Therapists Beginning With B in North Carolina

Are you overwhelmed with the day to day mess? Are you still recovering from the impact of the pandemic? Perhaps you are a recovering overachiever, looking to set boundaries, or undergoing complex family dynamics. Did you think that being an adult would be easier?! As a person who is learning & growing as an adult daily, it's easy to feel bogged down. Do you want to be more emotionally aware & compassionate to yourself and others but don't know where to start? Life doesn't have to feel like this and I'm here to help! Let's work together so the load can get lighter. Change is right around the corner.

I have 20 years of experience working with a diverse client population. My experience includes individual counseling, family counseling, and group counseling. I address an array of client issues including depression, anxiety, grief/loss, transition stress, relationship problems, self-esteem, parenting, racial trauma, work trauma, and career issues. Counseling includes both the development of a trusting relationship between us and the development of goals and plans for you to accomplish them.

I believe in using an individualist holistic approach with clients. When working with clients I utilize an integrated approach to best meet the personal needs of my clients. This integrative counseling approach strives to balance mindful awareness, a genuine and empathic relationship with the client, and a collaborative effort at identifying what changes a client can make to minimize emotional and behavioral disturbances.

Psychotherapy is the opportunity to learn about yourself, and to make changes you haven't been able to make before. When we understand ourselves we can change how we relate to ourselves and others, we can work toward meaningful accomplishments that connect with our deepest values. Therapy can help you to become more effective, stronger, and more fulfilled, as you become the person you want to be. If you're looking for guidance through a challenging situation or you're ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and unable to cope with life? Zoom right in, and I will reserve a space for you. I am prepared to listen, motivate, and help you resolve the difficult challenges in your life. Whatever struggles you are going through, I am here to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to take back your life. The first step is to get to know you and your current needs so that I can help you accomplish your life goals.

I meet every client "where they are" and work with them to move forward, heal and re-set, as needed. The client is guided through the therapy process with the sessions having a comfortable conversational style. I practice with a strength-based approach to address problems/issues, such as: depression, anxiety, trust, coping with medical/chronic conditions, self-esteem, anticipatory grief and loss and relationships. It is very rewarding to observe clients find their strength/power as they work through what they have identified as "problems" and move towards feeling better.

You have taken an important first step in your healing journey by visiting my page and I hope I can be a positive support to you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) with over 10 years of experience in the social work field. I have experience providing compassionate support to children, teenagers, adults, and couples. I have worked in a variety of settings, including domestic violence shelters, crisis centers, and non-profit organizations providing family and individual services.

If you're experiencing a major life transition, thinking about making a change, or feeling unfulfilled in your daily life, seeking therapy can help. I understand that change and growth can often be uncomfortable. By working with me, you can expect a safe and understanding place to explore current and past difficulties, process emotions, and achieve holistic wellbeing. I have training in art therapy, mindfulness, meditation, and trauma-informed approaches. I offer traditional talk counseling and art therapy to teens and adults experiencing life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem issues.

...Life often involves challenges effecting the journey toward personal and professional objectives. There are times when it is only the support of genuine listening, empathy, and guidance that desired outcomes are achieved. Whether you are trying to cope with anxiety, depression, self-esteem/confidence, relationship challenges, communication skills, impulse control concerns, life-transition issues (e.g., military/vet, divorce, job loss, retirement), trauma, grief, physical/sexual abuse, or other life challenges. Life is difficult and requires growth and change that are not always easy or comfortable.

Many people who decide to come to therapy describe a desire to feel happier and more satisfied with one or more areas of life. We all have times in our lives when we know we need to make a change, but taking the steps by yourself can feel overwhelming. Therapy is an opportunity to learn about yourself and to empower yourself to grow and make necessary shifts in order to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. Maybe it feels like things have fallen off the rails, or maybe you're feeling a little stuck, or maybe it's somewhere in between...we'll meet you where you are, and take it from there!

Therapy is an opportunity to have an empathic conversation in which we collaborate and co-construct your personal narrative. We will work together to develop a renewed understanding and purpose so you can move towards you preferred future.

My goal is to help you achieve whatever success looks like for you. Often, reaching our goals can seem daunting and even anxiety-provoking. Let’s tackle this together! I have worked in community mental health, outpatient, inpatient, volunteer, and primary care settings. I have experience helping clients who have had various concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, trauma, life change adjustments, adoption, substance use, and aging family members. HOURS: M-F 10am - 4pm. Weekend hours available on 1st and 3rd weekends of the each month.

Throughout my life, my passion has been helping people have the tools, acceptance, and confidence to feel at peace in life and to find joy, no matter what is happening around them. That feeling of peace and acceptance creates room for personal growth and understanding that in turn impacts every aspect of life. I am thrilled for the opportunity to provide a therapeutic space for this kind of growth and healing. We all have strength, capacity, and contributions beyond our current self, and sometimes we need help removing the barriers blocking us from being the person we want to be.

It can be both rewarding and vulnerable to begin or continue therapy: I create a warm, non-judgmental space for reworking old patterns that may not serve you anymore. Life experiences, environment, circumstances, and cultural systems of power all shape our understanding of ourselves, of others, and of the world around us. Together we can explore what matters to you most, where you may feel stuck and how you can find more ease. To inform our work, I primarily draw on your history and relational experiences, your own body’s feedback, information from contemporary neuroscience, and our in-session interactions.

Life is full of beautiful moments, trying times, and everything in between. Maybe you are going through a big life transition, or you are simply wanting to try something new to better your mental health. I believe in an open, honest, and authentic therapeutic relationship. Together we can creatively navigate the challenges you face and work toward goals to enhance your life.

As a therapist, my focus is on building and nurturing connections – whether it's working with couples striving to strengthen their relationships, supporting individuals on their path to recovery from addiction, or helping those seeking to deepen their faith. My goal is not only to guide clients towards sobriety or relationship stability but to empower them to rediscover true happiness and fulfillment in their lives. I believe that true healing comes from understanding oneself, and I am committed to offering both insight and practical skills that clients can incorporate into their daily lives.

We all face rough patches in life from time to time. Whether it's a broken heart, broken trust, broken dreams, broken thinking, or just feeling broken, we all face times when we are not sure how to proceed on our journeys. Wherever you are or whatever you are facing I believe you have already taken the biggest step in healing by admitting you need help. I would be honored to help you take the next steps in your mental health journey by offering you a listening ear, opennheart, and the necessary skills and practices to help you move forward.

Let'swork through and challenges you are encouragingat this time. I would like to think challenges can be upward mobility. We need that one vessel to assist us to get through it. I tend to come in and assist with challenges such as depression, mood disorders, abuse, anger, anxiety, resentment, and fears. I utilize DBT, CBT, Motivational interviewing, and MBCT to assist with coping and overcoming.

The stories of our lives have a tremendous impact on who we are as people, and how we feel. As a narrative-based therapist, it is my privilege to be invited to witness your story and be part of the change that you are seeking. With training in marriage and family therapy comes a unique understanding of how relational experiences, how you grow up, communities, and society as a whole can impact how each person interacts with and understands the world around them. I operate from a neurodivergent affirming and trauma-informed style, and seek to offer a compassionate and understanding atmosphere while inviting you to challenge yourself.
