People who seek help through the stresses and traumas of life instead of succumbing to them are the bravest people I know. Although therapy may not feel courageous, at some point, we all need the presence and compassionate care of someone committed to our healing process. This is my passion. I work with courageous people who choose to move toward wholeness while continuing to live and care for the responsibilities of their lives. A large part of my work is devoted to helping men and women work through traumatic experiences in the present and those remembered from the past.

Reach out today for a free consultation. Note for new clients I currently accept BCBS NC commercial/ state health plan, Aetna & United Healthcare. Are you new to therapy or maybe returning to therapy due to recent changes or events? Then Journey Counseling PLLC is where you begin working through your mental and emotional life experiences. Outpatient treatment is seen as the lowest level of care, meaning that support is provided on a weekly basis with time to allow you to practice the things that happen in session.

Life can be challenging. And right now, in the day to day, it seems even harder. Are you having trouble figuring out where to go next? You are not alone. Many people hesitate to get started with counseling because taking that first step can be hard. Yet, feeling stuck in life or continuing in a dysfunctional situation is much harder. Today is a good day to start in a different direction with a more hopeful future.

As a licensed therapist my goal is to make the counseling process one of comfort and growth. I understand that it isn't easy to make change, and it can be both difficult and painful to address an issue that is truly weighing you down. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling and am also trained in many evidence based techniques. At this time I am unable to accept new clients who require weekend or evening hours.

We can explore these things together; work on your healing and feeling more like “you”, and allowing me to support you along the way.

Feel stagnant in your relationship? Can't stop fighting with your partner? Want to strengthen your connection? Maybe you've tried traditional couple's therapy services, either with little success or have hit a wall in progress. Or maybe you feel lost and disconnected from self. You've hit rock bottom and don't know what else to do.

Experience, experience, experience. As a psychologist with over 35 years serving adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families, I understand that "well begun is half done" which points to the importance of respecting each individual's unique starting point in therapy. I have a distinct health orientation based in science which suggests that most emotional distress is ultimately stress-related. Therefore, emotional balance and well-being is inherently available to most individuals. Ultimately, most of us find that quality emotional work pays off.
