Family Therapy in Sugar Grove, NC

Sometimes we can feel as if on a mountaintop with a sense of clarity and other times in a valley unable to see the next step. Life is a journey with experiences and seasons where we can all use some help along the way. Whether it be marriage, dating, work, friendships, or family dynamics, relationships can be complex. Through life's complexities we can learn and grow. I believe everyone deserves to experience joy and live an abundant life. By living authentically to ourselves and others we can become the best version of ourselves. My desire is to meet you where you are and collaboratively work with you to reach your full potential.

Currently accepting new clients for office-based or nature-based therapy. Do you find hiking or just being outside, healing? Would you enjoy being in a peaceful place to learn more about yourself? Incorporate your love of the outdoors into your own wellness journey by discovering new ways to work through emotional challenges arising from life transitions, loss/grief, social connections, family dynamics, school/career and/or relationship conflicts.

Do you have something on your mind? There are times when we all have thoughts running through our minds. Thoughts related to family, friends, relationships, school, love, spirituality, money, work, or happiness. Sometimes they are memories from your past that you're unable to let go. Maybe you can't sleep, maybe you can't eat. Maybe you have lost your purpose, who you are, what you're doing or why. It could be big, or just a small thing you want to let go. These situations can slow you down and pull your life to a stop.

I enjoy working with a wide range of individuals, and feel honored to be able to navigate with you through life's challenges. You are not alone, and being able to talk with you through your sensitive time in a trusting, safe environment is what we will be doing together.

I meet clients where they are and help them navigate difficult feelings, process trauma, and find enjoyment in life.

Let's work together to help you be the best version of yourself.

During any stage of life we are faced with challenges of many kinds. And these trials can keep anyone in the dark, not realizing that hope can be found. If you're someone who is trying to figure out who you are in the world, trying to find their way, or who just needs a solid connection with a partner; if you recognize a problem and a longing for change or struggling with overwhelming thoughts and emotions that keep you pushed away, leaving you in the dark, then you’re not alone and I’m here to help.

I am well versed in a number of theoretical approaches, utilizing an integrated strategy designed to meet your needs best. I treat adults, and families. I am very well suited to work with a wide spectrum of populations including both mental health and addiction issues. Most of my patients find that I am a good listener with empathic and genuine qualities. I am dedicated to my work and believe in meeting my patients where they are in relation to our work together. If you are looking for a therapist who is versatile, experienced, and open to a variety of issues I might be a good fit for you.

I have been working with families for over 10 years. My work has taken me from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains to as far as the California coast. Throughout my practice I have worked with children, adolescents and adult clients on a variety of issues including PTSD, depression, anxiety, adjustment to life changes, anger & behavior management, as well as development of parenting skills amongst others. I firmly believe that utilizing empathy, unconditional positive regard and genuineness, combined with effective coping skills is the best way to help my clients meet their goals.

My focus areas include trauma, attachment, depression, anxiety, grief / loss, and executive function. I want to promote a safe space to process and navigate relationships, inner child trauma and other circumstances that have impacted core beliefs and self-attachment. My goal is to support you in the realization that you are your greatest untapped resource. You are capable of achieving creative capacities through hidden potentials. The idea of brokenness does not discount your ability to experience healing. I will utilize generous listening and compassion to promote authentic connection as we embark on the journey to inner healing.

Finding the right fit with a therapist is so important, but it can feel uncomfortable (sometimes scary) meeting for a first session with a stranger and not knowing if they're going to be a good fit. I'd love the opportunity to get to talk with you; it's my goal to create a safe, warm, and welcoming space where you feel heard, felt, and able to pursue change at your pace. If we meet and you end up feeling I’m not the right fit, I'll be happy to help you find a therapist who you feel is right for YOU. Therapy isn’t about me, it’s about you finding the space and tangible resources you need on your life journey.

You see a life that you love. You face the challenges of life with courage. Your life is successful and balanced. You are aware of who you are and how you are. You can accept yourself for your strengths, struggles, and traits that make you unique. You do not get too bothered about “others”; what they think and how they act. You only own your life! You become more aware of yourself each day; the natural purpose of thoughts, feelings and actions. You keep what you like and discard what you don’t need or want. Life can be difficult but you know you are empowered and aware. You made therapy work for you.

Sometimes making it through the day is an uphill battle. Things you used to love no longer seem to be enjoyable, everyday tasks are overwhelming, and existing is starting to feel exhausting. Other times you don't feel terrible, but you don't feel good either. You know you aren't quite your usual self but despite all your effort to fix it things just aren't where you want them to be - you're feeling stuck no matter how much progress you make. If this sounds familiar, I can provide you with support to find a foothold to help you start living your life again.
