Do you feel responsible for taking care of everyone else, but have little time or energy left to care for yourself? Is it hard to even identify what you need, much less ask for it? Did you grow up in chaos and now have some healing to do? Do you struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, control, or taking on too much? You are not alone and you don't have to deal with it alone. I specialize in helping teens and adults who struggle with setting boundaries, speaking up, coping with anxiety/panic, nightmares, dissociation, angry outbursts, and the need to always feel in control.
I'm a holistic psychotherapist (LCSW) treating clients in NC. My unique flavor of therapy incorporates nervous system regulation, play, EMDR, trauma processing, self-compassion, parts work, and lots of humor, as I guide clients in reclaiming their gifts and owning their strengths.
My clients often report a significant increase in their self-confidence, self-acceptance, and ability to set healthy boundaries after working together. If you think you might benefit from this type of therapy, call or email me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consult. I look forward to connecting.
