Therapists in Cary, NC
As your therapist, I will provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and empathic setting for you to share about your current situation; explore early life experiences; gain a helpful understanding of your emotional world; and why you think and act in particular, problematic patterns. Many, if not all, of our emotional burdens (anxiety, people-pleasing, lying, codependency, lack of coping skills, mistrust of authority, hypersensitivity, defensiveness, an underdeveloped sense of self, parenting struggles, relationship issues) are the result of earlier wounds that infuse within us lasting well into adulthood.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are going through transition/change, need extra support, or are dealing with on-going struggles. I see therapy as collaborative between therapist and client. I strive to get to know clients on an individual level including your strengths, challenges, goals, and beliefs. My goal is to help you identify aspects of your life that you would like to change and help you to use the strengths you already possess to reach your life goals. I find that clients appreciate that I am compassionate but direct.

Is it hard just to make it through each day? Like everything is a struggle, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep pretending it’s all fine? You don’t have the lust for life that you used to, and everything feels a bit “blah”. You can't talk about it with your family or friends without worrying them or being dismissed. You're noticing these things are negatively impacting your life, relationships, or performance at work. You feel unhappy, angry, or disconnected to people in your life and the world around you. Maybe you know what changes you want to see, but you don't even know where to start. It all feels so daunting.
