Divorce Therapists in Pinehurst, NC

Life can be challenging at times. Some situations in life can cause you to feel anxious, depressed, or maybe worried about someone in your family who is dealing with emotional distress. When transitioning through different phases in your life such as a new job, relocating, parenting, divorce, aging, loss, or retirement you may experience some significant challenges. Any of these situations in life may bring you to seek someone to help you gain perspective and coping skills for navigating through.

Every human being faces struggles in life; and making the decision to seek professional help can be a difficult choice. I have been working in the field of mental health for twenty-nine years and have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. My focus, primarily, is in dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, situational stress, divorce, PTSD, and alcohol and drug abuse/addiction. I believe that the therapeutic process thrives when there is a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client. Respect and unconditional positive regard are paramount in my private practice.

I enjoy working with a variety of clients to overcome obstacles and challenges and increase happiness and satisfaction in multiple areas of life. My primary treatment approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy, meaning we work on changing thoughts and behaviors in order to change feelings, but I do incorporate other approaches when they would be beneficial. If you are seeking to improve your self-esteem, relationships, work, or school performance, I may be able to assist. Also, as an Army veteran and the spouse of a retired veteran, I understand the issues our military and families face.

As a Clinician who has been working with children and families for over fifteen years, I have extensive experience with children from diverse backgrounds, including those who have experienced trauma, those with behavioral challenges, and those who are struggling with mental health issues. Through these experiences, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of each child and the importance of providing them with individualized care. By offering children a space to share their thoughts and feelings and process their experiences, we can help them develop the emotional intelligence and resilience they need to thrive.

With 18 years experience, I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples on many different barriers to fulfilling their own potential. My desire is to meet each individual where they are to work towards gaining control over any personal challenges they are experiencing. I pull from many different psychotherapy theories to meet many unique needs and my specialties are diverse.

More and more people in today's world and changing culture are feeling lost, isolated, hopeless and overwhelmed with emotions that seem to come from nowhere. My work focuses on helping people understand themselves, get unstuck, find hope and move forward with new found skills and perspectives.
