Hello there, and welcome! I am glad you are here. My focus as a clinician revolves around aiding clients, particularly couples and families, in finding new ways of understanding and interacting with themselves and others. Our collaborative goals are often to shift relationships and experiences from tumultuous, discomforting, or distressing into ones that are safe, secure, and fulfilling. I have received extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which is a therapeutic modality grounded in grounded in the importance of having secure connections, or attachments, towards ourselves and others.

So, you want to know a little bit about me, I suppose. You can share your story with me later! One question I get asked a lot is how and why I chose this career. Here's the backstory: I knew that I wanted to be a therapist as a young child, but as it sometimes happens, life had an alternate plan for me and took a slightly different course for a while. Yes, I am also a person that had to take the long way to get to my dream of supporting people on their journey.

A colleague once told me that sometimes you just have to validate your client by saying "life sucks". Hi, welcome, I am happy you are here! I have been working in the field of mental health for over 20 years. My experience includes a variety of work settings, including community mental health, school guidance, contract mental health and private practice. Along with my psychiatric facility dog RUPP, I use an integrated, person-centered approach to therapy that first establishes therapeutic rapport to determine goals and objectives.

You already have the skills you need. We can work together to identify your strengths and capitalize on them.

Hi, I am glad that you are here. Reaching out to a professional takes a great deal of courage and inner strength. I take great ownership within the foundation that I have been able to build within myself that has allowed me to have a keen sense and awareness within the therapy space. In our therapy sessions, one will often hear me talk about ‘the core,’ what is one’s core searching for, healing from, running away from, hiding from. My passion is to work and walk with you through what’s actually going on in your life to help you rebuild confidence, find hope, and restore a greater connection with who you really are.

Life changes in the blink of an eye. It can be overwhelming and stressful, resulting in feelings of anxiety, depression and the inability to cope. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing support and guidance through life challenges. In addition, I am a Certified Grief Counseling Specialist (CGCS). I am also licensed in SC for Telehealth clients (SC- 7982). The road to heal can be found within you. A therapist may help to bring out the best in you, when you are unable to bring out the best in yourself.

I believe in the inherent ability of a person to heal and make changes that will help establish a full and meaningful life experience. It is often the messages we learn subtly and hold onto, about what our experiences mean, about ourselves and the world around us, that inhibit this natural process of self acceptance and positive growth. As part of the therapeutic relationship, my hope is to provide a supportive space, and a sense of unconditional positive regard, for one to explore the conflicts that keep us "stuck" today.

Taking care of ourselves physically, emotionally and socially is my top priority. I've been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2004, helping my clients throughout all stages of their life. The essence of my work is to facilitate self-growth by helping you identify the core challenges and setbacks in your life, so that you can overcome them with confidence. I specialize in creating personalized plans and providing tools to guide you forward and achieve your desired goals. I have earned certificates in Applied Behavioral Analysis, Health Psychology and Nutritional Psychology.

I believe the foundation of healing and recovery begins with a strong therapeutic relationship where a safe environment can be a gateway to transformation and reaching one's full potential. I have a passion for instilling hope and assisting clients to recognize their strengths as I walk alongside of them in their journey towards healing. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I believe there are many facets to healing and I take a holistic approach where mind, body and spirit align, which can foster lasting healing.

I believe that all people are capable of making changes in their lives, and to be invited into that process as a therapist is an honor for me. My philosophy is that therapy is a partnership that is rooted in trust. My job is not to give advice, but to help you in exploring and finding the answers that are already intrinsically within you. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, including substance abuse treatment facilities, as a behavioral health consultant at a primary care practice, and as the program director for an integrated dual diagnosis program.

If you are experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, trouble with life transitions, or relationship challenges, I would be honored to help. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process in which we establish goals and implement strategies to achieve them together. Evidence-based techniques are utilized, and I strive to provide feedback in each session and reflections to offer perspective. Empathy, respect, and patience are the foundations of the treatment modalities I implement. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental and trusting atmosphere to facilitate therapeutic growth.

At some point in our lives, we all experience pain or illness. So, what happens when pain or illness becomes a defining point in our lives? We may not do the things we used to do, we may not feel like ourselves, we may not live our lives the way we thought we would. BALANCE Integrative Care, PLLC, recognizes how broadly and deeply pain or illness may affect our lives. Our services support people to manage or cope with pain or illness in a way that allows them to live their lives more fully.

I can help if you desire personal growth and change. Therapy can be very helpful if you are experiencing emotional distress, anxiety and/or panic attacks, excessive worry, depression, difficulty with life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues or concerns about addiction in your life or that of someone you love.

Are you feeling stuck, frustrated, or disconnected? Has something in your life become unmanageable? You've probably tried talking with your family and friends, only to feel more frustrated and confused. Thinking about the future is hard because you feel discouraged. You are stuck in a routine that is holding you in place. You have probably noticed that your relationships are suffering because you feel disconnected; you do not have the same eagerness to connect with your loved ones because you are using all your energy to make it through the days. The things you used to enjoy are a distant memory.
