Self Esteem Therapists in Apex, NC

Born and raised in Apex, North Carolina I feel deeply connected to my community. I chose to enter the field of counseling because of how much I enjoy working with people, and I am thrilled that I have the opportunity to serve this neighborhood. I specialize in working with adolescents, typically ages eleven to twenty one. I know from personal experience as well as my formal education that these are formative years and can be particularly difficult to navigate. I specialize in anxiety, grief, family conflict, self esteem , stress, and spirituality.

I have five years experience working with children, adolescents, and adults (ages 7-30) in individual, family, and group settings. This experience has focused on a multitude of mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, trauma, adjustment issues, self- esteem, and grief and loss. Together we will work to create a collaborative partnership that focuses on your personal needs and goals. Our work will focus on your strengths and your ability to overcome your challenges through new skills, trauma processing, and the continued development of emotional regulation.

I have been working with children and adolescents with a wide array of presenting issues throughout my career. My approach to counseling is client-centered and with a focus on client strengths and family strengths. From here, we can build upon the positives of an individual to overcome the negatives, or areas that we would like to change.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: avail below (updated 5/17)* When in session, I want to foster safe spaces where challenging conversations and vulnerable emotions can be explored and processed, and achievements are celebrated. When stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other emotional distress occurs, I meet my clients where they are at. Just because we can do something alone, does not mean we have to. Whatever stage of life you are in, let's work through those personal transitions and obstacles. Thus, I believe the best clinical relationships come when both of us are open, curious, and eager for the growth to come from session-to-session.

Something - some event / loneliness /feeling like a fraud / feeling like something is missing - brought you to look for a resource at this particular time. Wondering "what's wrong with me" What is the message in the difficulty you are having? The answers lie within that message. It is in discovering - or rediscovering - of who you are that you need. It is finding out and getting back to who you genuinely are - only then can you live authentically. Only then can you see your way through. Don't change into someone else. Find - rediscover - your own goodness - your own strengths. Rediscover who YOU are and be that fully.
