Strength-Based Therapists in 28211

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Psychology from Winston Salem State University, then earned a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I promote person-centered planning and use interventions unique to individual needs.

I use an integrative approach to therapy to best meet your needs. All interventions are delivered through person-centered, strength-based and trauma-informed frameworks. I promote and encourage utilization of personal resources such as strengths, talents and skills to help you achieve the greatest version of your authentic self!

Maybe you've been listening to podcasts, been in masterclasses, and reading self-help books thinking about your emotions so much that you haven't been feeling them. Or maybe you feel as though you are experiencing your emotions "too much." Either way, if you could do this by yourself (whatever the "this" is for you), you would have done it by now! It takes strength and courage to start therapy, and I applaud you for exploring your options. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I offer resilience informed therapy for emotional wellness, mental health, and trauma recovery.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Certified Play Therapist. I was a school counselor for almost a decade and have offered individual and family therapy in a private practice setting for 10+ years. I am passionate about helping children, teens, young adults, and families reach peak life satisfaction. I partner with those facing bumps along their journey to cope with life's challenges. Please reach out to get to know me further!

Are you mentally drained, overwhelmed and just feeling lost right now? You're behaving outside yourself, life feels like it’s passing you by and you don't know who you are anymore. Maybe you’re a new mom, recently divorced or just staring over completely. Well I want you to know you're not alone, and there is hope for the future. I have a strong passion in working with and empowering women of all ages to rediscover the best version of themselves through healing, peace and positivity.

I believe therapy is a place to understand and be understood, to feel empowered, emotionally, spiritually and relationally. I have been in the field since 2007 working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction and homelessness. I work with all ages, especially focusing on family groups seen individually and together. Every client creates a goal centered plan that includes a variety of interventions from sand and art therapy to trauma focused CBT. Therapy is a safe place to share your journey, learn from the past and move towards the future.

Today's world is ever changing and may cause you to feel a variety of emotions daily. I am here to help you learn and develop skills to manage life productively. I am here to help you learn and develop skills to manage life productively. You may be experiencing symptoms from depression, anxiety, or past traumatic life events. Therapy not only addresses the mind, but the body and the spirit.

Adolescence can be a rocky time for many people, but I believe therapy can be of great help. I work with teenagers and young adults, struggling primarily with mood, identity, and impulse control difficulties. My goals are to help young people build their strengths and relationships in order to find happiness and success as emerging adults. Some of the things I treat are: depression, self-harm, anxiety, family conflict, gender dysphoria, transition to young adulthood stress, and disordered eating habits. Generally I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectal-behavior therapy (DBT) within a caring, humanistic approach.

I help overthinkers, perfectionists, and women with imposter syndrome to feel less weighed down by their thoughts, and more free to live a fulfilling life. Clients who come to me are often overwhelmed with pressure to get things perfect and struggle with feeling “enough.” They often prioritize everyone else’s needs over their own and are left feeling emotionally and physically exhausted. They feel like everyone else has it “figured out”, and they want that too. My clients are ready to create change in their lives and feel more peace of mind.

Coaching, counseling and consulting for busy adults striving to achieve mental and emotional wellness. Too often the anxiety and stress of life, career, self-image and identity leave us feeling confused, unfulfilled, unhappy and stuck. Your life is busy, you have everything you need but still, something is missing. We are not taught how to manage our mental and emotional health. We are left to figure it out on our own. It is critical to figure out what works for us, engages us and also what limits us so we can move through life with a strong sense of vision and purpose.

Acceptance, empathy, and respect are the core values I live by and believe necessary when establishing a safe space while walking through the challenges you are experiencing. I get it, it is hard taking the first step to seek help. You may have been going through some difficult situations for a long time, but it does not have to remain that way. I believe you are the expert of your life and I honor that by providing a sacred space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can discover your natural ability that fosters the change you seek.

I work with individuals, couples and families from a holistic and systemic point of view. I specialize in family systems of addiction as well as grief, having worked with families for over ten years dealing with these and other forms of dysfunction. I work with clients in need of support setting clear and consistent boundaries, as well as individuals seeking recovery from codependency. I also have extensive experience in helping individuals ages 6 and older work through grief and loss.

Feeling overwhelmed or dissatisfied with your life? If you have experienced trauma, whether recurring or as an isolated incident, sometimes the typical stresses of a normal day can provoke anxiety, fear, anger, or withdrawal. Therapy can give you the tools to deal with life's challenges and can enable you to minimize your stress levels while continuing your personal growth. I support you in exploring ways to increase happiness and well-being while you integrate lasting, positive changes in your relationships with others, and most importantly, with yourself.

I believe the therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is paramount in to healing, and I strive to make every client feel safe, secure, heard, and seen. I honor each person’s individual journey and always meet them where they are in the process. My therapeutic approach is one of openness, collaboration, and trust. I consider myself to be a compassionate, empathetic, and caring person and clinician.

Progress in life is a process. To move forward, sometimes you have to look back to see how much progress you have made, but you must also look ahead to see how much more progress remains. This process doesn't come without bumps and bruises. Young adults and student-athletes who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, and systematic oppression benefit the most from working individually with me to reach their goals.
