In Person Therapists in Huntersville, NC

Every day is the same. Before you even open your eyes in the morning, the hypotheticals start. What if something terrible happens today? What if I’m late to work and I get in trouble? All day you expend emotional energy trying to distract yourself from your racing thoughts. When you get home, all you want to do is collapse in bed. But as soon as you do, the negative thinking starts again. You obsessively replay every interaction from the previous day. When you finally doze off, it feels like only moments before the alarm buzzes, and it’s time to repeat the whole thing again. You can’t go on like this– something needs to change.

Do you spend most of your days "faking it"-- You do your best to get the job done, but on the inside you are worn out, stressed out, and overwhelmed? Are you struggling with changes that are beyond your control, such as losing a loved one, separation or divorce, or a chronic illness? Is your past haunting you... contaminating your present, hurting your relationships, and keeping you from being fully alive? You are not alone. And it is no accident that you are reading this today.

What we know for sure is that life is beautifully complex. No one is exempt from new challenges, life transitions, pain or conflict. While past experiences influence the present, what happens to you does not have to dictate your overall quality of life.

When we begin to see challenges as purposeful moments urging us to learn, heal, grow and evolve, we can begin to accept, and even honor, our circumstances. How do you do that? Well, my goal is to empower you by providing guidance, tools and insights to lead an emotionally healthy life.
