Therapists in Aberdeen, NC

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and offer counseling to adults, adolescents and couples. I see my work as a collaborative process that maintains focus on your goals, strengths, stage of life as well as hopes for the future. I use a relational, eco-system focus and work to highlight our interconnected nature. I believe that crisis and struggle can provide an opportunity for our innate capacity to heal to come alive. In the therapeutic process I will offer you guidance, and a safe and secure base to undo aloneness and use emotion and attachment as a basis for exploration.

My journey to becoming a therapist started in an art room. I attended NCSU's College of Design, which led to teaching high school art for several years. Teaching allowed me to find my calling as a therapist and consultant. I graduated from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Social work in 2008, and have since pursued Certifications in Addictions, Self-Compassion, & the work of Dr. Brené Brown. I also have specific training in Emotionally Focused Individual and Family Therapy which is based on attachment theory as well as AEDP, an experiential therapy model that helps heal trauma through corrective emotional experiences.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families on a range of things, from family and relationship issues to life transitions, depression and anxiety, grief, larger existential questions, and other things. A particular focus is helping people in crisis manage and make meaning from difficulties. My approach to therapy is supportive, relational, and client-centered, with a focus on how things manifest themselves in the here and now. More than anything, I try to create a safe space for tuning in to feelings, finding balance, healing, and working on change.

I am a licensed psychologist and my approach with clients is collaborative and warm. I build a relationship with clients to help them gain insights into their struggles and ultimately grow from the experience. I specialize in psychotherapy with young adults and adults struggling with perinatal mental health issues, infertility, perinatal loss and grief, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also work with many people struggling with transitions and identity issues.

Adults I work with are interested in setting boundaries, overcoming negative thought patterns, processing a loss, enhancing personal relationships and learning how to live intentionally rather than just checking boxes. I currently only have evening and weekend availability.

Living the life you dream of isn't always an obvious or straightforward path. Family of origin, divorce, unexpected loss, trauma, addiction... circumstances that interfere with a happy, successful life. Sometimes the help of a caring professional can mean the difference between being stuck and moving ahead. Thanks for visiting my site. I'm an experienced mental health and addictions therapist, working with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, substance dependence and other addictions. I'm also credentialed by the NCSAPPB as a Certified Clinical Supervisor to offer clinical supervision for other therapists.

I am licensed clinical psychologist and yoga teacher. I work with adults who are dealing with stressors or going through transitions. I have expertise in working with individuals who have experienced childhood and adult trauma and specialize in somatically-integrative care. I believe that each person is inherently resilient. I see therapy as a tool to help you discover your resilience, change unhelpful habits, heal wounds and grow into your potential. I think a strong therapeutic relationship is necessary for effective psychotherapy. I work in a client-centered way, collaborating with you on an individualized treatment plan.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I hope you find it helpful. Choosing the 'right' therapist for you is so important and my goal is to provide you with a safe place to share and navigate whatever is on your mind. Life can be challenging and deeply painful and sometimes it throws us curve balls. We may find ourselves in unexpected places - places where we may feel vulnerable, confused and alone. Meaningful human connection is at the heart of emotional well being. I will work with you in a non-judgmental, compassionate, and transparent way to create a trusting and meaningful theraputic relationship .

Welcome! I am a therapist providing virtual only sessions. I specialize in depression, anxiety disorders (including social phobia), pregnancy, and postpartum. I have experience in community-based mental health as well as school and government-based agencies. I work best with people who want to take an active role in building the life they want, figuring out the person they want to be and how we can build on all of their innate strengths to live a rich and meaningful life, even in the face of disappointment, loss, frustration, and pain.

As your therapist, I will provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and empathic setting for you to share about your current situation; explore early life experiences; gain a helpful understanding of your emotional world; and why you think and act in particular, problematic patterns. Many, if not all, of our emotional burdens (anxiety, people-pleasing, lying, codependency, lack of coping skills, mistrust of authority, hypersensitivity, defensiveness, an underdeveloped sense of self, parenting struggles, relationship issues) are the result of earlier wounds that infuse within us lasting well into adulthood.

Do you feel inundated with self-critical thoughts, or perhaps you experience a sense of emptiness and separateness? Are you unfulfilled with the relationships in your life, or wish you had more connections? Sometimes all the time we spend thinking and doing makes us miss important messages from our body about what we are feeling and needing. We then feel confused, anxious, or distracted. Unfortunately, we often learn from an early age to ignore our feelings and our bodies, which leads us to feel a lingering sense of shame, disconnection from others, and even physical pain and illness.

I work best with adult individuals and couples who wish to address any of the following: anxiety; mind-body issues like IBS, chronic pain, back pain, etc; stress and trauma; relationship difficulties, life transitions, cultural differences, or spiritual issues; and depression. Therapy is individualized, determined by each client's personal needs, interests, and goals. My aim is to support and guide each person through his or her own unique journey towards greater health, wellness, wholeness, peace, satisfaction, and fulfillment. My work is guided by a holistic, mindfulness-based approach, resulting in gradual yet sustainable change.

Feeling lost, anxious, and ambivalent about what comes next? Being human can be difficult, and seeking support, even more so. Let me help. I am passionate, engaged, and creative in my dedication to assisting others in meeting the internal and external challenges that sometimes prevent us from living a rich and fulfilling life. Using integrative and contemporary theories of attachment, interpersonal neurobiology, and trauma, we will explore and process unexpressed emotional experiences and disruptive patterns, allowing you to find equanimity and peace while cultivating meaning, purpose, and self-compassion.

Loneliness is the worst. Isolation shows up in many forms, including shame, stress, mistrust, and unproductive conflict. People grow and heal in the context of secure relationships, and I aim to help clients create and sustain them. It's my pleasure to work with couples, partnerships and individuals who are experiencing distress, coping with trauma, or struggling with identity development.

Do you struggle to get your needs met in your relationships? Perhaps you try repeatedly and fail to achieve harmony? I have a special interest in working with individuals experiencing unhappiness in their important relationships. When my clients first come in, they may feel they are doing the heavy lifting and hope that things will change. Their relationship dissatisfaction gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the person they strive to be according to their values. They feel like they are failing as a partner and in life. Greater self-confidence and fulfillment are attainable.

My approach is one of collaboration, curiosity, humor and warmth, using an anti-oppression framework. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I bring empathy, skill and understanding with how to carefully engage and shift the effects of stress, grief, anxiety, depression and past traumas. Navigating relationships, identity questions and adjusting to life transitions is a significant part of this work. I welcome working with clients from all cultural, class, ethnic, racial and religious backgrounds; abilities; gender identities; and sexual orientations.
