Life is a journey, full of complex relationships and events that we all strive to understand and live with. Life can become complicated by traumas and relationships, as well as from internal struggles, such as anxiety or depression. Without help, these complications can leave us struggling to cope. I believe we all deserve happiness and understanding as we travel this journey, whatever complexities we face.

Are you feeling lost? Struggling to make changes in your life? Do you need encouragement and help? In 2014 I began Solid Foundations Counseling Center to bring hope and change to the lives of individuals, families and communities. I believe in treating people with dignity and respect regardless of background or struggle. You matter. I provide individual, couple, family and group counseling to children and adults. Areas I specialize in include mood disorders, ADHD, parenting skills, defiant behaviors, domestic violence, trauma, physical and sexual abuse and relationships.

Over 15 years I have assisted individuals/groups to achieve goals and perspectives to a healthier mindset. Through a supportive environment, I have been helping clients to utilize tools to guide them in personal challenges. Specializing in the medical arena, I assist clients with chronic pain, depression, and other challenges with a dedication to client-centered goals. I enjoy working with older teenagers, adults and geriatric populations. As a retired military veteran, I am sensitive to the needs of our active duty, veteran, and veteran family. I currently serve in the Red Cross as a Services to the Armed Forces Facilitator.

I have experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and adults in the areas of ADHD, ODD, Adjustment Disorders, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Divorce, Physical and Sexual Abuse, Neglect, and parenting struggles. I have a background in Child Protective Services focusing on reuniting families, Intensive In-Home treatment, individual and family therapy, and community engagement.

An important element I bring into counseling is a holistic understanding of you and your system. Through this, we discover dynamic ways to affect the issues in which you desire to see positive and enduring change. Furthermore, I practice a balanced approach. One side of counseling is more hands-on advising that involves practical and effective life skills. On the other side, counselors are neutral collaborators that facilitate self-exploration, depth, and healing. Through scholarly research and personal practice, I strive to bring both elements into my counseling relationships to achieve quick and lasting systemic change.

Are you tired of struggling and hoping things will get better? If you are feeling sad, hopeless, or out of control, I want to help you get back to a balanced life. If you think you may have anxiety and/or depression, or just find yourself struggling to focus or concentrate, call me today. You don’t have to live this way. It is my goal that you leave our first session feeling truly heard and cared for and a renewed sense of hope. Along with individual therapy, I provide marriage and couples counseling. If you long for a more loving and passionate relationship, I want to help you both achieve it.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed--by work, big transitions, relationships, family, life. My approach is gentle, non-judgmental, and deep. I enjoy helping clients become more fully aware of themselves and of the patterns that hold them back in life, and working with them to feel more grounded and connected with themselves and with others. Many of my clients are people who are in helping professions or caretaking roles. Many are women or non-binary individuals, and are longing to feel more at home in their own skin and more confident in their own strength, beauty, and wisdom.

In today's hectic and challenging environment, problems seem to take the joy and satisfaction out of our lives. All of us want to make meaningful connections and live our most fulfilling, best lives. At Practical Counseling Solutions, PLLC I collaborate with my clients to provide practical and cognitive solutions to change behaviors and increase mindfulness and practical coping strategies that will assist you in navigating barriers in life.

My clients are ready for a transformation. They desire to move beyond trauma and the crappy things that have happened to them (e.g., loss, abuse, misunderstandings). They get triggered, caught in negative thinking, and stuck in feelings of anxiety, shame, sadness, anger, and depression. They are ready to quit avoiding the difficult conversations and feelings. It is time for them to leave behind old stories that keep them stuck and create a life that is more fun and rewarding. My clients desire feeling more peace, joy, love, abundance, and to experience more harmonious relationships. They are ready to love themselves fully.

Are you haunted by your past? Do you struggle with anxiety and stress? You can heal and thrive: I believe that change is possible, even in the most challenging circumstances. You can move past old wounds and into your present for a full and fulfilling life. You will learn to embrace change and growth without unnecessary fear, and find your passions and gifts in life. If you are ready to start this process, call me for a free phone consultation on how you can change your life.

You’re feeling tired, anxious, empty, hoping to find balance with your family, marriage, your children and mostly with yourself. You want to change how you approach the stressors in your life, but you don’t know how to even start. Finding your path through difficult challenges feels overwhelming most of the time. Are you hoping to find someone that will not only listen to you but also your story?

People who have experienced trauma, PTSD, depression, addiction, relationship conflict, or any other behavioral health challenge, suffer in ways that significantly reduce their quality of life. My mission as a clinical therapist is to serve my clients as a "midwife of the soul". I help each of my clients to transmute their suffering into inner strengths, engage in positive behaviors, and, ultimately, transform their lives as they participate in the joyful process of birthing their own soul.

If you are having the same arguments over and over again, you are not alone. I will be with you every step of the way. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples to interrupt repetitive Cycles where one person reaches out in frustration, causing their partner to withdraw and hide out. Couple Therapy doesn't have to be torture, and there doesn't have to be a "bad guy". I have helped couples with a range of issues from Domestic Abuse to infidelity to communication issues. I even use humor sometimes, but we don't waste a moment! I welcome couples who have been in couple therapy before and have almost given up.

*(Currently full. However, if you resonate with me, email me and we'll make it work. Free consultation)* I specialize in working primarily with men and adolescent males, focusing on healing trauma, increasing self-esteem, finding your purpose, creating a healthy work-life balance, and healing damaged relationships. I facilitate men's groups and assist in healing wounded father-son relationships. I help you remember that you are enough. You matter. And you are worthy. Knowing and feeling this is our natural state of being, but sometimes we forget it due to the trauma we experience in our life, especially during childhood.

For any relationship to work you must be able to communicate. Marriage can be tough. I help people communicate and manage their conflict. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, serving North Carolina since 2003. I provide marriage, premarital, individual counseling for adults. I see people with a variety of therapeutic concerns including, but not limited to, trauma, depression, anxiety, & non-supportive spouse.

If you are looking for quality therapy by clinicians who treat you as a whole, unique person (body, mind, and spirit), Wisdom Path is a good fit for you. Everyone is exposed to multiple stresses, and we struggle with the demands of a fast-paced society. Often, we develop unhealthy ways of compulsively numbing ourselves though work, food, sex, gambling, shopping, substances, or social media. At Wisdom Path, we facilitate you becoming fully present in your life, creating meaning, and developing intimate connections with others. We don't just treat mental health issues; we promote wellness and growth.

I view clients as whole people in the context of their lives - You are more than just a diagnosis. It's important to me to collaborate in setting goals, selecting an approach to therapy, and checking in along the way. I've worked with people from a broad range of backgrounds with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, stress, relationships, life transition, assertiveness, time management, and LGBTQ+ issues. I also provide relationship counseling for high-functioning couples who want to improve communication, feel more loved, work as a team instead of against each other, or just get unstuck from an old issue or pattern.

I know anxiety inside and out--the way only someone who has been there and crawled her way out can understand. The cycle of overthinking, worry, and panic is exhausting. I understand the effects of anxiety, perfectionism, and shame, and I want to support you in managing the overwhelm so you can deal with the challenges that lay ahead. It's possible to quiet the inner voice that criticizes everything you do, and it's possible to feel at peace. I've dedicated my life to understanding trauma, stress and anxiety. You’re not crazy. It may feel like everything has changed, but the impact of these changes doesn’t have to last forever.
