Couples Counseling Therapists in North Carolina

Thank you for considering working with me as your counselor. I work individually and in groups with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I approach counseling from a person-centered theoretical background, meaning I believe that each person has within themselves the tools to grow, change, heal and improve. It is my goal to help individuals access those personal resources and grow in their personal self-efficacy. Self-awareness and self-efficacy, while goals in the counseling relationship, are difficult to achieve and will take time, energy, and client engagement. Clients will feel that they are able to face life's challenges.

Living with chronic illness (interstitial cystitis) and pain, I’m intimately aware of the toll it takes on the body, mind, and spirit— how it’s woven into the fabric of all aspects of living, how it has a tendency to keep us tethered to fear, hopelessness, and isolation. I believe in validating the reality of what is chronic and pervasive. I also believe it is possible to soften the grasp these diagnoses have on our lives. As a woman, I’m passionate about supporting those with conditions that are far too often invalidated and overlooked, such as IC, ENDO, & PCOS. Building community offers something solid to be tethered to.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS (Couples, Families and Children) Everyone struggles at some point in time in their lives. Acknowledging this to another person can be incredibly difficult yet, freeing. True strength is in recognizing our faults (because we all have them.....yes we do) and working to change them. That is why we say the healthiest people are sitting in our office. The healthiest people are those who can acknowledge that they can't do it alone. Sometimes we need to trust in other people to guide us and give us perspective. It can be a challenge to open up to friends and loved ones for fear of judgement or rejection.

This I know to be true: Your future, how you perceive the world, how you feel about yourself and your behavior toward your family and friends is very much up to YOU. With courage, honesty, some hard work and a bit of help you can: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Feelings, Change Your Life.

My ideal client seeks transformative therapy, valuing empathy and holistic approaches. They often deal with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Their needs include emotional support, empowerment, and personal growth. Their goals are emotional wellness, self-discovery, improved relationships, and career success. They seek therapy to lead a purposeful, fulfilling life free from limitations and past traumas. I'm dedicated to providing guidance and innovative methods to help them achieve these goals.

I help clients recognize that they do not have to be victims of their circumstances or history. Sometimes we are faced with painful circumstances. Sometimes even everyday life begins to feel overwhelming. The unfortunate reality is that we cannot always control what happens in our lives. We can, however, choose how we respond to the difficult things that occur. I believe that all of us have the ability to grow and to make positive, lasting change in our lives. My role as therapist is to help facilitate this process.

Currently accepting new clients. I am always humbled to be a part of someone's mental health care journey. I enjoy working with folks who are navigating all of life's issues, including recovery from trauma, high anxiety, depression and relationship issues. My practice is goal oriented and intended to support you with making the changes you want to make in order to show up as your most authentic and happy self.

I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist since 1991.

Hi Thanks for taking a look at my profile- Reach out if it seems we might be able to work together in a way that would be helpful to you...I'm working only via telehealth which reduces your commute time. My clients tend to be working on being awake and aware of and attuned to and stressed by the complexity of our culture today. I work with issues of alternative sexuality, gender dysphoria, relationships in all forms including relationships that are kink friendly and/or poly. I come from an eclectic training background but use RLT and IFS more often than other modalities.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you wish that you could change the past? Are you anxious about things on the horizon? Do you need help moving forward because you simply feel stuck? Are you a parent whose child is dealing with issues that they either won't share or that you struggle to help them with? For over eight years I've helped people experience a better quality of life that answered yes to one or all of these questions. My passions are assisting parents with expanding their coping repertoire, helping couples and families hear each other, and assisting children in finding their voices after traumatic events.

I take pride in providing a personalized and unique approach based on each client's specific needs. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all option when it comes to providing therapy. My goal is to create a relaxed, customized experience for clients based on their individual needs and the challenges they are facing.

At Sanctuary Counseling Group, we believe in creating therapeutic relationships with our clients that promote the healing of heart, mind, and soul. Therapy is a Sacred Space. As a systemic therapist, I welcome individuals, couples, children, and family systems into the room. I believe in creating a non-judgmental and open context that will often draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Experiential Therapy, and Mindfulness-based strategies. I received my Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pfeiffer University and was selected as the Student of the Year by the faculty.

Resiliency is a word that gets thrown around a lot. But what does it really mean? For most of us it is about recovering quickly from adversity and learning new skills to keep moving forward. Resiliency is the key to better social, physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is also the result of positive relationships; optimistic realism; self-compassion; healthy coping skills; emotional intelligence; and finding meaning and purpose in life. Therapy is one tool for building resiliency and getting you to where you want to be.

Have you been thinking that maybe it would be easier if you just weren't here anymore? It's awful, isn't it? Well, if you are going through hell... keep going. You made it this far. And even though it may seem like things will never get better, I'm here to listen, validate, and help you find a way out.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counseling Associate who strives to create a space of trust and safety in which clients can heal, progress, and develop self-compassion. I have experience helping clients with a broad range of presenting concerns, with an educational focus on trauma. I cater my therapeutic techniques to each individual client's needs, drawing most heavily from Person-Centered (approaching clients as equal collaborators, with empathy and non-judgement), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (focusing on thought patterns), and Gestalt Therapy (focusing on emotional and somatic experiences).

I provide a safe space for you to feel seen and heard. My greatest passion is bringing growth and healing to my clients and helping them gain a greater sense of awareness without guilt, judgement, or shame. I guide and empower clients to live authentically, challenge old beliefs, and sort through their emotional baggage to heal from past pain. I am an advocate for self-healing. It is my joy as a Therapist to walk with individuals in their healing and change journey. Connecting through conversation is a great first start as you begin your counseling journey. Take that leap of faith and call me today!
