Therapists in Marion, NC

I love that there is always room for discovery in life. I see therapy as an avenue for self-exploration, creating movement, healing and growth. Life challenges and hardship can stall movement. This often leads to feeling anxious, afraid, angry, shameful, depressed and stuck. Therapy can be an effective tool in creating healthy resolution to issues that create suffering, deepening your awareness and self-acceptance, allowing you to experience more joy, peace, pleasure and authenticity in your life. My approach is person centered, creative, down to earth and often playful, respecting uniqueness and honoring the vulnerability necessary to be genuine.

I feel passionate about serving those who have experienced trauma, particularly attachment-based trauma. Above all, stable and consistent connection for someone with an attachment-based trauma can make all the difference in the world. I believe there is great power in holding a space for someone to feel heard and understood, as many folks do not have that safe space with anyone in their life. I also have experience working with folks with substance use challenges. I find that substances can often be what someone turns to when they don’t have the tools and support they need to manage the challenges they are facing.

If you’re on a journey of coming back to yourself, your body, and your wholeness, you’ve come to right place. If you’ve been feeling that it’s time to unpack the traumas you’ve been carrying for too long, or if you’re ready to get to know all of the parts of you, even the ones you tend to look away from in shame, you’ve come to the right place. You have the power to create a life you are excited about—a life you're fully here for. You have the power to embrace, heal, and live into every facet of yourself. I would be honored to support you to open your hands to the power you hold.

I'm here to assist you in navigating through challenges and moving towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. I create a non-judgmental and safe space for clients to explore, learn, and grow on their journey toward self-discovery and healing. My counseling approach is eclectic, person-centered, and trauma-informed, drawing from various evidence-based modalities depending on each client’s unique needs. These include but are not limited to, Rogerian person-centered therapy, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, CBT, DBT, MI, and NARM. I'm a trained EMDR therapist.

Hi there! I hope to come alongside humans on their unique healing path; whether that journey be healing pain from the past, lightening a sense of shame, shifting ongoing patterns, or learning to live with loss, I hope to create a safe space where you can be known. I believe this is the foundation to tap into the healing, wisdom, and courage you already have within you.

I love working with individuals in the big transition stages of life. I have a passion for helping patients sort out the often confusing and disorienting realization that there is no "right" way to do things. Being a new parent, navigating relationships and intimacy, working through family relationhships and the every changing political climate are all transitions that interest me. The journey is about figuring out a happy medium between your way and what is acceptable to those that love and support you.

Welcome! I am so excited you've taken this first step towards therapy! I currently serve adults age 18 and up. I am well versed in working with those who are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, Race-Based Traumatic Stress, micro-aggressions in the work place, relationship conflict, and survivors of traumatic experiences. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve goals such as increasing their self-esteem, develop healthy coping skills, decrease feelings of depressions and isolation, and increasing ones ability to make positive choices to help increase their quality of life.

I believe everyone deserves a space to process, heal, and experience empathy and validation. Good outcomes in therapy can be expected if you feel the therapist genuinely cares and has your best interest in heart and mind. Your therapist must also have skill, knowledge, and experience with clinically proven therapy techniques. I provide both to you as my client.

Life is a journey that is cultivated by various experiences that may put you in a place facing depression, anxiety and other forms of mental illness that may seem to be unbearable. My approach to counseling is driven by a strength based perspective. I look forward to assisting you through emotional processing by tapping into your personal inner strength of resilience to carry you through this journey which is most often referred to as life itself.

People generally seek counseling because where they are is not where they want to be. Moving from one place to the other can only happen if changes are made. I focus on creating a trusting and safe environment with an emphasis on collaboration to help ensure that the process to change, though possibly difficult and even painful, is ultimately rewarding and lasting. My focus is on treating you as an individual with unique needs and goals and I will work with you to develop strategies for change based on the information you bring to each session.
