Therapists in Etowah, NC

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of clinical experience. I have extensive experience working with individuals with issues like anxiety, depression, impulse control, addiction, chronic and life-threatening illness, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship/family problems, stress management, and job stress. I combine a variety of modalities, perspectives, and techniques including client-centered, cognitive behavioral, existential, humanistic, mindfulness, solution-focused, somatic, and trauma-informed care. My mission is to help you manage stress and find more balance in your life.

At this time we are not accepting new clients. Please call in for a consultation to be put on a waiting list. As a child I was diagnosed with ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and various other labels. None of those labels mattered though, because when I found someone who cared and listened everything changed. We all have the ability to overcome the challenges in our lives and gain personal strength through the therapy process.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental place to explore feelings and relationships. I will help you improve your communication at home and at work, deal with feeling different or marginalized, overcome your legacy of childhood abuse, sexual trauma or domestic violence, and flourish in recovery. You can feel comfortable working with someone who is down-to-earth and compassionate. I'll help you go to whatever depth you're comfortable with, as well as offer practical guidance if that's what you're seeking. I've lived in several countries and enjoy a very diverse clientele. I offer a free, 15-minute initial consultation by phone or video.

Things are not going the way you want. Maybe you're having the same struggles you've had before. You're stressed, anxious, unhappy. You have many responsibilities, you're frustrated, under so much pressure. But, at the end of the day, you don't have the relationship or life you want. It seems easier for other people. You may be feeling alone or lonely. It eats away at your confidence. In private you might question your self-worth, think you're not good enough. Maybe others think you have it all together, or they rely on you. It is especially confusing if you are successful in other areas. You are used to fixing things on your own.

Therapy is a journey to self-empowerment and deeper self-awareness. Whether your struggle with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, therapy is a place where you can safely explore the most profound aspects of your mind, recognize your true wants and needs, and learn to effectively regulate your emotions while fostering connection and positive engagement with yourself and the world around you. Therapy can help you better understand how to harmonize the mind-body connection for optimal well-being, life satisfaction, and happiness.

Hi! If you're exhausted, frustrated, angry, disillusioned, or simply in need of guidance in a life transition or situation, you're in the right place. I offer a safe space to dive into the challenges on your plate. Anxiety and depression are my specialities, but please know that I work with clients on a wide array of topics. I often utilize traditional talk therapy, and I regularly pull in CBT techniques that I think might be helpful to you, but should you or I decide a different modality would be useful, we can discuss that as well. I want our sessions to be collaborative and for you to feel heard and supported.
