Reality Therapy in Matthews, NC

The ups, downs, and turnarounds of life can be challenging, especially when we're trying to wear a number of hats. As a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor with a lot of experiences wearing different hats, I know that sometimes challenges can become overwhelming. Feelings of depression, anger and extreme anxiety and worry can cause us to question our purpose for being. If you're at that place in your life, I can help. One of my life's goals is to empower, encourage, and inspire people who are struggling to make sense of life.

I believe in a person-centered and holistic approach to therapy, honoring your unique background, beliefs, and strengths. My approach pulls from many evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and mindfulness. My aim is to help you be more effective in regulating your emotions, coping with difficult situations, focusing on the moment, and ultimately living the life that you want. I enjoy working with teens and adults who have issues related to anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, substance or behavior addictions, and setting boundaries.

Family can be a source of joy and strength but can also be chaotic and overwhelming at times.

Do you often feel stressed and anxious? I enjoy helping women grow in freedom from anxiety, feeling isolated & overwhelmed in their personal &/or professional lives. I know from working with clients, they want peace of mind, to experience healthy relationships, feel fulfilled in who they are and lead lives of impact. Yet, sometimes we wonder after experiencing ongoing circumstances of disappointment and undue stress, where that woman went or how to find her again...Day to day reality, especially through significant times of change, can be overwhelming, resulting in feeling weighed down by much to do’s and a drive to keep performing.
