Italian Therapists in Elon, NC

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars" (Khalil Gibran). While suffering is part of life, and moving on always a possibility, figuring out how to reorganize the pieces of our puzzle after trauma has occurred can be a daunting task. Too often, we allow our past experiences and our scars to define who we are, and we get stuck in a dark place, incapable of taking that first step. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to walk that path with you.

Accepting New Clients: I believe life should be enjoyable. Life is a journey we all walk through with moments that challenge us. Life comes with challenging situations and life circumstances, but we can ask for help. My job is to help you get through those tough moments in life, to collaborate with you to increase your life satisfaction and focus on building a better you. I can create a warm and safe environment to empower you. I will listen and be present. I welcome everyone from all walks of life. I will join you in the journey of becoming a better you.

Do you struggle to get your needs met in your relationships? Perhaps you try repeatedly and fail to achieve harmony? I have a special interest in working with individuals experiencing unhappiness in their important relationships. When my clients first come in, they may feel they are doing the heavy lifting and hope that things will change. Their relationship dissatisfaction gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the person they strive to be according to their values. They feel like they are failing as a partner and in life. Greater self-confidence and fulfillment are attainable.

You have felt different from others most of your life. You're tired of being constantly told that you are too sensitive or emotional. You feel too much. You require so much more alone time and downtime than most people. You believe in the good of others and that has sometimes caused you deep hurt in your relationships. It's exhausting and lonely being the person everyone goes to for advice and perspective. You're an old soul and you see the world differently. But the world seems so unkind to you in return. You've given so much and worked so hard but continue to feel unseen by those you care about. I see you.

Now offering services to Residents of California, North Carolina and Florida. We live in a world where we are constantly being told we need to do more, we need to work harder, we are not enough just as we are. This mentality is causing us to push ourselves to the point of extreme stress, anxiety and burnout. What we really need is balance, peace and a clearer vision of who we are and what we personally need to thrive. This extends beyond ourselves into our relationships. I strive to create a safe space to explore and work through your challenges and find your way to better balance.

Getting stuck on life's journey happens to all of us at one time or another. When you become more aware of your own story, thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and beliefs, you have an increased ability to face challenges and overcome adversity with success. My goal is to help you discover alternatives to address the challenges that you face.
