Therapists in North Carolina
The frameworks that most align with my work are Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, although I tend to incorporate a bit more of a poetic version of these counseling models that includes the narratives and experiences of your personal history that may not be completely in your awareness.
If you are struggling with relationship concerns, self-concept issues, career development and transition experiences, and grief/loss concerns, I’d like to help. Whether these emerge as depression, anxiety, or behaving in some way that you want to change, I have 25+ years of experience helping clients navigate their challenges. My clients usually describe me as “more active” than other therapists (which they seem to like) and that I have a way of saying/asking things that offers a helpful perspective. I also explore how your identities, beliefs, and values can be part of your growth and healing.

Are you feeling sad or overwhelmed or as if nothing seems to be making you feel better? Is it also hard to see life beyond troubles? And, despite your best efforts it has been hard for you to focus in your personal life, work, and relationships? These are some of the concerns my clients and I have worked on addressing to help improve their quality of life. As your psychologist, I will assist you to achieve your goals and help cultivate meaningful life experiences and relationships. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness and Acceptance based principles in my counseling approach.

Moving your personal narrative into your embodied experience. We then work together applying many tools for change. My therapeutic style supports you, taking your vague desires, or back burner dreams and making them into actionable words, goals, tools.

My work is informed by this truth: Life is difficult and facing its challenges requires courage and connection. I strive to create an environment of non-judgment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed, issues can be explored, and values can be acted on. Asking for help can be awkward, but I view it as a strength that often opens the door to relief, problem-solving, and transformation. Each day I witness how counseling helps individuals navigate predictable life-stages as well as unexpected crises. And I see that healing, growth, and meaning are within reach for all.

Is your relationship what you want it to be? Whether you want to strengthen your connection, or you're worn out from frequent fighting, hurt by broken trust, or considering separation or divorce, the wisest first step you can take is to get the right help. As a couples therapy specialist, I help partners gain clarity about themselves, re-establish trust, improve interaction, teach them how to manage conflict, heal from hurt and betrayal, and rebuild connection, friendship and intimacy. Many couples give up too soon, without getting help. But where there is a flicker of love, there is hope!

My approach is rooted in the belief that with insight, knowledge, support and effort you can be empowered to live the life you desire and manifest your goals, whether internal or external. I will work with you to develop a stronger, more accepting sense of self through mindfulness, challenging negative cognitions, and validation. I deem myself a counselor, rather than a therapist, one who provides counsel through education, support, guidance, and feedback, with a directive and accountable style. By providing "bumpers," we can work together to identify and dismantle the barriers to living out your intentions.

I believe how we treat our bodies affects our thoughts and how we think affects our bodies. Therefore, I integrate a holistic approach into the therapeutic process. I work with clients to address the root cause(s) of symptoms and to promote healing through the use of various techniques tailored to each individual’s needs. I use yoga, meditation, and mindfulness in conjunction with traditional talk therapies to recenter and rebalance the mind-body connection, to improve inter- and intra-personal relationships, and to create physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
