Therapists in Oxford, NC

Is life stressing you out? I don't just help my clients develop skills to manage stress effectively but also work through and heal from what is the underlying causes to stress in their life. I am unlike most therapist because I am highly trained in different somatic approaches including Somatic Experiencing, where I incorporate my exceptional level of knowledge in neuroscience to therapy sessions. I am able to explain to you how your nervous system and brain functions when under physically and emotional stress, how this impacts your mental health, and how to heal from this in therapy.

As a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker, I earned my MSW from Smith College School for Social Work in Northampton, MA. My professional background includes training at Duke University, Duke University Medical Center, and my work with children, teens, adults and families through the NC community mental health system. I have served as field supervisor for MSW interns from the UNC School of Social Work and as clinical supervisor for Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associates. My focus includes anxiety, depression, grief and loss, managing stress and life transitions, relationship difficulties, and supporting greater awareness and functioning. Thanks for considering me.

If you are a high-functioning professional navigating anxiety, life transitions, career stress, faulty coping mechanisms, or relationship challenges- you're in the right place. Serving North Carolina and Texas, I offer individual therapy for adults, group therapy, intensives, and workshops. My clients are typically achieving some level of success externally, but dealing with internal struggles other people may not be aware of. I'm passionate about making space for those silent internal challenges and helping my clients move towards a satisfying, meaningful existence.

My interactions with clients are grounded in compassion, respect, empathy, and an understanding of cultural impacts. I consider the role of a therapist as helping to educate and empower clients so that they develop the insight and skills necessary to overcome their own personal and situational challenges. Many of my clients are dealing with transitions or difficult life events. My approach is gentle, supportive, inclusive, highly informed and effective.

Accepting GA, NC, & SC clients. Individually, interpersonally and globally, we are living in the most challenging of times. The stress is high. The anxiety is overwhelming. The advice is inconsistent. You may be grieving an unbearable loss. Your most valued relationships might feel strained. You need a soft place to land...a place to talk...a place to process life...a place to sort through your emotions and thoughts and choices...and someone who understands how important your Christian faith is to you. We all need a little extra help and support now and then. And there's no shame in that! Sometimes you just need to clear your head.

Are you finding your relationships challenging to navigate? Not knowing how to say what you need and want to say? Or, you may be struggling to break addictive patterns and feeling desperate for change.

The individuals I work with are psychologically healthy and can learn to think and decide for themselves. Due to stress, grief, anger ,anxiety,fear etc. they may need the aid of someone to guide them toward making positive change in their lives or setting goals for a new direction in life .I enjoy serving a diverse group of people , however specialties include working with women issues such as single parents, domestic violence, and animal assisted therapy.

Now Accepting New Clients! Tell me what’s going on. I am here for you. I understand that you may be going through a lot right now, and may be feeling overwhelmed, depressed, stressed, or anxious, but that is why I am here to help you. I enjoy working with those in all stages of their career life whether they are just getting started, in the middle, or in retirement. My practice areas include: Trauma and emotional safety, relationship and communication, self-esteem and shame, life and career transitions, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, stress and time management, emotional wellbeing and mindfulness.

My goal as a psychologist is to increase self-awareness and create positive change in a nonjudgmental environment. Psychotherapy can relieve emotional distress, improve one's quality of life, help process painful events and increase self-awareness. Unfortunately many people are conflicted about the decision to get help and may see psychotherapy as a sign of weakness. It has been my experience that people who are unhappy for whatever reason and choose to go to psychotherapy are being assertive, healthy, and courageous in the handling of their problems.

While there are many reasons to seek therapy, often an underlying theme is that the strategies we have developed and relied on over time to deal with life's challenges are no longer working as effectively as might be needed. It is my belief, and has been my experience, that by understanding how we have adapted to the forces that shape our lives (both within and around us), and by changing the ways we relate to and experience these forces, we can create opportunities to strengthen valued skills or learn new ones, improve our ability to respond to and manage stress, and move with intention toward desired goals and outcomes.
