Career Counseling Therapists in Durham, NC

The experiences that individuals encounter throughout their lives can be opportunities for self-exploration and emotional growth. My role as a psychologist is to provide empathy, support, guidance, and skills to help clients identify existing strengths and resources to address life transitions and stressors. I can also help develop new coping strategies and ways of thinking to overcome experiences that restrict a satisfying and fulfilling life. It would be a great privilege to hear your story and collaboratively work to develop targets for change, identify growth edges, and tap into your existing assets to help you reach your goals.

Are you going through a transition in your career , relationships, family? You're a leader, but feel uncertain. Perhaps you don't like your job , but are afraid to rock the boat. Are you retiring and don't know what's next? Maybe you are leaving, starting, or struggling in a relationship and want to do it "right" this time. All Transitions have stages we need to address. Our past experiences create our lenses of fear or excitement about the future. Knowing your old patterns will help you to create the life YOU want now. We can work 1-1, with a partner, a team or a family to see the old patterns and create new, successful ones.

Feeling lonely, uncertain, anxious, and that life is not turning out how you thought it would at work or at home? Do you have something on your mind that is causing you to lose sleep and impacts your daily functioning? Are you interested in exploring what might bring more satisfaction and contentment? Talking with a counselor in a confidential, safe environment can bring clarity and calmness to complex, swirling thoughts, and provide tools to support you in building a more meaningful life that is aligned with your values.

Sometimes we all can use a little help on life's journey--when things seem dark, when we feel like we are drowning in emotions, challenges, or thoughts, or when we just need someone to help with focus as we set a course toward achieving our goals. That is what therapy is all about! Therapy is not having someone with all the right answers tell you what to do or doing things to you; it is having a professional guide to draw out your goals and strengths, to breathe hope into difficult times, and to assist with perspective and skills. As Rumi said, "The wound is where the light enters you." Come, find hope, and refuel for your journey.

During a comprehensive assessment, I help my clients identify areas of satisfaction as well as areas they would like to change.
