I offer counseling, therapy, and online resources for your life, relationships, and sex. I am an experienced individual and couples therapist.

Do you find yourself wanting to live a more authentic, empowered and meaningful life? Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to cultivate the kind of relationships, work and level of health that you desire? I can help you understand and manage anxiety and depression symptoms as well as explore and resolve their root cause. If you're feeling stuck, down or struggling to create the life you desire, I can help you to identify what's not working and find your way back to balance.

Are you a parent concerned about your teens shift in behavior or mood? You may be confused whether it is "regular teen" stuff or something more. You miss your happy, carefree child and wonder if they will ever enjoy life again. Imagine what it would be like for them to have their confidence back and skills to manage difficult situations and emotions in the future. Your teen would feel better about themselves and parents could breath easier knowing their children have the skills to cope and know when and how to ask for help. Life transitions are hard, whether it's going to or graduating from college. It's okay to ask for help.

My goal is to help you achieve whatever success looks like for you. Often, reaching our goals can seem daunting and even anxiety-provoking. Let’s tackle this together! I have worked in community mental health, outpatient, inpatient, volunteer, and primary care settings. I have experience helping clients who have had various concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, trauma, life change adjustments, adoption, substance use, and aging family members. HOURS: M-F 10am - 4pm. Weekend hours available on 1st and 3rd weekends of the each month.

I'm a licensed clinical health psychologist specializing in working with medically-complex patients struggling with mental health problems related to and separate from various traumas, pre-/post-surgery, new medical diagnoses or treatment (cancer, chemo, amputation), complex medical course, displacement, &/or prolonged hospitalization. I specialize in anxiety/mood issues, insomnia, stress management, acute trauma, health behavior change and weight loss, chronic pain, smoking cessation & relapse prevention.

No Openings at this time. Telehealth/Virtual Only in NC and FL. Ever found yourself saying "I just can't deal anymore?" Maybe life's been hard because of a traumatic moment (e.g. an accident, abuse, disaster, communal/social/racial stressor, toxic relationships, or sudden/traumatic grief/loss). This might show up as increased worry, fear/panic, sadness, or feeling "out of it." Perhaps you want to cope with life's stressors without turning to drugs or other substances/behaviors (if detox/higher level of care isn't needed first). If you're here, you're already motivated for change and relief!

Your chest is tight & you have trouble catching your breath. Sweating, nausea, heart pounding. You avoid situations, become agitated, cling to others. You worry-thinking the worst possible outcome is going to happen. You feel sad, tired, guilty if you don’t meet expectations. You’re exhausted but afraid to slow down or say ‘no’ to others, fearing rejection or loneliness. Your inner voice is constantly negative & you want to stop it or change it, but you don’t know how to change it or even know if it’s possible to truly accept yourself or even find yourself. This doesn't have to be your 'normal'. Life doesn't have to be this hard.

After 10 years of experience I have found a passion working with adolescents and young adults. I spent much of my time working in acute settings with self-harm and suicidal thoughts as a result of trauma, depression, anxiety, and a variety of other diagnoses. I enjoy helping my clients gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they are connected. We work together to gain skills to better manage, cope, and communicate difficult emotions in a health way. In addition, I enjoy helping teens strengthen their ability to communicate to parents and their supports. I currently see ages 13-25

Life can be tough, leaving us feeling helpless and tired. You don't have to be alone during those times.

"Empowering Young Minds Through Healing and Wellness" We are a psychotherapy practice conveniently located in the South Park area providing individual and group therapy for adolescents and young adults ages 13 to 25 . We have a strong focus on parent support and family involvement and a special interest in trauma focused therapy. Our clinicians have immediate availability in both the group and individual settings.

In my time as a therapist, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families on issues ranging from struggles with life changes and adjustments to the challenges that arise from substance use/abuse. Some other areas I've worked with include anxiety, depression, pre-marital concerns, LGBTQIA, relationship issues, and familial conflicts. My treatment approach is client/person-centered where I act as a supportive guide along whatever journey you are on.

When we find ourselves overwhelmed by the circumstances of life, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Many of us have endured experiences that leave us feeling misunderstood or defeated. The pain we experience can lead to an overall sense of disconnectedness from others and from our very selves. There is great power in sharing our stories within an environment of empathy and safety, where we can be curious together about how the past has impacted the present. To feel understood can be the first pathway to healing.

It takes courage to seek help, so I greatly value your search. I specialize in working with folks seeking ways to navigate past and present trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety and depression, divorce and blended families, women's issues, life transitions and experiences with the criminal justice system. Creatively offering empathetic non-judgment and openness, I see each client as having a unique ability to sort through complex challenges and move toward a more peaceful life. "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our own light" Brene' Brown

I spent the first part of my career in non-profit and private practice settings in a rural area. These experiences provided a wide range of clinical growth and led to specializations in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I quickly build rapport with clients and am particularly passionate about working with those who are apprehensive about the therapeutic process. In addition, I have an extensive background working with the LGBTQ+ community, from individual and group counseling to training clinicians in LGBTQ+ inclusivity.

Sustainable change takes time and it has been well-known for years that the most important component of this change is the therapeutic relationship. Licensed to treat both mental health and substance use issues, I use a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach, and believe strongly that my clients are the experts of their own lives. Sometimes we just need help finding our way, and I am here to walk with you on that difficult journey. Our relationship will serve as the North Star.

Thank you for your interest, but I am NOT currently accepting new clients and I have a FULL waitlist- I have a preference for utilizing many of the counseling techniques within cognitive behavioral therapy because I believe that although individuals will undoubtedly experience hardship and difficulty within their lives, I feel that problems with emotions and behaviors are many times a result of how one thinks and feels about a situation. Because I believe that counseling is not a “one-size-fits-all” process, I will always maintain awareness of the uniqueness of a client’s situation and adapt my method to suit his or her needs.

Parenting is hard! It can be challenging to manage a child's emotional responses, behaviors, limited coping strategies, and developing communication strategies. At Zola Counseling, we help navigate these areas to support parent and child in implementing developmentally appropriate emotional expression. Some of our specialty practice areas include: Attachment concerns:[adoption, foster care, or kinship care], anxiety, depression, social/emotional/behavioral concerns from life adjustment, grief/loss/death, peer concerns [bullying, peer pressure, social expectations], self-esteem, and trauma [emotional, medical, physical, and sexual].

*Not currently accepting new clients* Life can be complicated, wonderful, devastating, exhilarating, and challenging. The mind as well as life’s circumstances often hinder our ability to achieve our aspirations, and we end up hurting ourselves and those we love most. Whether it’s an overwhelming feeling of incompetence and failure, struggling with negative thinking, feeling unhappy or uncomfortable with the way we look or feel, trials within our relationships, or even the relationship between food and our bodies…we are often trapped by these thoughts, feelings, and choices.
