Jewish Therapists in Havelock, NC

I believe that an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and empathy is at the core of any healing process. Within this context, I provide guidance in uncovering patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that lie at the root of present day difficulties. Often, issues from the past, continue to have a direct effect on current feelings and circumstances. For others, the primary reason for seeking counseling may be related to a major life change or transition.

The most helpful psychotherapy is a collaborative respectful relationship that honors your innate healing abilities. I will create a safe space for you to explore situations that are currently hindering you from living the life you desire. These might include past or recent traumatic experiences, behaviors that feel compulsive and/or harmful, life transitions, societal pressures, or the desire to "have it all together." Sometimes we seek relief in the wrong places which leaves us emotionally burnt out and seeking answers externally when the key to change is within.

I am an eclectic therapist, using best practice, evidence-based interventions; such as but not limited to CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, spiritual connection, and experiential art exercises. The underpinning of my approach is authentic person centered, conversational talk therapy. I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach. Purpose and meaning and how we get there is different for everyone.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), licensed in North Carolina, Maryland, and Florida, with a PhD in Social Work, specializing in working with folks coping with grief, trauma, depression and anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I believe therapy is a process that is empowered by the relationship between therapist and client, working together in a supportive environment. My goal for my clients is that they gain insight and tools to enable them to make choices and changes to improve their lives. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based.

Do you ever feel like you are putting on a happy face to get through the day, only to come home, emotionally drained, and just tired of faking it? Are you ready to take the next step but have spent so long feeling like a burden that speaking about your problems seems almost impossible? Starting therapy can be frightening and, for a lot of us, talking about our feelings doesn’t come easy. That's ok. (Seriously!) I want you to know that it's normal to feel nervous at first and that it is worth it to get your life back. Together, we will work towards helping you live a better life - however that may be defined for you.
