new therapist can be overwhelming. I invite you to a warm, inviting space where you are able to show your full self. I tend to use a holistic and integrative approach. Your sessions are your time and I will meet you where you’re at while providing a therapist viewpoint.

Therapy offers a place and relationship in which to be heard, to be understood and to experience growth and change. My practice offers opportunities to a wide variety of people for insight and understanding that makes a difference in how life is lived. Therapy begins with the development of a meaningful relationship grounded in compassion, patience and appreciation for your needs and personal experiences.I work with individuals seeking general insight and self-discovery to those suffering from chronic or debilitating issues. My practice involves work with individuals, couples and families.

I enjoy working with those struggling with managing substance use disorder, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I utilize a variety of modalities to specifically address each client's needs including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brainspotting, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution focused skills. My master's degree is in counseling with a concentration in addictions counseling.

Family can be a source of joy and strength but can also be chaotic and overwhelming at times. I know that life transitions and big events can be challenging for individuals and that sometimes having an outside resource to talk to can be helpful. If you are struggling to start a family, dealing with pregnancy/postpartum related mental health concerns, pursuing kinship care/foster care/adoption, or working to overcome a traumatic experience, I would love to connect and see if I can assist you in reaching your goals.

Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients across North Carolina. I specialize in providing therapy to teens and adults who are seeking help related to anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe space for you to grow. Let’s work together to effectively identify and process emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking, and change behavior patterns. With this growth you will experience positive change in all areas of your life, and feel more confident to tackle life’s challenges

Life in general, can be challenging. I believe in the healing power of telling your story in a judgement-free environment where you feel safe. Research consistently shows it is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, more than any other factor including the method of therapy, predicting the clients’ ability to use therapy to help themselves and make positive life changes. Therapy does not always solve the problems brought to it, but the best chance for success is when there is a strong therapeutic relationship. To me, the critical foundation of our counseling relationship is a partnership based on mutual respect and honesty.

The name of my business reflects my desire to help you find "Common Ground" within your relationships. Whether it is a marital issue you are struggling with or a parent/child/teen relational issue, I am here to help you through it. This is a goal of my counseling practice and finding common ground is one way I have helped couples and families for the last decade.

Asking for help is hard and can be very scary, the fear of judgement, the fear of weakness, the fear of "going crazy". Yet I believe reaching out for help is one of the bravest things anyone can do. I have a passion for working with individuals with trauma. I also have a passion for working with children. It is never too late to start feeling better about being yourself, whether the work starts in childhood or later in life. I want to help people find peace in themselves whether through change or through acceptance.

I would like to support you in a transformative journey to find yourself and guide you in exploring your own capacity for self-healing. Workshops: I also provide workshops focusing on group cohesion and resilience. In those workshops I use music-based interventions for skill-building, stress release, and wellness.
