Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Greenville, NC

I am a psychotherapist licensed in North Carolina and Virginia. In my career I have worked mainly in an in-office outpatient setting but recently I had a traveling position providing psychotherapy services to seniors in assisted living and nursing facilities along the east coast of NC. I have also had the opportunity to work in a school-based setting as well as in a juvenile residential treatment facility.

There is hope, no matter what you are experiencing. Having someone listen without judgement, genuinely care and assist you in exploring your problems can help. I want to support you in exploring the issues that you are facing and encourage you to discover positive ways to manage your stressors and difficult life situations. Together we can develop a plan for treatment that's best for you. Your therapy will be unique to what you or your family needs. With children, parents will be involved in treatment.

Hey! and Welcome. Just thinking about working on yourself is courageous, so I’m rooting for you for just being here. Over time, I have found that lots of people come to my virtual therapy office when, on paper, they have emotional and intellectual intelligence, they are driven and have supportive relationships in their life, yet there is often still a loud inner critic, a pattern of people pleasing, a feel of not being enough, that keeps coming up suggesting deeper work. It is my joy and honor to be able to build relationships with clients (and even have fun) untangling these patterns so you can finally feel as great as you are.

I have over 20 years of experience in mental health. I am trained in EMDR, Hypnotherapy and CBT. I enjoy using humor to ease tension and lighten the mood, as I build rapport and help people feel supported. When working with clients, I help them identify natural support systems, set healthy boundaries, develop coping skills, gain work/life balance and process trauma. I have a holistic collaborative approach to care focusing on building resiliency using active listening, empathy and unconditional positive regard.

Have you or your child been feeling stuck? Have you started to question who you are and what it will take for your circumstances to change? Have difficult memories from the past started to creep back into your mind? Has the voice of outsiders and social media started to make you question your success? Maybe you're in the midst of a major life transition. Holding these thoughts inside while balancing daily tasks can be stressful. Being able to express yourself in a safe space can make all the difference while you begin to view yourself and your circumstances with new lenses.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 5 years of experience in providing compassionate and effective therapy to individuals. I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and major life transitions. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from East Carolina University. Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings, including community mental health, schools, and private practice. My experience in these varied environments has equipped me with a deep understanding of the complex challenges that my clients face.

Are you feeling stuck, depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you feel ready for change but find yourself repeating old patterns of relating and behaving? I would like the opportunity to help you achieve the changes that you desire. I have a client-centered approach and I see each person as a unique individual. Together, we can work on a plan to help you reach your goals. I work with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, stress management, depression, addiction, grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, and adjusting to life changes.

Drawing from my experiences in culturally diverse communities across the globe, I strive to create a safe space in which your values and beliefs form the foundation of our therapeutic relationship. By pairing your interests, preferences, and strengths with my background in modalities such as CBT, DBT, CPT, ACT, and expressive arts therapy, we’ll work together to craft an approach that works for you. No matter what’s going on in your life that’s led you to seek therapy, we can figure this out together. You don’t have to do it alone.

Accepting Clients - Welcome! You have made the first big step in taking control of your mental health by simply searching. This is big, and you should be so proud of yourself for starting this journey! As a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 10 years of experience, I would be honored to join you, and walk along side you as you lean into exploration and restoration. Life can be hard, but even when it doesn't seem possible, you can do difficult and amazing things.

Therapy is typically viewed as something that is challenging and scary. However, I want to help clients see that therapy doesn't have to be challenging and scary yet, it's something that everyone can benefit from. In life we all can face obstacles, some small while others can be life changing. Life changing enough that it can effect how we perceive, people, places, things, and even how we perceive the world. When we get to this point many of us don't know how to cope with the struggles life brings. It is important for us to find peace within ourselves by learning who we are, how things affect us and understanding what we need.

Need help figuring out why your relationship just keeps doing the same thing over and over? Do you feel like no one is actually hearing what you? Is it hard to get past something that happened a while back? We often keep repeating things because we think if we just do it again or do differently we'll finally unlock the barrier that's held us back. My people come to see me after trying something over and over and they feel defeated. Often, the secret is a small tweak from a slightly different angle that helps with trauma, anxiety, depression, communication, and/or relationships.

Congratulations on taking the step to consider therapy! My approach to the process is Person-Centered, neurodiverse affirming, and unique to your specific needs. Founded in scientifically proven theory, a holistic approach is considered which include biological, psychological, emotional, social and spiritual aspects. I often use techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Internal Family Systems. Operating from these perspectives I offer you a tailored experience. Your needs and well-being will always be the focus, in a safe and non-judgmental space for exploring, learning, and fostering deeper connections.

My practice is dedicated to supporting teenagers and adults from all backgrounds, including those within the LGBTQ+ community, those managing trauma depression and anxiety, psychosis, Bipolar I or II, and Borderline Personality. I specialize in providing tailored support to clients who are not only ready for change but are also deeply committed to improving their lives. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, empowerment, and collaboration, as we work together to navigate challenges, build resilience, and foster meaningful growth. Whether you're seeking support to navigate your mental health journey or striving to overcome.

My goal as a psychologist is to increase self-awareness and create positive change in a nonjudgmental environment. Psychotherapy can relieve emotional distress, improve one's quality of life, help process painful events and increase self-awareness. Unfortunately many people are conflicted about the decision to get help and may see psychotherapy as a sign of weakness. It has been my experience that people who are unhappy for whatever reason and choose to go to psychotherapy are being assertive, healthy, and courageous in the handling of their problems.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) I have worked in various settings such as home health/hospice/bereavement, health department, major universities, medical clinics and V.A. I chose the Social Work profession because while in the foster care system as an adolescent and teenager, a wonderful social worker empowered me to facilitate change and choose the direction of my life at the age of 13. In my practice, I acknowledge that you are the expert of your story so we build on your self-determination and strengths. I believe in holistic approach-focusing on whole person-mental, physical, spiritual, social-all interconnected.

I am a psychotherapist with many years on mental health experience. My clientele is adults, 16 and up. Areas of practice focus are anxiety and depression, chronic pain, grief, traumatic loss, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and adult ADHD. I'm trained in the therapy modalities of hypnotherapy, EMDR Exposure (CBT), and Emotional Freedom Technique - an energy psychology method. In helping clients break old habits, I'm a licensed provider of Trim Life, a weight loss program using hypnosis. Another program is Clean Break for smoking cessation.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a State Certified School Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I have established a holistic approach in counseling that cater to all ages. Although I am a mental health professional, I explore a divine approache that impacts an individual's faith and spirituality. I believe everyone has the ability to heal through appropriate techniques, personal development and modality of counseling. However, God is the only healing component that makes all things possible through spiritual manifestation. If you feel spiritual counseling is what you need, please allow me to assist with your growth and development toward your goal(s).

Sometimes we feel alone, even in a crowd or with significant others. Pain, trauma, feeling different/misunderstood/unknown or even how we see ourselves can drive a wedge between us and the people and life experiences that matter most to us. If you are looking for someone who will join with you as you find your way through to a more meaningful way of living and toward more fulfilling relationships, then I welcome you to contact me for a free consultation.
