Teletherapy for 28801

Do you know the real you? Are you acting based on who you've been told you should be? Truly knowing and loving yourself is especially challenging for women. We are pressured to fulfill many roles, our decisions are subjected to higher scrutiny, and our right to autonomy is not always in our own hands (e.g., abortion, reproductive rights). In trying to navigate all these moving pieces, we are often overcome by stress, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, frustrated, disonnected and inadequate. With all the noise, it becomes difficult to connect with the most important relationship in our lives—the one with ourselves.

I work with individuals, families and couples. My therapeutic approach blends attachment, nervous system, trauma and family systems. For over 25 years I have worked with families, young adults, adolescents and older adults in a variety of settings. I enjoy exploring the layers and complexities of emotional/psychological experiences with the goal of discovering and resolving ruptures and wounds that have contributed to current functioning.

Do you feel stuck, lost or overwhelmed? Perhaps you feel like you have to invest so much energy but still feel unfulfilled and empty. Do you struggle with intense worry, self doubt or shame? You might not know where these feelings come from, what you are needing or perhaps, you are in a painful situation, relationship or job. You might struggle with chronic illness and have the added stress of navigating your physical health when you already feel drained. Perhaps you are deeply impacted by past wounds or trauma. It is possible to feel better and it's possible to have healthy relationships both with yourself and others.

Life is full of many types of suffering, some of which strike in the most unexpected of moments. Kurt Vonnegut wrote that "we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is," and I pledge to work with my clients to shift our relationship with our own suffering. I want to both reduce the weight of one's inner problematic experiences and to create more distance and more balance with how they are experienced.

As a maternal-infant mental health psychologist, I'm a pioneer of healing and advocacy for instances of birth and death trauma. It's not within my power to erase your grief, but I can accompany you, offering you the support needed to navigate your way toward healing. There's no 'right' path for personal growth; it's all about what suits you best. My role is to assist you in finding your equilibrium and determining your journey's pace to achieve balance.

Life is challenging, sometimes it can feel like we aren’t made for the pace that is asked of us in today’s world. The result can feel like disconnect, overwhelm, or even depression and anxiety. Therapy can help. It is clear to me in my work, and in my own life, that once we start paying attention to our pain, we can do something about it. Having a guide in that process can make it simpler and more effective. Everyone is unique and as individuals what we need can take time to uncover and incorporate into our daily lives.

At Your Next Chapter Counseling, we believe that every person is deserving of love, acceptance, and authenticity. We believe that humans are hardwired for healing, and we strive to provide a therapeutic, supportive environment for all of our clients on their healing journey.

Life can be full of obstacles and one wants to ensure that we do not stand in our own way of success. Are you tired of your own thoughts, moods, and behaviors stressing you out, making you depressed, increasing your anxiety, making you easily angered, and/or disturbing your sleep? If so, I would love to partner with you on your journey to overcoming these patterns that tend to be direct obstacles in feeling your best and reaching your absolute potential.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counseling Associate who strives to create a space of trust and safety in which clients can heal, progress, and develop self-compassion. I have experience helping clients with a broad range of presenting concerns, with an educational focus on trauma. I cater my therapeutic techniques to each individual client's needs, drawing most heavily from Person-Centered (approaching clients as equal collaborators, with empathy and non-judgement), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (focusing on thought patterns), and Gestalt Therapy (focusing on emotional and somatic experiences).

Life is a funny thing. And often terribly complicated. During our journey in this world, we often face challenges that can feel too big or ongoing. Whether it’s with chronic feelings of anxiousness, depression, emptiness, issues about sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, relationship conflict, sleep disturbances, substance misuse, school or work issues, or any combination of those, many of us struggle silently. But you don't have to. It can help to work with a therapist with a deep understanding of what it’s like with some of those struggles and who is passionate about helping others learn to thrive despite these adversities.

My calling is to journey alongside women that have experienced abuse, domestic violence, addiction or other painful experiences and watch them come into their own power and regain trust and confidence in becoming their most resilient and authentic selves. Your anxious feelings of the unknown and depressing feelings of past experiences have been hurdles for you to climb as you maneuver your way from surviving to thriving in life. You’ve felt a loss of hope for your future. Perhaps you’ve experienced a glimmer of hope from time to time and know it exists, but struggle to hang on for fear of falling.

If you're seeking support during a period of significant life changes, interpersonal distress, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, or feeling lost without a sense of purpose, you've come to the right place. I specialize in empowering individuals like you with the skills to navigate these complexities and uncover your inner strength. I believe that the battles we face in life can become the catalysts for transformative growth and heightened happiness. By reframing our perspectives and utilizing the right tools, we can embark on a profound journey of self-discovery leading to a deeper understanding of ourselves and what truly matters.

My work primarily focuses on anxiety related issues especially when going through a transition (break-up, career change, medical diagnosis). I work a lot with people as they adjust to life living on their own, navigating careers, and relationships. Much of the session will be focused on calming your flight or flight reaction so you can be in a better place to make decisions, set goals and respond to whatever life throws at you. I provide video and face to face sessions.

Maybe you are dealing with the effects of painful or traumatic experiences in the past, or a loss, or have anxiety you can't shake off. You might feel out-of-place and lonely. You want to feel accepted and understood, to find relief from what feels overwhelming, to trust yourself more. Reaching out to a therapist can feel scary, or pointless – it can’t "fix" whatever already happened – but it can help you to have a future where you feel connected and confident.

You've tried everything and your child is still scared or angry and think they can't change. I work with children ages 3-13 to feel better and get along. They're not to blame for what's happened in their lives but do need to take responsibility for their actions. I support kids in not feeling broken or thinking they are "bad". I use play, art projects and stories to help them express feelings. I teach them skills to understand and manage their feelings and teach them to share their feelings to get support and feel safe.
