Elders (65+) Therapists in Clayton, NC
I think of therapy as a journey. I see my role as walking along side my client, shedding light on the past, helping make connections between events, thoughts, actions, and feelings. Working collaboratively, we make use of these insights to develop new perspectives on the past and the present. At the end of our time together, I want my client to feel more secure and confident moving forward under their own power, liking who they are and what they have to offer the world.

Welcome to a space tailored specifically for women navigating life's challenges. As a therapist specializing in women's issues, I understand the unique challenges that come with significant life changes such as caregiving, menopause, empty nesting, grief, and issues with interpersonal relationships. Women often juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, which can lead to feelings of overwhelm, stress, or a sense of losing oneself amidst the demands of daily life.
