Therapists in Davidson, NC

Helping people navigate life's challenges is my passion. I believe in relationships, and enjoy working with clients to help them develop healthier connections within themselves, with friends and family, and with society. I also take a particular interest in teaching clients coping skills to manage their distress, including mindfulness and yoga. I am experienced in guiding individuals, couples, and families through relationship challenges, grieving difficulties, life transitions/divorce, substance abuse, and trauma. I'm able to connect compassionately with resistant adolescents and teach their parents more effective ways to understand and support them through those often tumultuous years.

I am so glad you are stopping by to explore how my therapy services might serve you. It can be so hard to reach out for help, and equally hard to find the "right fit" for therapy. I commend your courage in seeking the services that fit you best! I work primarily with those healing from trauma, shame, and self doubt that is impacting their relationships with themselves and others using EMDR & Equine Assisted Therapy. My goal is to help you holistically heal from trauma, reframe your beliefs surrounding yourself and the world around you, improve your overall mood and coping skills, and find a more balanced and effective sense of self.

My passion is to see people experience the healing, transformation and restoration that they desire and deserve. I understand that by the time most individuals seek counseling they are feeling desperate and stuck. My goal is to meet you with empathy, genuineness and understanding while assisting you in realizing your strengths and the resources needed to achieve your desired therapeutic goals. I offer validation and perspective while encouraging your self-awareness. No feeling is final and present pain can become a catalyst for transformation and growth.

I have worked in a variety of settings: prison, inpatient, day treatment, outpatient and private practice. These experiences have made me a well rounded clinician. I offer my clients a safe place to explore often painful issues in a non-judgemental atmosphere. My ideal client is one who has specific goals in therapy and is willing to address them through work in session and exercises they can work on outside of session.

(ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS) - Reaching out for help can be difficult, whether related to adjusting to life events, stressful situations, dealing with intense emotions, relationship problems. I hope to help you feel comfortable in develop a trusting relationship in an atmosphere where you feel acknowledged and understood, and to work with you in gaining skills to cope with difficulties you are experiencing. My goal is to help you realize your strengths and positive attributes, to gain the power to make changes you need or to cope with the things you cannot change, and to find ways to bring hope and contentment to your life.

I believe everyone deserves a space to process, heal, and experience empathy and validation. Good outcomes in therapy can be expected if you feel the therapist genuinely cares and has your best interest in heart and mind. Your therapist must also have skill, knowledge, and experience with clinically proven therapy techniques. I provide both to you as my client.

Are you frustrated because therapy just isn't working? Sometimes traditional talk therapy just isn't enough. EMDR is a unique form of therapy that targets the negative beliefs that are rooted in our past traumas and allows us to replace those thoughts with more adaptive beliefs. With EMDR therapy, you will quickly see movement to healthier thought process and feel less driven by your emotions. Together we will develop coping strategies and restore healthy patterns to assist in regulating your symptoms.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured. If you lack satisfaction in your life, counseling can help. I have a passion to see individuals live to their full potential with peace of mind, purpose in action and joy for everyday living. With over 15 years experience in counseling, education and pastoral ministry combined, I offer an educated perspective on many life issues. I am a trained in many trauma based and relational/family approaches to wholeness. I have extensive experience in working with teens and their families, couples and women's issues especially trauma, anger, emotional regulation, anxiety & depression.

My hope for my work as a counselor is to ensure others know they are not alone in any present or past suffering they have experienced. I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and women in the areas of anxiety, depression, family transitions, grief, behavioral issues, and attachment issues. I value a healthy, trusting therapeutic relationship and work hard to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where my clients feel safe as they process their emotions and life stories.

Do you spend most of your days "faking it"-- You do your best to get the job done, but on the inside you are worn out, stressed out, and overwhelmed? Are you struggling with changes that are beyond your control, such as losing a loved one, separation or divorce, or a chronic illness? Is your past haunting you... contaminating your present, hurting your relationships, and keeping you from being fully alive? You are not alone. And it is no accident that you are reading this today.

My ideal client is resilient, feels a pull for "more," and desires to thrive. Many of my clients are dealing with life transitions, career stress, identity, self-esteem, and relationship issues and are experiencing mental health struggles as a result. Individuals who benefit most from my support may be suffering from anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, sexuality, and identity concerns silently. My clients will learn how to recognize and capitalize on their strengths, learn coping skills, and be challenged to live fully by acknowledging and accepting their humanity.

I have over 15 years experience providing best practice therapy interventions to children, adolescents, adults and their families. My focus is working with children and young adults who have experienced traumatic incidents, adjustment and attachment concerns, grief and loss and depression and anxiety.

I also have extensive background with parents whose children have recently disclosed trauma and/or abuse and who are need of their own support systems.

NEW location and more in person availability! Since 2012, my passion has been therapy/counseling, second only to being a father to my amazing daughter. I have amassed extensive experiences and training along that way. As a result, I can match each client with tools and philosophy that get them closer to where they are trying to go. My approach to all things centers on finding solutions in life, and my sessions are no different. From day one, I seek solutions while being present with those who allow me to be a part of their journey.

Are you going through some big or small changes in your life right now? Does this have you feeling out of sorts because you can’t find your path or direction in life? This may also have you feeling not quite like yourself. Maybe even a little anxious and/ or depressed. First, let me say it’s normal for all of us to go through transitions at various times in our lives. While we are going through these changes, sometimes we just need a little help figuring out how to process it all and ultimately finding a clearer pathway. You are the expert in your life, and I’d love to walk along side of you on your journey to discovery.

It’s hard to know how to start an introduction like this. It can quickly feel like I am trying to “sell” myself to you, which is not the point. It's for you to get to know me. I have found therapy to be most beneficial under two conditions: first and foremost, a person HAS to be ready. Ready to make changes; ready to dig deep. I think we have all been guilty of continuing the same patterns of behavior, hoping things will magically change one day. I advise a healthy mix of tangible change along with exploration to identify how core beliefs, negative thoughts and family dynamics impact present behaviors and relationships.

At Pope Counseling Center, We believe in helping others through a difficult time or life transition with a non-judgemental stance in a laid back atmosphere.
