Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Moyock, NC

Specializing in complex trauma and chronic childhood traumatization, I am a Emdria Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, and teach EMDR nationally with the EMDR Institute as a Facilitator. EMDR is the top choice of the World Health Organization for trauma, given both research validation, and EMDR's ability to heal without clients re-living or speaking excessively about terrible events. Integration of other methods such as Ego State Therapy enables me to treat the complex trauma spectrum, from CPTSD to dissociative disorders. Many treatment-resistant or confusing symptoms are the result of complex trauma. I treat all ages.

Rapport building and establishing a warm therapeutic environment that allows my client to feel comfortable to fully express their concerns and issues is crucial. Once trust is established a person-centered plan that accesses limitations and barriers to personal growth and progress will be established. The purpose of this relationship is to inspire and motivate you to function in your full potential. Each session will identify crucial points of your choice for personal empowerment that will equip you with insight for desired liberation.

Many of us go through periods in life where things feel heavy and seem uncertain. We are capable of much more than we believe especially when we feel off. Mental health symptoms can alter our perception and understanding of ourselves, others, and the world. I understand that meeting with a stranger to talk about life can feel uncomfortable. I strive to build a welcoming therapeutic space for clients of all ages.

You’re exhausted from trying desperately to balance your needs with the demands of kids, school, or work. As a parent you’re struggling to understand where your child is coming from. Does the “parent guilt” creep in while you’re trying to keep all the plates spinning? Maybe you have a child who is anxious, worried, has difficulty sleeping or going to school, or expects perfection. Perhaps you are learning how to parent differently than how you were parented. Balancing caring for you vs. others is hard. Thoughts of anxiety, self-doubt, and concern that you aren't good enough can become a negative self-talk loop in your head.

I specialize in providing compassionate and evidence-based therapeutic support to individuals of all ages, with a particular focus on children, adolescents, and adults navigating complex mental health challenges. My clients are often someone who is seeking guidance and support in overcoming trauma, building resilience, and enhancing their overall well-being. Whether they are struggling with trauma-related issues, oppositional behavior, substance use, low self-esteem, or navigating the foster care system, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

As a potential client, know that your courage to face personal vulnerabilities and uncertainties is acknowledged from the start. To realize and understand the efforts you've made already affords us early opportunities to consider possibilities in therapy. Your desired outcome is the goal. The process of sharing, reflecting, and adjusting any internal and relational patterns is our therapy means to this end. The clinical approaches perhaps most reflective in therapy are cognitive-behavioral, inter-personal and family systems, and acceptance/commitment. Interventions are based on your child/family, couple, and individual needs.

Do you experience depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship challenges, or trauma? Do you tend to feel lonely, hopeless, sad, angry, empty, tense, or stuck?

Together, we'll work on rewiring your brain to no longer perceive everyday situations as scary and dangerous. I specialize in reducing intrusive thoughts and teaching effective skills to manage symptoms leading to a sense of safety.

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.

For children and adolescents grappling with trauma and anxiety, my goal is to provide a sanctuary where they feel understood, validated, and empowered to heal. Together, we work towards fostering emotional regulation, restoring a sense of safety, and reclaiming joy in their lives. For parents and guardians, my goal is to partner with you and provide opportunities to build and grow your relationship with your child. For adults and children who are drawn to spiritual growth in Christianity, I enjoy helping adults meet those goals through talk therapy.
