Therapists in Hampstead, NC

As a CMHC intern & mother of two little ones, I understand the challenges of juggling parenthood, relationships, & career. I have a passion for assisting others in their personal healing journey through the blended use of talk therapy, somatic experiencing (mind-body work), & the ACT modality (actionable-therapy.) My therapeutic approach relies, first, on developing a strong therapeutic relationship with the client, assessing your needs, & developing an intuitive treatment plan that helps you achieve your goals. I believe the inner work we do in therapy creates positive ripple effects into all essential areas of our lives.

"Once upon a time..." is the beginning of many stories If you are seeking therapy, you have a story to tell.

I will provide an atmosphere of safety without judgment so that enlightenment, healing and growth can take place. I use Solution-Focused approach to therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques in my work with couples, families and individuals to help enhance and maintain rewarding relationships and manage life transitions.

Cheating, infidelity, lies, and secrets. Have you discovered that your partner has been unfaithful to you? You feel despair, hopeless, and powerless. Confusion, rage, and hurt have set in. You have been betrayed at the deepest level. You can hardly breathe. The pain is unbearable. You are not sure what is real or not. You are questioning everything. Even blaming yourself. You are asking: How did this happen? How did I not know? You need answers. You can’t sleep, eat, or make decisions. You have reached your breaking point and need someone to help you understand what has happened while you walk toward your recovery and healing.

Working the last three years in Mental Health and addiction, I have learned to motivate people to develop a plan to change their life. My experience is working with adolescents, young and older adults who approach struggles differently. Each person culture has sculptured their beliefs and how they face new challenges. By collaborating with individuals, the focus is to help them gain personal growth. Sometimes it may be difficult to share your struggles with a stranger.
