Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in 29209

Stressed out? Overwhelmed? Wondering how to find your way back to a life you enjoy living instead of just going through the motions? As adult women we tend to take on too much and put everyone and everything before ourselves. We often feel depleted and want life to be different, but we keep doing the same thing. As a college student, stress and unhealthy relationships become your norm. As a teenager, insecurities, stress, and social media put you on a path filled with anxiety, depression, and self doubt. I'd like to help you get back on track, find some inner peace amidst all the chaos, and have fun along the way.

I know that for many people the hardest part of therapy is picking up the phone to ask for help, I want to thank you for taking that first step. Choosing the right person to help is a very individual process, and time after time the best predictor of successful counseling or therapy has been shown to be the quality of the relationship between the therapist and the client. If you feel confident that my training, approach to therapy, and personality are the right match for you, we will discuss our options regarding treatment.

My goal is to provide you with a safe place to work through and eventually overcome the difficulties, large or small, you are currently experiencing. You will never hear me say "I know exactly how you feel," or many other 'classic' therapists' lines. The fact is, anyone who tells you this is not being totally honest. However, this realization is what leads to what I believe is one of the most beneficial aspects of our therapeutic journey; teaching you to help yourself.

My focus is on helping you and/or your family reach your goals and helping you see obstacles as stepping stones that can be conquered. My approach to therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors. If your life is not going the way you want it to or you are going through a particularly stressful situation, please contact me. I am ready, willing and able to help you.

I believe each client is unique and different and should be exposed to a powerful individual experience in the therapeutic process. Every client possesses strengths and abilities and as a therapist I assist them in identifying and implementing their strengths and abilities to help transcend positive healthy balance and change within in lives. As a LPCS that specializes in substance abuse, dual diagnosis, and depression. I utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach individuals how to recognize moods, thoughts, and situations that stimulate unwanted emotions.

I believe it is never to late to be who you want to be. Change isn't always easy, but it can be necessary if we feel as though we aren't living fully, as life was intended. I strive to build an authentic, trusting, and connected therapeutic relationship as we work toward your goals. I encourage clients to adopt an attitude of openness and curiosity toward their experience with the aim of helping to develop greater self-compassion and self-acceptance. Both of which are important for emotional health and life satisfaction.
