Trauma Focused Therapists in Greensboro, NC

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and families seeking to improve relationships (with themselves and others), family dynamics, emotional well-being, anger/stress management, parenting, and anxiety/depression. My counseling approach incorporates techniques that emphasize healthy communication, trust-building, and the teaching of effective coping skills. Text me at 336-663-6570 with your counseling questions.

I believe in the process of collaborative work toward healing. I use a compassionate, strengths-based, and nonjudgmental approach. I utilize EMDR, CBT, Grief Counseling, Strength-centered, MBSR, and Positive Psychology.

I serve clients in-person and remotely, ages 18 and up, who are dealing with issues around depression, loss, anxiety, panic disorder, eating disorders, trauma and a host of other mental health issues, and who are looking to overcome their internal and external life challenges and create a richer, fuller, more meaningful life for themselves. This clientele is looking for ways to gain new coping skills, address prior trauma and be able to navigate the ups and downs of life while keeping their focus on what really matters to them in life.

Hello! I'm so glad you're here. Some say, "Grow where you are planted." However, it takes recognizing when you have outgrown or need to adjust your soil level (e.g., environmental or internal changes) to thrive. I offer clients the space to sort out what they desire in their life or need (e.g., sunlight) to move into more nurturing soils. Taking inventory of what you need in life is not a diss to the folks you love, but instead, allowing yourself the opportunity to live most fully.

Are you tired of feeling like you are living your life on the sidelines? In the day to day in life you may often give so much of yourself to others that you have no time, effort, or energy left to pour into you. Let me help you break the fourth wall in your life and help you discover that it is healthy to have consideration and boundaries for yourself and with others and build coping skills for dealing with anxiety, depression and coping skills that keep you feeling stuck in the cycle.

Ideal clients will understand they are the expert in their own lives; I am merely here to walk alongside them in their journey. Common issues include previous trauma (e.g. sexual abuse, interpersonal violence), anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Goals range from decreasing levels of anxiety and depression to eliminating intrusive traumatic memories and nightmares. Coming to therapy without a "real" goal is absolutely okay too! We can work together to figure out what is realistic for your circumstances.

Imagine that with some time you learn to trust me, but really trust me. You feel like you can be just as you are and like you don’t need to wear a mask, even in the midst of sharing a fear or being vulnerable. Imagine that when you are doing this I don’t run away or trivialize what is giving you trouble or how you hurt. Instead, I sit with you – sometimes over and over. There is no need to change or be different before I can accept you. Then, when it’s right, I will learn to attend to your troubles carefully and decisively.

I enjoy working with the adolescent population, as well as the young adult population. My main goal is to support my clients through the goals they may want to achieve, as well as provide a safe & welcoming space for them to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Life can often get in the way of us taking care of ourselves and providing the space for us to grow and thrive. Stress, trauma, and difficult experiences often interrupt our emotional well-being and create emotional distress. Everyone deserves the opportunity to find their true self to experience joy. Hence, it's my passion to come alongside kids, teens, and adults, and support them in the journey toward health and happiness.

Have you reached a place where you find yourself with nothing left to give? The act of giving is entangled with caring. Caring requires energy. Energy that you no longer have. It appears as though everyone (yes, everyone) relies on you for something. They expect you to sacrifice yourself to satisfy their needs & wants, regardless of your needs, let alone wants. Their dependence on you to satisfy their wants & needs is overwhelming and heavy. Women are conditioned to carry heavy loads at the expense of self.

I understand what it is like to take that first step towards therapy, and I am so glad you are here! At RCS, I count it a privilege to partner with you to assist in creating a powerful change in your life and help you reach the goals you desire. I work with individuals (6+), couples, and families on a range of life concerns, including anxiety, stress management, depression, conflicts with life, relationships and love, parental and family concerns, trauma, faith, spirituality, and so much more. Whatever you bring to the counseling room, we will work it out together.

I see my clients as not a collection of symptoms but as people who have adapted and evolved to cope with the world around them. Our world is difficult to navigate for creative, sensitive folks who do not fit into societal norms. I work with clients who want to learn how to be themselves in a world that doesn’t always value them.

Being heard. Being seen. Being validated. Having your voice. Having someone be present in the dark and the light. In the pain and the joy. These are vital needs we all have and deserve. I have worked hard through the years at helping clients find their voice and to reclaim what is rightfully theirs - themselves. For those folks dealing with substance use issues, recovery issues and accompanying grief, loss and trauma issues it can feel overwhelming and hopeless. I want to help you find a safe place where you can begin a process of recovery that offers you freedom and hope.

One of life's simple pleasures is the ability to enjoy yourself when you are in the company of others. If there is anything we all have in common, it's the burden of challenges, struggles and tough times. Fortunately, there are resources available to help meet these situations with confidence, certainty and assurance. My purpose is to help you navigate through periods of turbulence to a place of smooth sailing. In fact, the most powerful tool that you already have at your immediate disposal is Hope. Never under-estimate the power of Hope! It's what led you here

I look forward to working with clients that are motivated to make a change in themselves and dedicated to the therapeutic process. I want counseling to be a warm, accepting, and open-minded experience for my clients and it is a goal I always strive for. I believe to make lasting progress in therapy, it is important to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with the client through genuine understanding, empathy and unconditional positive regard. I have experience working with individuals presenting with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, sexuality concerns, school and life changes, and acute and chronic trauma.

It's time to do something about how you are feeling. Never been to therapy before, or not sure that talking about your problems is right for you? Feeling stuck and knowing that you need to make a change? Change is possible and getting to the life you want is possible. Call or email to see if this is right for you. Or if your loved one is struggling with addiction and you are looking for ways to cope with this-- I can help you better cope and manage these relationships. The people who come see me are professionals, persons who didn't see themselves talking with a counselor, or maybe not even sure they have a problem.

No matter where you are on your journey—starting, healing, growing—I’m here to support you. I work with adults of all ages and especially love working with helping professionals. I help those who are struggling with: addiction, trauma, issues in relationships, feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, boundaries, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can work towards a life where you feel more connected, empowered, and fulfilled.
