If you’re here perusing these therapist profiles, it’s probably because something’s not quite right. Maybe you hate your job, feel stuck in it, or have trouble finding one that feels congruent for you. Maybe it’s some turbulence occurring in your relationship– or the absence of a relationship when you long for one. Or perhaps something awful happened and you just can’t get it out of your head.

My work is devoted to helping college students and adults achieve the fulfilling lives they aspire to. My clients struggle with different issues, including: -worries and anxiety; -being overwhelmed by stress and not knowing how to find peace; -depression and low self-esteem; -work problems; -grief; -problems with relationships and intimacy; -seeking meaning in their lives; and -a desire for spirituality and creativity. Since it's usually so hard to change our habitual ways of doing things and it takes courage, my work encourages humor and teaches self-compassion. What I offer to others is the opportunity to learn to love themselves.

We are a therapy practice of experienced clinicians who specialize in working with disordered eating, food, weight, and body image struggles, perinatal and postpartum challenges, relationship difficulties, and women's issues. We recognize the complexity of various stressors facing individuals in these challenging times and we welcome those who are new to the therapy experience as well as those who are seeking a new therapy process. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based modalities but put you and your needs first, when determining the best treatment approach. Most important is listening to you and establishing a safe environment for a healing relationship to develop.

In-office and telehealth sessions for individual therapy (ages 14 and up) and couples counseling. I specialize in the psychodynamic treatment of anxiety, depression, panic, psychosomatic issues, sexual issues, relationship issues, and personality disorders. This form of treatment helps clients uncover and understand the origins, meanings, and unconscious aspects of problems and symptoms in the context of a supportive and accepting therapeutic relationship. It is well suited for those who have not responded well to skills-based approaches or who feel a need to understand themselves on a deeper level.

I am a North Carolina licensed professional counselor. I have over 14 years of experience providing therapy for adolescents and adults. Since I am currently only doing video counseling it will be important to consult with me briefly to determine if this will be a good fit for both us. I incorporate my training of mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and expressive therapy (art therapy) to help my clients in reducing anxiety and emotional distress, and thus improving understanding and self-awareness.

Do you desire love but push it away? To the outside world does it appear that everything is fine, but inside your heart and mind lies a different person who you don't understand? Do others compliment you on your kindness, good looks or work ethic, yet they have no clue that inside you feel alone, empty, afraid or unworthy? Do you spend lots of time and money on buying the best gifts, having the perfect body, or trying to please your boss, only to feel like what you do is never enough? Would you like to work with a therapist who can help you heal from your emotional pain, release the stress and anxiety, and learn to love yourself?

I hope to bring compassion and attentiveness that creates space for healing. I have twelve years of experience in a variety of therapeutic settings including distance therapy. I am passionate about helping you find your identity and self-worth so you'll be able to succeed in every aspect of your life. I am LGBTQ affirming and open to all faiths.

Sometimes in life we need someone to come along side us and walk with us for a while on our journey. I would describe myself as a sojourner. I provide a positive, nonjudgmental environment to see individuals as they work on addressing challenges they are facing. I work with children, teens and adults to address issues including depression, anxiety, infertility, life transitions, grief and loss along with parenting related stressors. Some of my speciality areas include: Postpartum issues, maternal mental health and EMDR. I also provide help to other professionals to address secondary trauma, compassion fatigue and "burn out".

You matter -- I recognize how painful it may be to not feel fully seen, accepted, safe, capable, and loved in the world. I whole-heartedly welcome all parts of you into our work together. I move beyond working with just your thoughts and embrace you as a whole-person, which includes your emotions, body sensations, relationships, and even spirit. As a result, I offer an integrated approach that includes body-centered, creative, cognitive, and contemplative techniques. By slowing down and deepening insight you can identify limiting patterns, develop greater acceptance, access inner knowing, and make self-directed change.

I have been a couples and family therapist since 1992, when I completed my doctorate and then did my clinical training at the Univ. of New Hampshire Marriage and Family Therapy Center. I do brief, solution-focused therapy and work primarily with couples and families. I also work with parenting issues, with teens, and with adults with depression. I usually help couples in 3-6 sessions. As a rabbi since 1976 I also bring the wisdom of the ages to my work with couples. For a fuller profile, see my website at www.4cft.com.

"Every person I serve has a unique story. I have found that, while some clients experience trouble in just one area, most are experiencing difficulty in two or more areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life."

Responsive, client centered services are my specialty. I want for you what I want for myself: flexibility, creativity, focused listening and care. Each of us is a hero/heroine on the journey of life, who is discovering how to make peace with our dragons. We all have a natural propensity to grow psychologically and emotionally over time. I have experience with many psychological issues including relationships, effective parenting, depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, grief, self esteem, coping with disability, chronic pain and illness, intellectual disabilities, trauma and psychosis. I enjoy working with couples interested in realigning and strengthening their relationships.

I have offered individual therapy and groups to clients in the Triangle for over 35 years.

My approach is always supportive and based on my belief in the ability of human beings to grow and to heal from the psychological wounds we all carry.

There is much to learn about life that isn’t taught in school. The ABCs of being human! Like how to create & sustain happy relationships, how to feel purpose and passion in our daily lives, how to overcome fear and discouragement, ways to connect to our spiritual selves, how to find or create happy work, how to live through loss and change, how to understand & express emotions, how to speak our mind freely and feel comfortable being ourselves, or mindfulness habits that keep us connected to joy even when times are hard, to name a few. In therapy you can build and strengthen these capacities.

One of my goals as your therapist would be to provide a relationship of trust, respect and warmth. I want to understand your frame of reference, needs and goals, and tailor my work with you accordingly. To do this, I draw from a wide array of traditions and skills, including psychodynamic therapies, hypnosis, Cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness/meditation training, EMDR, Trauma therapy, relational work, and dream work.
