Therapists in North Carolina

Welcome. I have learned that no one theory works for everyone. By utilizing different therapeutic approaches I help you achieve practical and lasting results. Together we can make the necessary connections in order for you to achieve a greater self-understanding. This understanding is not focused on good or bad, right or wrong but on the underlying reasons and beliefs that motivate your behavior. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the current challenges in your life.

Over 13 years of practice. Working with people is a privilege & a humbling experience. I work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, couples, and families. I concentrate on clients' strengths, and addressing dysfunctional thinking and behaviors that creates mental unrest. A great percentage of our happiness is felt in response to having healthy relationships. When we experience distress in relationships with others we feel a sense of betrayal and loss. In therapy, you will learn to identify and regulate feelings to communicate your needs in a non-defensive manner. It is my privilege to walk that journey with you.

I am convinced that everyone possesses the ability to live their life to its fullest potential. As your counselor, my role is to help awaken you to this dormant power within.

Video on Website Link - not currently accepting new clients- I believe life should be a lot easier then it is. We all get pushed past our limits that challenge who we think we are. The pressure changes us into different people. How do we get past reacting to life and get on to living life intentionally? The answer is not easy, because there are many factors that fracture our attention, steal our resources, and prevent progress. My job is to help change these factors to set you up for success and aid in defining what success means for you.
