Art Therapy in North Carolina

Hi, I’m glad you're here. Right now you may be at a point where you’re tired of being "strong” all the time, people-pleasing, and struggling with low self-esteem. You're the type of person that doesn't ask for help and you're probably pretty good at “having it all together.” I can imagine how exhausted you must feel. I would love to help ease your burdens. With my empathetic and easy-going nature, I'll help you let your guard down, regain control over your life, heal from your past, and learn to love yourself. Whether you’re a teen or young adult (13-35), I would love to help you experience the joy and freedom you deserve.

Virtual art therapy and counseling for North Carolina and Florida residents! For most of your life, you have felt different and misunderstood from those around you. Maybe your skin color, culture, hobbies, faith, etc. put you on the sidelines. You've taken on the "anxious, slow, or hyper" personality type because others described you this way. You have not felt “good enough” in all spaces and have difficulty feeling worthy. So, over time, you have learned to assimilate, blend in; but that has meant becoming someone that isn't you. It's as if you're playing a part in a play but were never given the script.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and North Carolina and owner of Stepping Stones Family Therapy Services, Inc. I have had the opportunity to work with a vast population over the last 10 years.

As an LPC, I work with individuals, couples and families to address their areas of distress and concern using primarily cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy, psychotherapy, and employing art and play therapy techniques. It is a great honor and privilege to be trusted to work with individuals, couples and families to help restore a healthy balance and to begin to help people transform their lives into feeling a greater sense of purpose and productivity. I provide programs for community groups on anxiety/depression, parenting, and grief/loss. Areas of specialization include women's issues, children, adolescents, couples and families.

As a therapist, my mission is to create a safe and encouraging space where you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, struggles, and goals.

Choosing a therapist can be an intimidating and overwhelming process. Finding a comfortable fit for you and/or your loved one is an important factor in the therapeutic process. Thus, we offer a free consultation to help relieve any anxieties, answer any questions, and allow you to find out if the therapist on our team would be the right fit for your needs and preferences. We view our role as a guide to assist, empower, and equip you with the skills (tools) utilizing your own strengths, finding strengths that may be hidden, and teaching ways to develop new skills to assist in overcoming life's challenges.

For ten years prior to being a therapist, I have been a Parent Educator, a postpartum doula, a Lactation Consultant and a Childbirth Educator. I am uniquely qualified to work with persons who are desiring to be pregnant, trying to conceive, mourning the loss of a pregnancy, or those who have recently had a baby or babies! I also enjoy working with teens, those on the cusp of adulthood and anyone who is struggling with a transition in their partnership or their career. We can work together to discover and discuss your values and what may be holding you back from achieving your goals and dreams. I look forward to hearing from you!

Life is a journey full of new beginnings. Change can be difficult. But the rewards of taking that first step towards change will be worth it. My passion is to empower others to achieve their fullest potential, to guide clients work through their current challenges and help them to move beyond — so they walk away stronger, wiser, and feeling good about their ability to shape their own future.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? Do you strive for breakthrough but somehow seem to always fall short? Do you want to finally achieve progress and reach your goals? I can help by utilizing psychological tools to push past these barriers and into a more fulfilled life. As a Christian therapist we can utilize both psychological tools and Christian principles to achieve breakthrough. Too often Christians practice solely from a spiritual perspective and neglect the psychological or worse, deny it exists. I believe both spiritual and psychological can work together collaboratively.

Do you feel worried for your child? Is it hard to understand why he behaves the way he does? Do you worry that family stressors are bleeding into her life and well-being? As a child therapist, one thing I hear many parents say, is that they feel their child is having to navigate adult-size problems and stressors at an earlier age than they ever had to. And, they’re right!

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS I am passionate and excited about the therapeutic work I do with each individual I see. I work to build a safe, trusting and honest therapeutic relationship. As this therapeutic relationship builds I guide, challenge and encourage each individual to take the skills they are learning, the courage they are building and work towards the goals they are taking the steps to reach. Therapy is a journey that will take you through the process of finding clarity and understanding you are struggling to find due to eating disorder(s), anxiety, depression and/or postpartum depression.
