Life Coaching Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Change can be difficult for many people but wanting to feel better is a start. I believe that challenges lead to growth and an opportunity to live a more fulfilling life. Common reasons for seeking therapy include difficulty adjusting to life changes and transitions, dissatisfaction in significant relationships, coping with traumatic life experiences, and difficulty managing feelings. I work with individuals and groups to lessen the impact of trauma; develop healthy boundaries and coping skills; improve relationships and communication skills; and increase self-esteem/self-acceptance.

If you’re looking for a therapist who believes in your resiliency and your ability to overcome barriers that prevent you from achieving your hopes and dreams, consider allowing me to work with you. Working with you from a solution focused and person-centered approach, you will learn strategies and skills that can assist you in moving past challenges that you're experiencing. I focus on working with children & adults who have ADHD, anxiety, depression and personality disorders. I also provide grief therapy, as well as play therapy for children & families. Let's talk to see if we're a good fit for you. Be well and thank you.

You should be embracing those uncomfortable feelings in life- it could be a sign that you are growing! Bloom where you are planted. I understand how overstimulating it can be to adapt and navigate stressful environments or life experiences. You deserve a safe space where you feel comfortable working through the fear or stress that you may be experiencing. Additionally, the ability to adapt to life’s inevitable changes is an invaluable skill to have and unfortunately it’s not a skill that comes naturally to many of us, especially young children. Please note — in office hours include M- Thurs 2PM - 7PM; Friday Virtual only 12pm- 5PM

Imagine waking up everyday inspired that you are loved and appreciated, deeply known and secure in your most important relationships. Imagine being fulfilled by knowing exactly how to show love to those same people. I love helping couples make their relationships great, from wherever they begin.

Built on attraction and attachment choices, love takes many forms but ultimately is our response to our deepest drives for meaning.
