Bisexual Therapists in Greensboro, NC

Change is inevitable in today's world, but what happens when we get stuck? Whether it is unhelpful cycles of communication/interaction with others, difficult relationships, challenging experiences, life transitions, or painful experiences from our family of origin, sometimes knowing how or where to begin can feel overwhelming. Or maybe it seems not worthy of bringing up, feeling unheard or having shame about communicating your wants and needs? Or maybe you just want more satisfaction in your life and relationships. Does this sound familiar? Are you looking for change?

Is life hard right now? Maybe you feel overwhelmed in your relationship, parenting or at work? Maybe other areas of your life are stressful. Sometimes life is difficult, and it is completely expected that you might not feel ok! That's why I am here to help. I use various modalities and techniques to help you work through whatever stress you might be experiencing; however, I strive to help you feel like we are just having a good conversation about your life. I provide a safe, nonjudgemental environment for you to process anything you may need to process. I have a niche of helping clients recover from narcissistic abuse.

When I think of counseling, I envision all kinds of people who need all different kinds of support. I strive to be able to provide as many kinds of support as needed for my clients. People might want to explore their past, develop coping skills, learn how to respond to a certain life issue, find a listening ear, or have any other goal that will help them live their best life. My goal as a counselor is to help as many people as I can by promoting their wellness, in whatever way that looks like for that person, in a culturally responsive manner. My clinical interests include grief/loss, relationship issues, and life transitions.

My hope as a psychotherapist is to build a relationship based on trust, respect, and hopefulness with my clients. I view psychotherapy not only as a way to address symptoms, but as a gateway to more joy, wholeness, and pleasure in our lives.

It can be profoundly painful to embody an identity that our culture strives to suppress, whether you’re queer, trans, have a larger body, or otherwise do not fit societal expectations. Too often we are pressured to conform ourselves to narrow and ultimately unattainable standards of who we should be and how we should live. Maybe you feel inadequate, ashamed, alone, or even guilty about the attraction you feel, the body you live in, or questioning your beliefs. You’re looking for a space to unburden yourself, to safely explore beyond what you've been told is acceptable, where you don’t have to make yourself small.

Life is full of change, experiences, and community. I am passionate about helping clients generate balance & inviting joy into their lives through connection & loving their healthy, authentic selves. With my experience as a trauma specialist & an educator of coping skills, a safe virtual space is held to address facing the challenges of change, past experiences, & our hopes in creating a life that celebrates who we are! I have enjoyed working with adult clients with many diagnoses and specialize in working with adults experiencing complex PTSD, anxiety, & depression, & recovering from sexual abuse. I work with multiple diagnoses.

I offer counseling for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and women's issues. Because I understand that life goes on despite our thoughts and feelings, I feel it's important to be a guide and a soundboard to help you address your issues head-on while maintaining and sustaining new and better habits of self-care, mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance.

I'm so glad you're here! If you're looking for a therapist that means that you're considering a change in your life. Something isn't working the way you want it to; whether that's interpersonal relationships, work, school, or just the way you feel about yourself. If you're ready to work on finding balance and making some changes, then I would love to hear from you.

Knowing where to begin when seeking help with our personal struggles is, for most, a challenge in itself. Finding comfort in the familiarity of solitude and unhealthy means of managing our struggles is what we become accustomed to and feel a sense of security. Change and the uncertainty that creates, is where belief comes into play. Belief that life can be different, and that we ourselves are capable of taking the steps to change. I believe in individuals being their own greatest advocate and strive to create a safe space for them to navigate the challenges that have clouded their path.

As a therapist, I believe in the power of supporting others in unlocking their inner potential, while defining their concept of joy or contentment based on their terms. I support people by utilizing therapy modalities (i.e., narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance & commitment therapy), rooted in strength-based practice and framed in multiculturalism.

When describing my work as a therapist, I often say that therapy is the art of having awkward conversations. The things that come up during therapy sessions aren’t often broached around the dinner table or at social gatherings, so talking about them can feel overwhelmingly weird. No one wakes up in the morning and says, "Hmm. You know what I'd like to do today? Spend an hour talking to a stranger and tell them all my deep, dark secrets." Sometimes, though, life circumstances, interpersonal difficulties, and emotional troubles make these conversations necessary. This is where I come in.

If you feel stuck in a difficult season of life, I look to help you find a way forward. If you are stuck because of stress from the past or something happening currently, I will work alongside you to find some relief from your symptoms, and then increase your understanding and self-awareness. Our past has a way of influencing how we live in the present. I hope to help you discover the root of what is going on, so you can learn to move forward in your life with new skills and confidence.

What if you aren't something that needs to be figured out but a person worthy of time and understanding? At its most basic, my goal as a counselor is to show up in our sessions and demonstrate to you, over and over again, that it is safe to share with me because I am able to remain curious, compassionate, and non judgmental no matter what arises. I believe that even our most troubling thoughts and behaviors can be understood as ways we have adapted to get our needs met. Through this respectful lens, we can explore what new paths might be possible.

I once read that, “Strength does not come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming things that you thought you couldn’t.” No one should have to go through life’s obstacles alone. As your therapist, I am here to support you and help you achieve your goals. I pride myself in offering a safe and nonjudgmental environment for growth and healing. It’s my desire that each client leaves my office feeling heard and seen. Together, we will come up with a plan to navigate any concerns or problems that are facing.

My clinical experience has encompassed a range of diverse settings, including crisis intervention, inpatient facilities, PHP and IOP programs, community-based outpatient clinics, equine-assisted therapy, and college counseling centers. I particularly enjoy guiding individuals through the complexities of mood disorders, psychosis, addiction, and trauma, often while navigating challenging relationship and family dynamics.
