Therapists in Chapel Hill, NC
Embracing your humanity isn't easy, but you don't have to face it alone. Many of my clients experience anxiety, perfectionism, burnout and professional challenges, navigating life transitions, stress from being sandwiched between parenting children and care for older parents, challenges with aging or medical conditions, and coping with intergenerational trauma. If you haven't quite figured out "Work-Life balance" (or juggling multiple stressors) you are not alone! Let's slow down, learn to find your inner wisdom, and live with intention to bring more of what you want... purpose, connection, peace, vitality, joy... to your life.

**I AM UNABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. IF YOU ARE A FORMER CLIENT, PLEASE REACH OUT VIA EMAIL**. I believe that we are designed dynamic and multi-faceted, thus we must honor and take notice of each important piece of ourselves. By using a Bio-Psych-Social-Spiritual model of therapy we can move toward a more comprehensive understanding of your needs and a more full experience of recovery, wellness and joy. While my treatment approach is guided by my own training and experience, my goal is always to tailor therapy to your specific needs and concerns not just a symptom or diagnosis.

As Hemmingway said “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” We begin wherever you are… you might be in the process of fracturing or maybe you are trying to make sense of the pieces of your self, or you might be letting the fear of breaking hold you back from life. I am here to walk alongside you on this journey. Along the way we can work to make sense of the broken pieces, figure out how to put them back together and learn to accept that which will be forever changed in you. I see growth and healing as an active process that is not linear or quick, but rather a journey we must embark on.

You're struggling to understand what's wrong, and life feels out of control or meaningless. You tried therapy before but it left you feeling dry. Something still isn't working, and what motivated you before doesn't make sense the way that is used to. Accomplishing success ultimately brings its own problems, and now that you're here, you just can't seem to find the drive that you had before. It's like you're doing everything right, yet nothing is improving. You've read endless articles about mental health, sleep hygiene, and other topics, but still can't quite seem to find the change you're looking for.
