Grief Therapists in Cornelius, NC
Life can be bright and beautiful with moments of joy and laughter, peace and calm. But life can also throw us curve balls that disrupt our moments of smooth sailing. You likely know what I am talking about--riding the roller coaster of hurtful experiences, illness, broken relationships, loss, grief, tragedy, a pandemic--the various challenges in life that can end in psychological suffering. In your suffering, you may feel overwhelmed by your distress, not knowing how to cope daily or move forward in life. This is a tough place to be in, but humans are resilient, and you can learn new ways of responding to life's difficulties.

As a clinical mental health counselor with a concentration in play therapy, I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches working with children, adolescents, and families who are navigating different learning abilities, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.
Life is a journey full of transitions that can bring unexpected change and heavy emotions. Children and adolescents often struggle with navigating and regulating such big feelings. Regardless of age, I believe we all have the ability to channel our inner strengths when given the correct tools and proper support.

Mental Health plays a vital role in performance. As a healthcare professional and former collegiate soccer player, I understand the unique pressures and challenges we face in highly stressful professional roles and as competitive athletes. The demands and expectations to succeed, both from ourselves and others, can sometimes drive us to a breaking point. Learning to manage and cope with these demands is my goal at Bridging the Gap CC.

Every day is the same. Before you even open your eyes in the morning, the hypotheticals start. What if something terrible happens today? What if I’m late to work and I get in trouble? All day you expend emotional energy trying to distract yourself from your racing thoughts. When you get home, all you want to do is collapse in bed. But as soon as you do, the negative thinking starts again. You obsessively replay every interaction from the previous day. When you finally doze off, it feels like only moments before the alarm buzzes, and it’s time to repeat the whole thing again. You can’t go on like this– something needs to change.
