Therapists in Alamance County, NC

With a background in social work and clinical psychology, I have been providing mental health services for more than 20 years. I am trained in Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and various Trauma Specific practices and am experienced in providing therapy to individuals, couples and families. While I am able to see clients presenting with various concerns, my main areas of focus include anxiety, depression, chronic stress, trauma and dealing with life adjustments.

On the outside, it appears you have a great life, but deep down, something is missing. You may feel anxious, guilty, overwhelmed, resentful, exhausted, or empty. You often do not think you're "good enough." Despite your achievements, you expected life to be more fulfilling. You're not living the life you dreamed of and need help figuring out where to begin. You can make a change starting today. You deserve to live a fulfilled and authentic life. We help people like you discover self-care strategies, slow down and reconnect with themselves,

Stress, anxiety and other difficult emotions may be a normal part of life, but they don't have to be in the driver's seat on life's journey. Through my 25+ years of experience as a counselor and my personal experience of having to reclaim the driver's seat from debilitating anxiety/depression, I have learned the truth behind Marcel Proust's claim that "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes". It is my goal to help people gain new "eyes" through which to view current or past experiences.

When I think of counseling, I envision all kinds of people who need all different kinds of support. I strive to be able to provide as many kinds of support as needed for my clients. People might want to explore their past, develop coping skills, learn how to respond to a certain life issue, find a listening ear, or have any other goal that will help them live their best life. My goal as a counselor is to help as many people as I can by promoting their wellness, in whatever way that looks like for that person, in a culturally responsive manner. My clinical interests include grief/loss, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Life is hard. Intense emotions, life transitions, difficulty with relationships, mental health concerns, trauma, rejection and loneliness; are only a few of the things we can struggle with at any given time. But you don’t have to deal with these issues alone. Counseling can serve as a place for you to process past hurts and life changes, identify unhelpful relationship patterns, find new coping skills and resources for strong emotions or mental health issues, or provide yourself with the ultimate self-care by setting an hour aside to reflect on where you are, where you want to go, and what obstacles are in the way of your goals.

I am passionate about my work and believe in the healing benefits of psychotherapy. I view therapy as a process through which we explore the issues that confront you, place them in a context and develop strategies for change. Engaging in this process not only do we learn new ways of coping or getting "unstuck" but we also develop a more genuine relationship with ourselves, others and the world in general. I am authentic and direct but a considerate therapist who will work with you and assist in empowering you to move forward in meeting your goals with care, compassion and a sense of humor.

We are currently in very stressful times. In our work together, you will be preparing to navigate through difficult challenges. We will build up your resilience. Resilience allows us to accept the difficulty of the situation and bolsters our belief that we can grow into the people we need to be to meet the challenge. Whether you're a young adult headed for autonomy, a parent supporting a young person's growth, a couple embarking on a life together or needing to remember "why" you're a couple, or an individual ready to "rethink, re-orient, and re-evaluate", this is your opportunity to prepare for the journey.

Do you feel like you have to appear to have it all together when inside you are struggling? You may feel lonely and misunderstood. When you look in the mirror you may not recognize the person looking back at you. Going through the motions of everyday life feels exhausting. You’ve been running on autopilot and are headed toward burnout. Relationships may be harder to maintain as well as the relationship with yourself.

A renewed mind can change your life! Deciding to seek therapy can be life changing. Counseling should be an experience that allows you to think of your life and circumstances in a way that promotes positive changes. Choosing me as your counselor, I will be your partner dedicated to providing unconditional positive regard, and empathetic listening, to guide you on your journey of lasting change for a brighter, and happier future.

What’s stopping you from being free? Yes, I know, everything happens for a reason but how you grow from that anxiety, that depression, or family conflict you have and are experiencing is completely up to you. Now is the time to move from just existing to truly living. Sometimes in life, because of hardships that we face or people that we are connected to, we lose focus on being the best version of ourselves, but through therapy we can explore that process. I would love to be a part of your journey to total healing.
