Therapists in North Carolina

My practice is dedicated to helping individuals effectively navigate life challenges. My approach is non-judgmental and supportive. I strongly believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship. Because of the vulnerability involved in exploring your feelings, it is imperative that you feel safe and trusting of me. Together, we will process your feelings. This often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and better coping skills. My focus is to collaborate with you on creating your personal goals and to offer you a comfortable environment to work through issues that are causing you unhappiness.

I enjoy working with individuals and families to overcome barriers in communication, solve problems, and become more self-aware; with the overall goal of improving mental and physical well-being. I use a compassionate, accepting, and mindful approach to create a safe place where self-discovery and healing are possible. Working together will include goal setting and an exploration of the resources and tools available to help in meeting short and long term goals.

Stop finding yourself back in familiar, repetitive, negative emotion states like anger, anxiety, or sadness. I work with clients who experience intense or painful emotions along with the relationship or behavior issues that often accompany them. I have unique training in Transactional Analysis and Redecision Therapy which I use to help clients get free of coping responses & compulsive behavior. I use Motivational Interviewing to assist clients to connect to their inner sources of motivation to grow & change. Learn how to move out of avoidance, over-compensation, or surrender -- stop coping and really thrive.

There are times in life when our struggles seem unbearable and overwhelming to deal with on our own. Therapy can be a wonderful resource to help unpack those heavy emotions and navigate the difficult times. As a trained therapist, I am here to guide and support you through those difficult times.

I have been in the other seat and done the important work of healing and I feel so honored and grateful every day to partner with others on their own path to healing. My approach to counseling is gentle, encouraging and nurturing, although I can be direct when it is helpful. My support is unconditional and without judgement.

My approach to counseling is what I would describe as warm, inviting and most of all accepting of every individual’s unique story. I am committed to assisting my clients in uncovering the thoughts, patterns and beliefs that may be holding them back from experiencing the fulfillment that they desire either individually or in their relationships. I have a deep passion to help my clients find the hope and healing that they deserve. I believe that every person, relationship, and family is capable of transforming their lives and even their family legacy through the work they do in the counseling setting.

I help individuals & couples overcome obstacles such as adult ADHD and autism, anxiety, life transitions, conflict management, and lack of connection in relationships. I advocate for clients’ relationship with self and others so they may leave therapy with the confidence to handle the challenges of life. I create safety and trust with clients through empathy and a judgement free environment. I offer couples help with identifying negative cycles causing hurt and disconnection while teaching them skills to improve communication and increase satisfaction and fun in their relationship.

I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, creative, evidence-based, results-oriented, flexible, and holistic. People often arrive at psychotherapy when they want to deal with problems, alleviate emotional suffering, make a change, move in a new direction, or find well-being. I try to balance acceptance and change, acknowledging that the first step towards change is accepting reality. I think the therapeutic relationship needs to be a real and genuine connection. I value being kind, genuine, thoughtful, direct, honest, and playful as a person and a therapist.

My life's passion is working with women in transitional times of their lives and all young adults and middle-aged adults as they move into new life stages or search for a fulfilling career. I greatly enjoy working with LGTBQIA+ clients and with the Latino and immigrant community, and I am also passionate about working with couples, helping partners improve communication and gain insight into how our pasts affect current relationships. I have a special interest in helping people with relationship issues as well as issues related to break-up and divorce, and I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and parents.

Life transitions happen. People come to see me because they're experiencing difficulty coping with emotions and circumstances, struggling with relationships, or self-defeating patterns. They desire new boundaries or improved family dynamics. We work together in a warm, safe environment where deep personal issues are explored, having impact long after therapy has ended. We are dealt challenges: relationship issues, mid-life crises, assertiveness, self-confidence, self esteem, sadness/grief, pet loss, family-of-origin issues, fear of success, career changes, emotional and mood challenges, anxiety, stress and compulsive eating, life limiting illness, or the effects of trauma.

Welcome. I am committed to helping you understand and process the reasons for your current distress and then begin a process of healing and transformation. Life's currents can be calm and beautiful, and have waves that gently rock us, but occasionally storms blow in, with strong winds and rough waters. How we negotiate life's changing currents depends on our navigation skills and also our internal state and external supports.If you are feeling thrown by life's stormy weather and not sure what to do to right your ship, consider a compassionate, therapeutic consultation with me.
