Female Therapists in Morrisville, NC

First, let me acknowledge the courage it takes to reach out. I look forward to talking with you to find out more about what led you to seek counseling and to determine if we're a good fit. My theoretical orientation is primarily person-centered, which means that I believe that given a nonjudgmental, accepting space to explore issues, individuals can move towards growth and change. In addition to a person-centered approach, I frequently incorporate mindfulness into sessions, as well as techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. For clients interested in a more somatic approach, I use EMDR and EFT Tapping.

***I am not accepting new clients, currently.*** What if you knew how to cope when your fears, stress, and responsibilities overwhelm your everyday life? In our work together, I will help you learn how to manage your symptoms of distress as we identify the root cause and work through core issues that lead to anxiety, depression, and general difficulty in managing life transitions. I have 18+ years of experience working with women, couples, and families using a mix of DBT, EMDR, Solution-Focused, CBT, & Mindfulness based approaches to address issues of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My goal is to help you to resolve the problems that bring you to therapy and to help you to understand the personal and environmental factors that might have contributed to your problems. I draw from both insight-oriented and cognitive-behavioral approaches and I believe that therapy is first and foremost a collaborative partnership where the patient and therapist work together to achieve stability; restore functioning; remedy long-standing, problematic behavior patterns; and develop a platform for lifelong growth, renewed energy, self-development and enhanced relationships. I've been in practice since 1990.

My training and experience make me a good fit for both adolescents and adults seeking services for anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders; grief and loss; adjustment disorders; co-dependent behavior; substance abuse and recovery; relational concerns; life transition;and a variety of personal growth issues that may draw an individual, couple or family to counseling. I have provided services to children, adolescents, and their families in a school based setting, to adults in an inpatient facility, to professionals in recovery, college students, military, and employees seeking therapy for professional and personal matters through an employee assistance program.

I provide individual counseling using person-centered theory, a non-judgmental approach based on empathy and unconditional positive regard. I believe that you are the expert on your life and I am here to help you identify your strengths, face your challenges, and empower you to make changes to improve your quality of life. I use techniques from Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectic Behavior Therapy to provide you with tools to create lasting change. I will offer you a safe environment, based on understanding, trust, and respect, to support you in your journey toward positive change.

My practice is full. I am not accepting new clients at the time. / Are you looking for a way to live more fully in the present and want help letting go of past experiences or self-defeating beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors? Are you in pain because of a damaged relationship, past trauma, chronic self-doubt, or all three? I have unique skills and experience that can help. Clients say I am patient, down-to-earth, direct, and collaborative. I am ready to walk with you on the path towards the changes you long to see and experience.

We all come across seasons where we need a push to start exploring, begin processing, and embrace changing. The therapy room is the perfect environment for those ground-breaking things to take place. I specialize in helping adults identify the parts of them that make them unique & help establish awareness into how that affects their everyday life. I also help individuals navigate the uncertainty of transition while developing confidence & resilience. I have experience working with stress, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma & life transitions as it affects one's ability to maintain focus, peace, & clarity in different life contexts.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), I work with those that are feeling stuck, unsatisfied, frustrated, or distressed and seeking a change. I specialize in relational work, whether those relationships are with your romantic partners, family members, friends, or yourself. I work collaboratively with you to identify those places of change so that you can live in a way that feels more authentic and meaningful. I fully believe in the inherent value and worthiness of all people and this value guides my practice.

Are you ready for change? Are you tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by the stress of everyday life? Do long for a sense of calm and contentment but find it difficult? Do you struggle with managing your emotions? The stress is taking its toll— on you, your work, and the people in your life. You are ready to invest in your mental and emotional health which is the best gift you can give yourself. By seeking counseling, you are choosing to prioritize your emotional health, vitality, which will impact every facet of your life, including relationships, career, and personal fulfillment.
