Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Mount Gilead, NC

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive experience that meets the needs you bring with you into this space. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (in NC, SC, & CA) specializing in trauma, anxiety & depression, and chemical dependency – and in the places where these often intersect. I use a goal-directed approach to therapy, because I want you to feel like your investment is creating tangible results. (And if you’re not sure what your goals are, I am here to help discern them with you). This typically involves a combination of evidence-based treatment, supportive counseling, and foundational cognitive/behavioral skills.

Accepting new clients. Maybe you have reached a point where it feels like stress, anxiety, trauma, and/or depression have hijacked your life and you are ready to reclaim it.

Mental Health Transformation focuses on helping you find ways to decrease your symptoms with modalities that include, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness, Family Systems Therapy, Couple Therapy, and Grief Therapy.

Even in the middle of trauma, heartbreak, and uncertainty, still you can find joy. Even Still was born out of my deeply held belief that following the toughest moments of life, a comma lingers. A comma that signals the story is not over and there is light to be found in the darkness. Consistent with the writings of psychologist Carl Rogers, I believe in the resilience of humanity. As a psychologist, it is my responsibility and deepest pleasure to be your guide in self-discovery and healing. I believe that by being genuine, empathic, and providing unconditional warmth and acceptance, I can create space for vulnerability and growth.

I offer a flexible approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based treatments while taking into account your unique needs and preferences.

Thanks for showing up here. By doing the work to even navigate to this page, you are taking a huge step for yourself. We all have thoughts, feelings, & behaviors that keep us stuck in patterns that don’t always serve us or our loved ones well. The great news is that these patterns are learned from a variety of experiences, meaning they can also be un-learned with concentrated effort and a willingness to change. Therapy can be a liberating space where those patterns are examined and new perspectives that better serve us are developed over time. This work requires immense vulnerability, but this is often not a starting point.
