Teletherapy for 28801

As a former wilderness guide, and current Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I am dedicated to helping people take the difficult steps necessary to achieve meaningful change in their lives. I have experience working with a wide range of mental and chemical health challenges. My specialties include mood disorders, anxiety, self-esteem issues, navigating personal/professional changes, and recovery from addiction. I also have a great passion for supporting parents dealing with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and am certified through Postpartum Support International as a Perinatal Mental Health specialist.

Everything looks good on paper, but you’re still feeling stressed, anxious, and irritable. Maybe you struggle with perfectionism, procrastination, or imposter syndrome. Your relationships might suffer, or you don’t feel like your life is aligned with who you really are. At these times, we can lean too heavily on things (alcohol, “scrolling”, overworking) that temporarily help, but don’t get us where we’d like to be. I work with people who want to look more deeply inside to create lasting change in their lives and their relationship to themselves. I'm here to help you fulfill the potential you have for joy, connection, and success.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed - by relationships, big transitions, life. They want to become more fully aware of and confident in themselves, and long to find freedom from the patterns that hold them back in life. My attachment training and relational approach tends to draw folks who are looking for support around relationships with partners, family, friends, and themselves. Many of them identify as queer, non-monogamous, and/or neurodivergent. They usually share that our work together has helped them to feel more at home in their own skin and more confident in their own strength, beauty, and wisdom.

You give more attention to perceptions of those around you than towards your inner experience. You reject your sensitivity. It is hard to remain connected to and act for your needs. Enjoying rest and/or pleasure feels foreign. There may be rules for food that are stressful and you feel at war with your body. It is hard to to respond to your desires in an attuned and self caring way. Maybe your life doesn't feel aligned and meaningful like you want it to. Let's get on the path to living a life connected to yourself, finding freedom from things such as people pleasing, disordered eating, anxiety, and resistance to rest.

Looking for therapeutic counseling is the first step on your journey to a happier and healthier version of you. Part of that process is finding the right therapist. My goal is to hold a safe space, that is non-judgmental and a comfortable environment where you can be yourself. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, where you are the expert of your own life, and your goals are the focus. I want to work with you to overcome obstacles and issues that are interfering in your life

Together we can create a supportive, nurturing environment where you can explore your experiences, thoughts and emotions at your pace. My ultimate goal is to empower you to take steps towards fulfilment, healing, self acceptance and balance in your life. I prioritize empathy and active listening in sessions and help my clients establish personalized goals, always striving to foster a therapeutic relationship based on trust and genuine understanding. I believe in a holistic approach that considers the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing the interconnectedness of these in one's wellbeing.

Are you a woman struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-expression, or body-image concerns? You're not alone. Trying to fix everything you dislike about yourself can be draining. In my practice, I offer a supportive space where you can explore these challenges without judgment. You don't have to be perfect to take up space in this world. You deserve to feel safe and confident in your own skin. When we face ourselves with kindness and become the compassionate witness to our own stories, we lay the groundwork for profound transformation.

Clear, Resolve, Transform. I help clients discover and resolve subconscious causes for emotionaI and behavioral difficulties. The Subconscious controls emotions, desires, memory, habits, thoughts, dreams, and automatic responses. One may consciously understand the value of eliminating problematic emotions, thoughts or behaviors but unless the Subconscious Mind is reached, enduring change is unlikely. I address the underlying subconscious blocks to living a clear and free life. I have effectively treated sexual abuse, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, phobias, addictions and more. Issues are cleared, clients report being able to function with more energy and clarity. Relationships thrive and lives are transformed.

My clients are experiencing a range of concerns such as bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, sober curiosity and life transitions. I also work with couples struggling with communication, betrayals, disconnect, loneliness and conflict management. Whether you’re going through a break-up or stuck in relationship patterns that no longer serve you, I’m here to help you process and learn practical ways to thrive in relationships and better manage your mental health concerns.

I know personally how hard it can be to experience sexual/physical/emotional trauma/addiction/depression/grief/financial/relational ruin/overwhelming anxiety. Hoping to get through a day with the jaw clenching/palm sweating/handshakes/thoughts racing/heart pounding/doubting every idea/thought/emotion, asking will this be forever? Sometimes, you experience paralyzing nightmares or dreams that you are moving in slow motion and feel so alone and isolated when in a crowded room. Moreover, the constant dread (or the invisible weighted depression blanket). I get it; I've lived it and worked with many others who have.

Life is really rough right now in so many ways! We have never experienced anything like what we are experiencing right now. Life has been flipped upside down, anxiety is sky high, depression is increasing, relationships are suffering, and those with children are being forced to become homeschool teachers. The sense of balance in our lives has been thrown out. We feel stuck, depressed, anxious, and maybe even hopeless. It is really important to take care of yourself in this space and reach out for help, to talk things through, and figure out how to move forward in a positive direction. You don’t need to stay stuck in this space.

Hello and welcome! One thing that sets me apart from other therapists is my warm, friendly personality and the radical acceptance and love I have for my clients. Many clients report they're surprised at how easy it is to open up to me. Perhaps this is because I value you as a person and your inner wisdom above my own expertise. In therapy, I like to think of us as a team, working together to uncover parts of yourself you may have hidden away, discovering patterns that may have served you in the past but now hold you back, and trying out new ways of relating to strong emotions or showing up in the world. We're in this together.

It can be challenging to carry complicated feelings, thoughts and personal beliefs that come up for us throughout life without feeling weighed down or hindered. As a therapist, I work to meet you wherever you are in your journey, allowing those feelings and experiences to help shape your personal growth. Using individually tailored, person-centered therapy, I work to assist you in gaining insight, deepening your understanding of yourself, discovering and reviving your strengths and passions, and releasing beliefs and practices that no longer serve you.

Do you feel like you want to make a change in your life, but you just can't figure out how to get there? Like you're facing something that you just can't see a way past? I am here to help; to walk with you on the journey; to support the growth that you know you can achieve if you can just get started. We all hold the capacity to thrive in our lives. My goal in working with you is to meet you where you are, help you identify the root of your challenge, build resilience, and help you unearth your inner strength and wisdom, so you can emerge into your full self.

Do you find yourself going through an uncomfortable period of change? Or maybe you’re facing a need for change and feeling overwhelmed by it. Either way, you may be dealing with stress, grief, isolation, or addiction. Additional factors like discrimination burden, caregiving roles, and financial difficulty may make change seem impossible. It can feel safer to live with dissatisfaction than to risk losing the comfort of routine, but avoidance can allow unhappiness to snowball. This can happen at any age. Humans grow and change throughout our lives, which requires maintenance, flexibility, and willingness to tune in to our needs.

Turning points in life can bring up anxiety, fear of the unknown, and questioning yourself. The pressures of society, “should’s,” and patterns from childhood make it even more difficult to hear yourself. In this in-between, cocoon-like phase – in which you’re not who you were and not yet who you will become – doubt, worry, bad dreams, digestive issues, neck and jaw pain, and low back pain are a few of the symptoms that can arise. Simultaneously, transitions are opportunities to deepen trust in yourself and get to know your genuine self. Together, we will illuminate and empower your needs and desires for this next phase of your life.

Practicing in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Colorado, I work with adolescents and adults seeking a way towards brave and engaged living, working through challenges that get in the way. My belief is that at our core we are fearless, clear, and compassionate. In therapy we work together to identify what is blocking you from that core, and set about clearing the way for your authentic self to emerge. I have worked over 30 years in mental health, 25+ years as a licensed clinician. I also bring experience of training and supporting clinicians, most recently as the CEO of a wilderness therapy program.

You are so sick of feeling shame or worry about what others think. What you want is to feel more present and empowered in your life. Despite being career-driven, successful, and independent life is hard. Right now you may be experiencing insecurity, perfectionism, and self-doubt. You’re tired of going through the motions in life and want to connect with your truth and vitality. You need some guidance and aren’t sure where to start. You want to feel more authentic in your life, manage stress, and have better relationships.
