Relationship Issues Therapists in Hendersonville, NC

Life can be a wild ride and finding your way through it can feel like an overwhelming task. However, you don't have to navigate this path alone. I believe that many of our challenges stem from normal reactions to unusual circumstances. My goal is to assist you in delving deeper into your understanding of yourself, your life, and your relationships, ultimately guiding you towards acceptance rather than struggle. Together, we will pinpoint the values you wish to nurture, compassionately confront any obstacles, and utilize creative techniques to help you craft a life that is both genuine and purposeful.

I work with adult individuals. Every individual is unique, and every couple reflects the uniqueness of the individuals - I tailor my therapeutic approach to the issues that the individual presents, and, if he or she is in a significant relationship, how those issues may be reflected and resolved in the relationship with another. I draw on the person's strengths for solutions not only for their own issues but within the context of relating to others. Psychotherapy is a partnership between the patient and the therapist that fosters problem-solving and growth as an individual and within a relationship.

Each person's therapeutic journey is unique. The biggest step is the willingness and desire to seek help, especially when things are difficult. Openness and engagement are the pillars of a strong therapeutic relationship. My clinical practice focuses on the needs of the client. Allowing your needs to guide the treatment process. Determining which pathways work best for your needs.

People often enter therapy during times of emotional pain, uncertainty or at a time when they are seeking more meaning in their lives. Each person has within them a powerful impulse toward growth and healing. I trust that impulse and trust the therapeutic relationship to reveal your strengths, wisdom, and the next steps to your growth and healing. There is something of value in even the most difficult circumstances. When these circumstances are approached with an openness to learning, major transformations can take place. I find that the willingness to look inside yourself is a key factor in your healing.

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.

I have worked with many cultures and views from all over the country. I hope to take my years of experience and apply it to those seeking help. To be a support and empathetic resource to help empower you into self discovery. The path of healing is often complicated and painful at times. Let us begin your journey into a clear mind, body, and spirit as each is needed for a healthy life.

I provide relational and person-centered therapy to individuals, couples, and families. For the last 14 years I have served a diverse population in treating mental health needs including, anxiety, addiction, relationship/marital trouble, and negative behavior/thinking patterns. People often come wanting a solution to these and many other problems. In my practice, I have found success in helping people look deeper than the surface or for an easy solution. I wish I could promise an easy road ahead. What I can promise is compassion, empathy, support, and guided help on this road to healing.

My aspiration is to attract the couples that I can help the most to my practice of Imago Relationship Therapy. These may be couples who are in a basically sound relationship that they would like to deepen and invigorate, couples who are stuck in unfulfilling patterns that they would like to transform, and couples who are wondering whether it is too late to recover the feelings of closeness and vitality that they once had. What all of these couples share is a mutual willingness and perseverance to do the work required, and to put in the time needed, to discover the full potential in their relationships.

I believe that we all have the potential to feel and live better, even if life circumstances are challenging. Many people find it difficult to feel confident and self assured, have peaceful, fulfilling relationships, navigate the demands of family, work, and home, and also focus on nourishing self care. These challenges are interconnected and are related to how we have developed our sense of self in the context of our family's expectations, our experiences, societal demands, cultural assumptions, and media influence. It's necessary to learn new ways to live our best lives in these particular circumstances. You are not alone.

My primary focus in therapy – with individuals, couples or families – is to support and facilitate my clients in their journey to a deeper understanding and awareness of themselves. This goal is best achieved, I believe, by encouraging self-acceptance and insight, and by forming with each client a safe and nonjudgmental relationship. It is within this alliance that, together, we can explore, understand, and begin to gently dismantle the obstacles and unproductive patterns of coping that, although once useful in dealing with painful life events or childhood relationships, may now be keeping them from enjoying a more fulfilling life.

**Not accepting new clients as of 7/8/21**Whatever may be impacting you right now, a supportive ear, a caring witness can help you understand and sort out what is going on and explore ways to alleviate distress and improve your quality of life. I have experience and interest in working with individuals struggling with anxiety and mood disorders, relationship issues, chronic health problems, women's health (fertility issues, pregnancy, postpartum issues and adjustment), life transitions, work stress, parenting and a wide range of mental health concerns. I will work with you to shape the therapeutic experience for growth and change.

You are creative, live life consciously, and have enjoyed success in many areas of life. You juggle your career, family, and friends. But it's not easy, is it? In fact, it's impossible when you feel stressed out and the imbalance is contributing to anxiety or depression that you may be experiencing. I'll help you find more balance and experience greater joy and harmony in your life. For couples, I will help you feel more deeply respected and honored by one another. Together, we'll reduce the conflict and tension in your relationship and bring back the fun and romance.

I help teenagers and adults move through life transitions. Topics such as school, friendships, dating, parents, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexual activity, substance use, trauma and making choices can invoke all sorts of emotions. I will be non-judgmental, empathetic, humorous and tough-loving, and I'll ask you to be courageous, vulnerable and curious about your thoughts and behaviors. Together we will create insights, change habits, confront fears and self-defeating choices, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.

I have been practicing clinical psychology for nearly 20 years as a licensed psychologist. In that time, I have had the pleasure of working with many people who have struggled with a wide range of challenges including relationship and couple's difficulties, addiction, anxiety, depression, serious health concerns, loss, and trauma. I utilize a number of different perspectives including cognitive-behavioral, emotion focused individual and couples, and dynamic therapies. I am also trained in EMDR, mindfulness, relaxation, stress, and pain management.

Do you feel like you don’t know who are? Do you feel misunderstood? Have you struggled with confidence, fear, and hopelessness? Having these thoughts and emotions can be incredibly painful. Many feel ashamed for having them and try to manage their mental health on their own. This tends to perpetuate greater feelings of isolation and relational pain.

I work with people to discover the tools and techniques that will help them experience greater fulfillment in their relationships, work, mind, body, and spirit. As a clinician, I love supporting individuals from all walks of life to find, create, or strengthen their most meaningful relationships. Building your relational skill set can aid you with all your interactions: from strangers, acquaintances, and co-workers, to friends, family, your children, and your lover.
