Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Lexington, NC

I provide teletherapy for children, teens, and young adults (18-25) experiencing anxiety, OCD, panic, and/or traumatic stress. I also work with parents to reduce conflict at home, navigate problematic child behaviors, and support their children to develop healthy emotion regulation skills. Additionally, I have expertise in health psychology and enjoy working with youth who have chronic medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, food allergy, GI conditions). I further specialize in ADHD and offer executive functioning support/organizational skills training.

We all face struggles and feel stuck sometimes, not knowing how to move forward. You are not alone, and you don't have to face these things alone. I have approximately 10 years of experience working with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, family problems, OCD, and trauma. I am also a parent and a pastor's wife, and I have experience working with parenting struggles, spiritual concerns, and church problems. My therapy style is meant to create a safe space that is warm, comfortable, and motivating. I value your trust and want you to feel comfortable being open about your goals for therapy.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor with a background in treating teens and adults with anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, trauma and stress-related disorders, depressive disorders, and various other concerns. Additionally, I have experience working with children, adolescents, and teens with neurodevelopment disorders.

If you're looking for a hopeful space and a sense of partnership in your therapeutic journey, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we can discover the path that leads you to a more fulfilling and balanced life. My practice is rooted in the philosophy of offering a 'hand up' rather than a 'handout.' I am committed to empowering you, building upon your strengths, and fostering resilience that sustains you beyond our sessions. My approach is collaborative and focused on taking manageable steps.

Do you feel on overload from anxiety or a deep sadness that won't just go away? Sometimes we reach a point where we feel we need a little extra help to get through a situation we are facing, or sometimes just life in general. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental approach to counseling and welcome those experiencing life's challenges. I have dedicated my life to behavioral health and wellness and specialize in working with those experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, mood disorders, thought disorders and PTSD, among many others. I also offer Mental Health Assessments, Parenting Capacity Assessments and Child Custody Evaluations.

I truly believe that we all possess the strength to overcome the issues that life throws us. Sometimes we just need additional training and assistance from others to help us overcome life’s obstacles. In our counseling relationship, we will work together to create a genuine relationship in which you feel heard and motivated to achieve your goals. Throughout my time as a counselor, I have been able to gain experience working with those dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, substance misuse, stress management, time management, ADHD, trauma, and adjustment issues.

Are life’s challenges making you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or out of control? Do you feel as though you have lost pieces of yourself and are unsure of who you are or what you want? Have memories of the past or worries about the future prevented you from living the life you desire? Together we will explore and identify any barriers and obstacles keeping you stuck, and implement skills and strategies to help you reduce anxiety, improve mood, strengthen relationships, and foster growth.
