Therapists Beginning With K in North Carolina

I specialize in supporting individuals preparing for or experiencing challenges in postpartum, and through other life changes. You eagerly anticipated welcoming a new baby, or making a big change in your life, but it's not going quite how you had hoped. You're realizing you’re feeling drained, on edge, overwhelmed, you're wasting time on mindless distractions, and have lost sight of the parent you are or wanted to be. Or maybe you noticed your relationships with others started to become strained, angry, or distant. I can support you in figuring out what’s causing those feelings and how to get back to who you once were… only better!

My goal is to help you to discover your resources and to find and use your power to take a more active stance in your life. I provide counseling for adults, couples, and young women on relationship issues, power dynamics, conflict resolution, and issues around confidence, anxiety, or general 'stuckness', dealing with these concerns as women. I also provide counseling for mother/daughter pairs to help them build a stronger relationship, even as they grow individually.

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.

Do you want to reconnect and fall in love with your partner again? Or maybe your relationship has felt distant and you really want to feel close again. Do you feel lonely within your relationship and question if it’s even possible to get back on track? You want to build deeper intimacy and trust between you and your partner, but each time an issue arises you both get defensive and it spirals downwards, leaving you feeling more alone. You deserve to have a relationship that feels supportive and nourishing and it is possible to rebuild a deeper connection of trust and intimacy.

The chance to be heard and seen with warmth and compassion is what I strive to provide in my therapy sessions. We’ll work together at a pace that you are comfortable with in a collaborative conversation that validates your life experiences. It may take some time to build trust but my hope is that you can speak unfiltered about whatever life circumstances have brought you to therapy.

Seeking support for life's difficulties can be daunting. Partnering with others as they walk through these difficulties is one of my lifelong passions. Let's begin to investigate your own particular story and see how it can be rewritten. The most important benchmark for each session is establishing an environment of trust and openness. From there, we can work to break through barriers. My goal is to support, educate, counsel and guide you through it all.

I believe therapy works best when we harness your inner strength and agency through increased self-reflection, self-compassion, and positive coping.

Accepting New Clients- You are a woman who already has insight and awareness into your difficulties and challenges, but are looking for a therapist to pull it all together and meet you halfway. You struggle with anxiety at times; overthinking, negative thinking and sometimes can not get out of your own way. Things from the past cloud your mind. You understand how your thoughts can be irrational but you have a hard time moving past the "feeling" of how you feel. You want tools and ways to navigate your anxiety and life's ebbs and flows but also ways to cope with what we may not be able to change.

Accepting New Clients- Navigating life’s journey isn’t always straightforward. Along the way, we all face hurdles that can seem overwhelming—like they’re too much to handle on our own. And that’s okay. No one is meant to tackle life’s challenges alone. I firmly believe that each person holds the keys to their own life, but sometimes, we need a little help finding the right door. In our sessions together, I offer a supportive and courageous space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions. We'll work collaboratively to equip you with the skills needed for positive and lasting change.

Do you ever feel stuck in life and unsure how to create the relationships and life you desire? I work with adolescents, adults, and couples to address concerns of depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, anger management, academic concerns, life transitions, communication issues, and marriage or relationship counseling.

It can be so painful when we experience pain and disconnect in the relationships that matter most to us. Whether it is with your partner, spouse, or family relationships, it can be so painful when we experience hurt, rupture, and misunderstanding in these relationships. It can feel disorienting, heartbreaking, and hopeless when we try to find our way to heal in these relationships without experiencing progress.

My approach is rooted in the experience and belief that we have the answers within. I want my clients to not only survive the challenges they are facing, but to thrive and live a life that they love. My clients are often incredibly intelligent, creative, and driven. I have seen my clients accomplish amazing things when they get clear on their goals and apply their gifts toward a fulfilling and meaningful life. My goal is to help you get beneath the layers (often thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns) and get down to your core. Much of our work focuses on aligning your decisions and actions with your own truth.

There is a saying, “It’s going to be hard, but hard does not mean impossible.” Life has an individual way of teaching us. Navigating life can be challenging. We all long for seeking our purpose and to have a sense of direction in helping us live happy fulfilling lives. Our past, present, or idea of the future can keep us from finding satisfaction. I specialize in working with individuals who are transitioning in their life, navigating relationships, and experiencing loneliness, low self-worth, domestic violence, and eating disorders.
