You may be motivated for change but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained. On the outside you may function well, yet internally you’re carrying anxiety, chronic stress, mood symptoms, or worry. You might notice emotional swings, people-pleasing, or that old coping strategies no longer work. You want a safe, nonjudgmental space to understand the links between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and body sensations, and a collaborative plan that builds self-compassion, boundaries, and tools. Your goals may include reducing stress, improving emotional balance and relationships, and living more in line with your values.

I have been providing individual, couples, and family therapy for over 35 years. Areas of specialty in my clinical practice include couple/family relational issues, anxiety, depression, stress and health, life transitions, and work systems issues. Anxiety may interfere with a person's ability to think clearly at times of stress or crisis and may impede their finding a course of action. Through the initial assessment phase and as therapy progresses, the ability to think more calmly and objectively about a problem can return. A person may then more effectively address the inevitable challenges in relationships and in life.

Life happens to all of us, unfortunately, what to do when it does is a question that stumps many of us. Sometimes it's an unexpected phone call or experience that alters the trajectory of life, leaving us gripped by defeat, anxiety, and despair. Other times, it's the pain of past wounds (or sometimes present)/trauma caused by someone who was supposed to love and protect us that weighs on us like a ton of bricks, stifling our ability to move forward. At LCG of NC, we hear you, feel you, and we believe that with the right support, you can achieve, overcome, improve, defy, and ultimately win in life.
