Sexual Abuse Therapists in Pittsboro, NC

Every day I have the privilege of working with the bravest folks on the planet & none of you know it when you first walk in the door. You often feel defeated, overwhelmed & ashamed that you aren't able to "get over" your sexual, physical or emotional trauma. It's also common for you to have a nagging, chronic sense that something is just not right, an unhappiness; feeling unloved or unlovable, disconnected from friends and family, having lost a sense of purpose or direction. Without knowing that these symptoms may be telling us that a past trauma--long ago

Accepting New Clients in NC and UT! Do you feel stuck in past traumas, disconnected, discouraged or overwhelmed? Does your child find growing up complicated and confusing? While life offers many beautiful moments, navigating today’s world can overwhelms us. We may struggle understanding our feelings or our behaviors and feel unable to move beyond our worst moments. But growth, healing, and relief are possible! Are you ready to move past limiting experiences and change internal hurtful messages? My passion is to help others return to -or discover for the first time- that place of curiosity, safety, and joy that lives inside us all.

Many persons I see are exploring spirituality for their personal growth and deeper understanding of themselves and their difficulties. They increasingly sense the limiting nature of the fear based ego. An ego that can limit or sabotage their choices and relationships. Yet a clear steady path from stubborn ego patterns to their authentic self can be elusive. I draw from Eastern teachings, meditation practices, the Enneagram, ACIM, and the Hawkin's map of consciousness for this path. I emphasize emotional mindfulness and the intuition that arises in the Silence and stillness of meditation to recognize Spirit in oneself and others.

I am honored you are here and I am hopeful that together, we can collaboratively begin a journey in which we help you to find a sense of balance, validation and relief.

After working with patients for over 30 years, I have come to believe that setting clear therapeutic goals and establishing a working partnership of trust and commitment are keys to success. My aim is to balance acceptance, compassion, and validation with the need to make sustainable changes. Learning self-regulation and life skills are priorities. Developing effective action plans in a safe and non-judgmental environment also facilitate positive outcomes. I look for every opportunity to collaborate with other providers if my patients request this and are seeking a team approach.

My approach to psychotherapy is that of a humanist; that is, successful therapy results in your continued evolution into your true self. My therapeutic style is gentle and engaged, and I respect your intelligence. I strive to provide an atmosphere of care and compassion which allows you to curiously explore what events, past and present are contributing to your challenges. It's important to me to take the time to understand your values and desires so that our work is grounded in how you see yourself.

What is it that brings vitality? What gets you stuck? Often times we don't realize, we are not taught, that the key to well being is our relationship with self and with what is actually happening, not what we think should happen. As we learn to trust what is arising rather than believe it is bad, and we learn to value and process emotions and experiences, we start to relate to our self and to life differently. Setting limits, bold choices, passion and clarity become more possible and natural. And so we find: our suffering, our symptoms turn out not to be a problem to be fixed, but a gateway to our freedom.
