Family Therapy in 27516

My approach to psychotherapy is that of a humanist; that is, successful therapy results in your continued evolution into your true self. My therapeutic style is gentle and engaged, and I respect your intelligence. I strive to provide an atmosphere of care and compassion which allows you to curiously explore what events, past and present are contributing to your challenges. It's important to me to take the time to understand your values and desires so that our work is grounded in how you see yourself.

I rely on a strength-based, collaborative approach, meeting adult and young adult clients with warmth and compassion. I believe that we are all looking to be our best selves and have the resources within us to get there. I have spent over twenty years as a therapist, with extensive experience helping clients navigate work/life balance, addiction and recovery, trauma, parenting, family and relationship dynamics and life transitions. I offer EMDR for trauma therapy, a variety of approaches for individuals exploring the impact of substance use or codependency in their lives and support during particularly stressful life stages.

Taking the step to find a therapist can be overwhelming. I am glad you are here. My goal is to provide a safe space for self-exploration, change, and healing. I work with children, teenagers, and adults dealing with a variety of challenges, including painful feelings, emotional numbness, undesired behaviors, unhelpful thinking, mood challenges, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, interpersonal conflict, life changes, and ongoing stress. My approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, compassionate, collaborative, and empowering. I see you, I am here for you, and I believe in you.

**I currently only can accept private pay (no insurances) and I only offer tele-therapy sessions (not in-person).** It can be difficult to find a good fit with a therapist. But this is most important, since our therapeutic relationship is key to creating the best environment in which you can explore issues and achieve your goals, whatever they may be. I enjoy a relaxed style, and facilitate a warm and safe environment for you to express yourself. I enjoy working with social or generalized anxiety, shyness, self-esteem, grief, family, and relationship issues.

I have been providing individual, couples, and family therapy for over 35 years. Areas of specialty in my clinical practice include couple/family relational issues, anxiety, depression, stress and health, life transitions, and work systems issues. Anxiety may interfere with a person's ability to think clearly at times of stress or crisis and may impede their finding a course of action. Through the initial assessment phase and as therapy progresses, the ability to think more calmly and objectively about a problem can return. A person may then more effectively address the inevitable challenges in relationships and in life.

As a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, my primary aim is to offer and provide you with the optimal quality of personalized care possible. That means, in part, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate assessment of your aims and strengths, as well as a close examination of the challenges, issues, and goals that bring you to my office. I respect your courage to confront your possible confusion and frustration, your pain and suffering, and your search for actionable solutions and meaningful life. I honor your sharing relevant personal history and strivings, and my commitment is to work together to enhance your quality of life.
