Psychodynamic Therapists in Fort Bragg, NC

Are you a high-achieving professional, a dedicated business owner, a mother or partner striving to keep it all together, yet finding yourself overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy romantic relationships, feeling anxious, or repeating the same unwanted cycles? Are you working to break free from generational patterns that no longer support your well-being? I am here to support you on your journey to wholeness and fulfillment. Together, we will create a safe, nurturing space where you can explore your experiences and heal.

I know that making the decision to contact a therapist can be difficult for some and my goal is to make the time spent as welcoming as possible.

Clinical Counseling and Consulting Services, PLLC (CCCS) is a counseling and consulting agency dedicated to clinician development and mental health treatment. Although CCCS specializes in treatment for sex offenders, individuals with problematic sexualized behavior, and victims of trauma, the agency also provides specialized outpatient therapy, employee assistance services, and services for individuals suffering from addiction. Parenting education classes are also available to assist parents with managing and coping with their children and/or adolescent behavioral deficits, addictions, and/or mental health disorder(s).

My goal is to develop and grow an authentic connection with you so that you feel empowered to put into words what your unique experience is like. We both know that, without trust, you will not feel comfortable sharing about yourself, your life, what you are proud of, and what you are challenged by. Your goals and interests in how to use our therapeutic relationship will determine where we go in sessions, and I am comfortable using elements from several modalities, from reflective and existential to solution-focused and practical, with quite a bit in between, always through a lens of attachment and neurobiology.

I understand that starting counseling is not easy. Chances are that you’ve tried it before, or that things currently feel like they’re too much to handle. You don’t have to do this alone. My goal is to help you reach YOUR goals. Topics may include: self-esteem/worth, coping skills, psych-Ed, mood regulation, couple counseling, anxiety, depression, OCD, daily stressors, affair recovery, trauma/ PTSD resolution, sexual dysfunction, support for LBGTQA+ or ENM lifestyle, military life challenges, grief and more. I support all beliefs and will gladly incorporate yours into sessions if that is your wish. Each appointment is truly for YOU!

DON’T WAIT, NOW IS THE TIME! Sometimes it’s difficult to share your life with others and talk about your struggles; however, talking through hard times can be one of the most empowering first steps you can make toward healing. Whatever your hardship is, help with an ongoing issue or time for a difficult transition, it would be my pleasure to work with you to develop an individualized plan and address your trepidations. I value your thoughts and self-determination and will gladly give an ear to support you when needed.

Adjusting to change can be challenging, especially when transitioning through different phases of life. Whether it's a child coping with behavioral issues, a teenager exploring their identity, or an adult facing the complexities of life, such as finding a safe space is crucial for personal growth. Embracing discomfort is key to growth, so if you're prepared to evolve, let's embrace the discomfort together. "Life is not what it is supposed to be, it is what it is; it's how we navigate it that makes a difference."

Here’s the thing, you do not have to solve it, heal from it, get over it, get past it, or figure it out alone. Therapy offers you the space and support to approach and intentionally navigate your trauma, grief, past or present experiences, ways you have related to yourself, your relationships, and/or your environments that are just not serving you anymore. Your life should not be limited to living in familiar discomfort. You deserve genuine happiness and abundance in every area that you exist in. I can help you. It is time to start being intentional about your healing process, don't you think?
