Therapists in Graham, NC

I understand that it can be very difficult to take steps towards positive change or to seek support when facing challenges in your life. Therefore, a goal when working with a new client is to create a comfortable environment. I strive to get to know you and to understand what you want from our work. I believe that each person's needs will be different, so I draw from a wide range of techniques to tailor our sessions to your specific goals. These tools can help you understand life patterns, improve relationships and accomplish your personal or professional goals.

On the surface; you seem fine, but inside, you have a self-critical voice that won’t let up. You have a lot of feelings that you feel deeply. This can be a strength but it can also leave you feeling confused about why others don't see what you see. Others may have told you that you are too sensitive but you also may be the person that they come to for advice or support. Maybe you have been hesitant to try counseling because you feel that you should be able to figure this out yourself.

With a background in social work and clinical psychology, I have been providing mental health services for more than 20 years. I am trained in Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and various Trauma Specific practices and am experienced in providing therapy to individuals, couples and families. While I am able to see clients presenting with various concerns, my main areas of focus include anxiety, depression, chronic stress, trauma and dealing with life adjustments.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple 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.

I've helped busy women harmonize their lives and heal from childhood emotional neglect.

I strive to create a sense of emotional and physical safety with you so that you can feel empowered to create this in your own life.

Stress is everywhere, especially with the challenges of the last few years. You might not be feeling like yourself. You could be feeling off, sluggish, misdirected, or overwhelmed. You could be looking to make some shifts in your life, and hopefully grow following a potentially difficult stretch. Change is never easy, but you may be searching for it. You feel it's time for you to set some boundaries, figure out what you truly need, and put ideas into action. Starting therapy can be challenging, and I applaud anyone who takes that step to move forward and give it a try.

Taking the step to seek out counseling takes tremendous courage and vulnerability. My approach in counseling is holistic and takes into account the whole body, mind, and spirit. As a therapist I treat individuals, couples, and families regardless of race, age, sexuality, gender, religion, or ethnicity. Both professionally and personally, I believe that we all have what is necessary for true growth and change. Join me on the journey of exploring your needs and goals to help you accomplish a desired outcome.

I offer a judgment-free space for expression and provide an atmosphere that promotes safety, vulnerability, empowerment, and growth for clients. My primary goal is to utilize techniques that will best fit individual clients' needs and allow him/her/they to reach his/her/their goals successfully.

I believe every client is unique and requires an individualized approach; in doing so, establishing rapport is essential to the work we do together.

It can be hard to ask for help, but it's even harder to find someone who is both easy to approach AND knowledgeable. This is the only work I have done in my professional life and get it.
