At times, we all need to be validated and affirmed to feel understood and seen. But to make long lasting changes, we also need to be challenged. As your therapist, I can do both. I work with clients who want to take responsibility for themselves and their lives. Who are willing to step outside of their comfort zones bit by bit to change unhelpful patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Instead of circling around the same old things that are keeping you stuck, together, we will identify strategies that allow you to fully participate in your life.
My goal is to help you have compassion for your past and current selves while also making changes that help you live in alignment with your values moving forward. I will sit with you in the hard stuff, laugh with you at the silly stuff, and celebrate you as you make strides towards your goals. I am trained in DBT, FBT, ERP, EMDR, Polyvagal, & Brainspotting.
This is hard. And, I know you can do hard things. Please visit my webpage to learn more about me, or contact me here to schedule an appointment today. I see clients in Raleigh, NC and virtually across North Carolina and South Carolina.
