Asking for help is a courageous and vulnerable act, and if you are reading this, you are considering taking that step. Maybe you are moving through an unwanted change in your life, or the loss of a relationship. Maybe you are experiencing feelings of sadness, grief, or hopelessness because of something extremely painful in your past or your present. Maybe you are worrying about the future, feeling stuck about what to do next. All of these situations are workable and I would welcome the opportunity to support you in moving forward toward your goals and the life you desire. Feel supported and heard as you begin to find your path.

An ideal client is someone who is ready to consider making a change in their life. Therapy can help you explore what you can change and what you might want to change, including helping you to identify small steps you can take to get you there.

Often, we experience a great deal of frustration as we move from the person that we are to the person that we are created to be. It can be difficult to balance past regrets, present frustrations and future uncertainties. We can feel so “stuck” with no idea of how to continue forward. This looks differently for everyone -- from adjusting to a new environment to dealing with past hurts to uncovering your full identity in a world that’s constantly changing. But, if you believe that growth is possible, then I am here to help!

I am a psychotherapist with 35 years experience in a variety of treatment settings. I have been in private practice now for 23 years, working with people from all walks of life who bring their unique story to the space we co-create. With care, and with gentle yet intense encounters, we navigate through the difficult times in the person's life. Our work together and the intimacy of the here and now is about healing life's wounds more so than managing life's difficulties; it is the healing that brings ease to life stresses.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor & Supervisor and have over 15 years of experience working with clients of all ages. My approach is warm and supportive and I view clients through a strengths-based lens. I understand that the challenges facing us today are stressful and unpredictable, and I will work in collaboration with you to help you regain balance, presence, and compassion for yourself in your personal growth.

You want more out of life. Your relationships are stale, unfulfilling or toxic. You have a vision of yourself, but cannot behave yourself into that vision. Or, you have recurrent distressing thoughts that plague and distract you from the tasks and rewards of life. You are sad, scared or worried about your past and future. Releasing your potential requires a set of technologies to liberate you from all these human dilemmas. Luckily, these tools exist--now more than ever before. I combine the contributions of neuroscience, energy psychology and Eastern metaphysical thought into a supportive, gently directive and respectful practice.

Have you ever found yourself feeling unable to put your stressors aside long enough for you to get the rest you deserve? Has the loss of a loved one, a job, or a routine even shifted your world in a direction where you feel like you've lost all control? If so, I believe I can walk with you and guide you on your way to learning new skills to manage your life in a way that works best for you. I respect you as the expert on your experiences. My goal is to help people learn how to use the tools in their tool belt to manage their lives in a way that empowers them to be the best version of themselves.

As a therapist and clinician, I am dedicated to supporting, accompanying, and empowering Triangle NC and surrounding area clients on their journeys through trying times. Within the therapeutic alliance, I employ goal centered, evidence based methods, usually centered in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to maximize quality of life and bring about a healthier, more peaceful existence, as well as maximize self-actualization. I consider myself highly compassionate, supportive, and believe strongly in the power of good active listening, we all deserve to be truly heard and understood.

Seeking help as you cope with life's difficult circumstances is hard, and it is my honor and privilege to work with you as your therapist. My role in your wellness journey is to provide guidance and support as you learn healthy, effective coping mechanisms to deal with both acute and chronic stressors in your life.

It is important in my work with individuals to initially focus on rapport and the creation of a welcoming and comfortable environment. There are times in life when the journey appears difficult. Obstacles can seem insurmountable and overwhelming. My emphasis is in helping those in need, through an eclectic evidence-based approach, to identify and develop their strengths. I count it a high honor to walk alongside individuals on their path of life. There is extraordinary beauty and value in each individual. I strive to illuminate that truth for each client.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families on a range of things, from family and relationship issues to life transitions, depression and anxiety, grief, larger existential questions, and other things. A particular focus is helping people in crisis manage and make meaning from difficulties. My approach to therapy is supportive, relational, and client-centered, with a focus on how things manifest themselves in the here and now. More than anything, I try to create a safe space for tuning in to feelings, finding balance, healing, and working on change.

I am a psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapist, having attained extensive post graduate training via advanced coursework and clinical supervision. Throughout two decades of clinical experience in the field, I have found it paramount to provide a compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental presence in order to create a safe therapeutic relationship. Psychotherapy is a profound, meaningful process of growth, which typically entails once or twice weekly sessions. Beginning treatment might seem daunting, and I wish to help each client embark their own individual in-depth process towards a more fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and provide psychotherapy to adolescents, young adults, and adults. My approach is warm and engaging, curious and authentic. I work collaboratively with my clients and maintain a compassionate and inviting stance. I continue to feel honored to engage in this work and bear witness to such courage and vulnerability. I practice from a relational, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed framework. This means that, together, we will think about how the experiences you have been through in your life have shaped who you are today and how you engage in the world.

I work with adults and college students who are curious and interested in learning about themselves, fostering healthier relationships and becoming more emotionally present. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important piece to our work together and I am always honored to hear another's story and offer support on their path to living a healthier, happier life. I have experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, spirituality, relationship/family conflict, depression, grief/loss and those who have recently experienced a significant life transition.

I partner with individuals and families to promote mental health and wellness across the lifespan. My colleagues and I believe that comprehensive care is individualized, evidence-based, and founded on a culture of integrity, respect, compassion and authenticity with our clients and among our staff. Our hope is that we can assist you in finding acceptance, healing, growth, and work/life balance. Read more about myself and my colleagues at www.CatalystNC.com.

Change is hard. Life as you knew it has suddenly changed and you have no idea how to move forward. Your mind and body are adjusting to a new way of being which triggers an array of unsettled and uncomfortable feelings. The tension, lack of sleep, irritability, and low energy make it difficult to cope with the pressure. Part of you wants to give up and walk away, but there are too many people depending on you to stop now. Adjusting to this emotionally taxing shift in your life is not going smoothly and you’re beating yourself up for not handling it better. You’re at a loss for what to do and how to fit the pieces together.
