Sexual Addiction Therapists in Huntersville, NC

Not presently accepting new clients. I am privileged to be in a profession where I am a witness to the strength people have in their most difficult times. The buildup of stress, anxiety, disconnection, traumatic events, or major life transitions can leave you feeling helpless, hopeless, and looking for relief in ways that feel confusing and unauthentic. Being able to reflect and come to the conclusion that there has to be a different way to cope is the first step toward enacting change. In therapy, my clients work to heal from past hurts, address current stressors, and plan for a vibrant future.

We specialize in couples counseling, relationships and sex therapy. The broad umbrella of sex therapy includes sexual abuse, sexual addiction, sexual dysfunctions and polyamory. We are Safe Zone trained and an LGBTQ ally. Our practice is also accepting newly licensed LCMHCAs for supervision. Contact us today!

Seeking support for life's difficulties can be daunting. Partnering with others as they walk through these difficulties is one of my lifelong passions. Let's begin to investigate your own particular story and see how it can be rewritten. The most important benchmark for each session is establishing an environment of trust and openness. From there, we can work to break through barriers. My goal is to support, educate, counsel and guide you through it all.

I am continually amazed at the ability of the human spirit to heal. A traumatic event or the build-up of everyday living can feel overwhelming and you may become disconnected from the person you used to be. You sometimes find yourself coping with life in ways you never would have expected. Recognizing that your coping skills are no longer able to manage your stress is the first step. My clients work to rediscover, and often discover, the person they were meant to be. My joy comes from witnessing my clients move from being stuck to living fully.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, a loss of self-worth, or a loss of hope? If you are tired of being plagued by uncontrollable addictive behaviors, partner betrayal trauma, triggers, negative thoughts, an inability to turn off your brain, or low self-esteem, I can help., Identifying the source and reprocessing memories helps eliminate the pain. I use EMDR to resolve past trauma and present difficulties. EMDR often helps get to the source of your trauma and distress. I offer EMDR in the office and through an online platform called, RemotEMDR for NC residents.

"Conflict is the inflammation, disconnection is the virus." Since hearing this quote from Sue Johnson I have not seen a couple, family or individual where this does not ring true. I want to help reconnect you to those you love, while holding a healthy, non judgmental therapeutic relationship.

The typical clients I work with are like you and me, usually have successful careers, have a faith orientation, although not always, and have a tremendous longing to find, repair, or revitalize something gone wrong in themselves or in relationship with those closest. They are individuals and couples who are hurting at their core, who want more than just a quick fix, a few techniques, or merely a listening ear. They want answers, real, deep, transforming answers. They realize deep down that it is probably going to take longer than they want or expect. But, they are longing and willing to do whatever it takes to get to a better place

I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with relational hardships. Often these relational barriers are due to faulty thinking patterns developed in early childhood, however, they create difficulties in controlling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors today. I understand there are also spiritual components to emotional and relational problems. Consequently, I will often times utilize the Bible or Christian references to assist with treatment. In conjunction with my strong personal faith, I will also be using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to uncover your unique human development which led to your present state.

Your pain can be purposeful. Through therapy, I want to journey with you to bring fuller awareness to your struggles, then highlight opportunities to overcome them using your strengths.

Collaboratively, we can create a new story that aligns with your goals. As well as being a licensed counselor, I am also a Qualified Supervisor in NC.

Life is not always easy. Sometimes life is challenging because of circumstances related to our actions; sometimes these challenges are a result of circumstances beyond our control.

It is my hope that each of my clients will learn not just to weather and survive these storms but rather to conquer and overcome them.

Each person is a unique individual whose life and experience is different from anyone else, and deserves to be addressed with unconditional positive regard for themselves and their circumstances.

I find fulfillment in helping others learn to overcome their substance and behavioral addictions. I work with patients to solve the complex problems that lead to addiction—validating their journey along the way and providing unconditional positive regard through their troubles and successes.

I look forward to guiding you through the discovery of healthy solutions to those problems.
