Carolina Behavioral Health Alliance Therapists in Harrisburg, NC

As a new therapist + past case manager, I'm experienced in goal and discharge planning. I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where the client can feel comfortable to share their most vulnerable self. My past work includes serving the recovery population and individuals experiencing serious mental illness. I held a certification in KY from 2020-2021 for targeted case management in the SUD with co-morbid conditions population. My knowledge about physical health conditions and their impact on mental health is proficient.

In life we often times face difficult circumstances that may alter our life plans. As a dually licensed psychotherapist, I specialize in working with adults and children who may be suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety and addiction. I offer a safe space where we will work together using your individual strengths to achieve your social, emotional, behavioral and therapeutic goals. I offer evening and weekend appointments to best fit your schedule.

Maybe you're just not feeling your best, and you have no idea where to start. I will walk with you on this journey of self-discovery, healing, and hope. I work with children, teens, and adults.

As a therapist, I believe the dynamic between the client and the counselor is the most important aspect of the therapeutic journey, where the client serves as the master of their own life. Diversity is important and I value the aspects of ourselves that make us individually us. I strive to normalize the human experience and foster space that includes unconditional positive regard, connection, empowerment, looking at the client as a whole, and empathy.

Welcome to my profile! My goals are to help clients navigate difficult seasons of life, manage complex emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and live a meaningful life. My therapeutic style is direct, open, and collaborative. I am passionate about respecting diversity, and I provide LGBTQ+, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed care. In sessions, I like to use a blend of mindfulness-based interventions like DBT and ACT paired with an unstructured use of CBT and solutions-focused therapy. I also like to include activities using art, music, and play.

As humans, we all face challenges that can become overwhelming. Maybe you want to learn how to better manage the challenges in your life. You want to feel empowered and purposeful, instead of feeling like your problems are the one in charge. Or perhaps you are seeking services for your child, who is struggling and could use some extra support. In my practice I collaborate with adults, teens, and kids on reaching their goals for greater wellness. Together we can address concerns such as anxiety, stress management, depression, life transitions, perfectionism & self-criticism, grief, or career & school issues.

We heal in connection with others. We grow into ourselves by being heard. That's the whole idea behind how I do therapy. That can involve skills work from various evidence-based models such as DBT, ACT, and internal family systems. It can also look like getting your body moving in nature. Or sometimes just talking; getting stuff out. In my work, I look to treat the whole person and make sure, first of all that you are understood and known. From there we figure out what you need to keep walking forward on what can be a really confusing and difficult path. We will work to make sure you're headed the direction you want to be.

Asking for help is an act of strength, courage, and resilience. If you or a loved one suffers from trauma, anxiety, and depression, contact us. For a faster response, please email. Negative thoughts, feelings, and self-defeating behaviors get in the way of us realizing our full potential. We facilitate the healing process needed to recover. We know that with adequate support, compassion, and insight, one can have a new lease on life. We believe in the power we have to transform and overcome minor mistakes to the most significant obstacles to live the life that we want to live, enabling peace to surface and calmness to be present.

The earlier we instill positive ways to manage our lives the better. Children can benefit from therapy at a young age to learn emotional regulation to help with big behaviors. We can help with behaviors that may stem from certain diagnosis or family dynamics, school stressors etc. Adult men and women can benefit from therapy with us to help recognize patterns that may stem from childhood or traumas along the way that are interfering with optimal mental health. We enjoy supporting the entire family or individuals we aren’t only a children’s center we just are one of the few providers that specialize in helping all ages 3 and up.
