Therapists in Robeson County, NC

You can grow and heal, despite what you've been through (think flowers blooming through concrete). You're going to feel so much better once you start digging the rot out and healing. I'm an expert at clearing trauma and anxiety, by rewiring your mind and regulating your nervous system. Not only does trauma get healed and processed, but when hard things come up you they feel easy to navigate and you do so with confidence + ease. I don't believe healing has to be hard or take forever, in fact I believe it can be light + fun. With me, you're gonna work but you're also going to laugh and learn to savor this one wild and precious life.

Life is full of challenges that generate varied degrees of stress, anxiety and depression, even substance abuse. Challenges may include: Personal and family relationships, finances, career, illness and loss of creative engagement with your self and the world. Psychotherapy can offer time and a special place for self discovery, reflection, revitalization, resilience, insight, empowerment and access to your creativity; creative expression and creative living. Our lives can be what we imagine and want them to be. We can develop our active imagination to envision a life of purpose, meaning and the joy we are meant to have.

I offer a judgment-free space for expression and provide an atmosphere that promotes safety, vulnerability, empowerment, and growth for clients. My primary goal is to utilize techniques that will best fit individual clients' needs and allow him/her/they to reach his/her/their goals successfully. I seek to invoke clients to internalize situations in a healthy context and provide an environment conducive to encouraging self-awareness, self-reflection, self-regulation, and self-correction. I believe every client is unique and requires an individualized approach; in doing so, establishing rapport is essential to the work we do together.

My ideal clients are everyday people in which something has surfaced in their lives, usually from the past, and now is the time for you to deal with it. This surface could be from past trauma, unforgiveness, or simply the need for change. Some struggle with low self-esteem, identity formation, or a lack of trust in establishing relationships. So, surround yourself with folks that fill your cup, and I will assist you in identifying aspects of your life that you would like to change, or better understand. We set goals, roll up our sleeves and work toward desired outcomes. Sessions are 1 hour (individual), or 1 hour/20 min. (couples).

I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples. Compassion, warmth, and objectivity are what I offer to everyone that walks into my practice, physically or virtually. Clients are accepted for who they are while receiving encouragement to become self-aware, grow and thrive within their communities. My goal is to create a safe space for reviving the soul (mind, will, and emotions); rebuilding weakened and destroyed personal, family and social foundations; (revealing) putting into proper perspective life's challenges and using them effectively to advance, bringing about restoration of the total being.

My extensive experience includes working with service members/veterans and their families as well as children ages birth-five and their families. I enjoy working with adults with infertility issues and women or men who have experienced sexual trauma. I also work with adolescents who have different mental health challenges. My desire is to help you and your family learn how to express who you are and to experience growth. I hope to help you and your family with developing good intuition, creating healthy connections, and becoming more of your authentic self (selves). I want you to experience more joy and peace within your life.

Knowing suffering and struggle are common to all, I strive to provide hope and direction for people as they face real-world challenges. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, and emotional instability, as well as concerns with unhealthy/low self-concept, anger/frustration, relational challenges, life transitions, grief/loss, and spiritual concerns may feel overwhelming. Acknowledging the need for help is a sign of strength and is a step toward a preferred future.
