Reality Therapy in Winterville, NC

Challenges are inevitable, but defeat is optional. As professionals, sometimes it’s easy to feel hopeless & ignore difficulties in our relationships at work or at home. It's hard to ask for help when it seems no one is willing & when you’re used to getting things done on your own; but stress, exhaustion, burnout, weight gain, & other negative effects of inadequate or unhealthy coping are real & can have major consequences. Don't face challenges alone. If you can't change your experiences, you can learn how to cope with them. As a trusted professional, I want to help. Well-being, peace, & life satisfaction is within reach.

Metaphorically, as we identify the issues and curiosities you bring into counseling, we become the seas; as we work together to explore and notice the things surrounding us, we develop a therapeutic alliance; we then become the sailors. We navigate the waters using therapeutic tools; we practice in a safe space, and build capacity in you, the soon skillful sailor. Reach my website: www.counselingteaandtherapypllc.com

My desire is to bring a holistic approach to mental/behavioral health as a clinician. I have a genuine desire, to share the evidence based tools and techniques, required for one to be successful in the process of healing. Our sessions can include sitting on the floor with many pillows, while meditating or talk therapy. Or sitting in a comfortable chair, while practicing EMDR or relaxation while in session. Rapport and comfort are extremely important. In order for therapist and client to work together as a successful team. The end goal is to feel better when you leave than you arrived. With tools you can use in your every day life.
