EMDR Therapists in Belmont, NC

The events that happen are not intended to be permanent, but instead are part of our journey. It is our story being written and we have the ability to choose the next chapter. The path of life can have difficult times, often with unexpected twists and turns. When this occurs, it can be beneficial to have someone walk with you through the challenging times. My clients are motivated to write their own story, to have someone support them but to work towards empowerment, self-confidence, internal peace, and ultimate healing. My clients know their past does not define them but instead empower them to be the best they can be!

Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” This quote resonates with me because, as a therapist, I have had the privilege of walking alongside people during times when they have felt alone, vulnerable, or overwhelmed. With my help, they learn to “listen” to their emotions and gain more control. So often, when we are alone during a difficult time, our ability to see beyond such challenges becomes compromised. Our vision narrows and hope dims. But through the collaborative efforts of the client and the therapist, healing, growth, and change can happen. Hope is restored.

I am a trauma-informed therapist who helps clients understand themselves and their pain in order to experience wholeness and health. I utilize EMDR and Internal Family Systems along with other beneficial modalities to help clients reprocess their traumatic experiences and find greater connection within themselves. If you are struggling to make it through each day, or if your past keeps interfering with your present, I would love to provide a welcoming and compassionate space for you to find healing. Life can be really difficult. But no matter your situation, I have hope that you can feel better.

Many people find themselves "coping" with life as opposed to LIVING it. With the many competing demands of our busy lifestyles, it is not uncommon to lose connection with your authentic self and to feel discouraged, unwell or just..."off". When we discover that our health and wellbeing are suffering, or feel “stuck”, we often need support to change thought patterns, and empower ourselves to make different choices, so that we can live in a more meaningful and fulfilling capacity. Whether you have specific goals, or simply know that you just want to feel better but don't know where to begin, the first step is to reach out for help.

ONLY Providing Virtual Therapy in NC. I'm a fully licensed clinical social worker with 7 years of professional experience in an outpatient therapy setting. I work with a wide range of disorders but I'm most experienced at working with females dealing with depression, anxiety, adhd, family conflict, and relationship issues/abuse. I have a relaxed style of therapy where clients can attend sessions in whatever setting they need to. Need to do a session during your lunch break while you eat? No problem. Kids running around in the background? That's fine, just wear your earbuds. I get it. It's hard to find time, but I will work with you.

I have been successfully treating clients in therapy for over twenty years. The clients I work with prior to enrolling in treatment express that they feel frustrated, ignored and helpless. I provide individual, couple, and family telehealth therapy. I have treated clients who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual trauma. I also treat clients with anxiety, anger, communication, depression, and men's issues. My clients see significant improvement and develop tools and skills over time in treatment. I'm very proactive in my person centered approach.
