Welcome to Counseling Greensboro! Counseling is not always about resolving problems; it is a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery. It can enhance your well-being, authenticity, and overall success as a human being. Counseling as a proactive step in your life can lead to profound self-awareness and positive transformation. By engaging in counseling, you are investing in your personal development and nurturing the best version of yourself. It's an opportunity to explore your inner world, understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, uncover your strengths and values.

Are you feeling angry, anxious, or depressed? Weighed down by life stressors? Overwhelmed by conflicting roles and responsibilities? I will partner with you to help you be happier and more effective in navigating life's stressful complexities and challenges. I believe that we all need a shoulder to cry on, a place to vent, and someone with whom to brainstorm new ideas. I see my clients as unique, competent, and capable human beings who can use their strengths to bring about positive change in a timely manner. I am committed to supporting each of my clients in a safe and confidential environment.

My ideal client is an individual that wants to find their optimal wellness. Individuals that come with issues regarding addiction and trauma I am particularly drawn to helping but I work with a broad range of issues, including but not limited to ADHD, generalized anxiety, Impulse control disorders, depression and mood concerns. My ideal client is open toward keeping the focus of treatment on what wellness could be for them, while perceiving problems and symptoms as just obstacles to overcome on the path toward what they really want. They understand that with a good road map we can go anywhere.

Thank you for taking this first step toward self-improvement. Therapy with me is about rediscovering your inner strength, building resilience, and finding hope. Together, we’ll navigate life’s challenges, explore your unique strengths, and work towards a brighter tomorrow. As a therapist, I have worked with individuals and families who face various mental health experiences, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar, (PTSD), as well those who are experiencing life transitions or feelings of stagnation.

One of the most important things we can do is take care of ourselves and each other. I'm so glad you are taking a step towards doing so. YOU are the most important person in your life, and my goal is to help you uncover the best version of yourself. Whether it self discovery or rediscovery, that best version is inside of us all. I like to use a person centered approach and identify what style of therapy works best for the person I am working with.

I strive to provide a private, informal and comfortable office setting where my clients can expect to be treated with respect and dignity while facing life's challenges. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. Some of my interests include: Self esteem, career/work, aging, stress and anger management, women's issues, eating disorders, addiction, conduct disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, life coaching, assertiveness training, parenting and relationship skills, marital, pre-marital or divorce issues, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, dependency; emotional, sexual and physical abuse, trauma and ADHD.

Why? It's such a simple word with so much importance. As humans, it is in our nature to ask this question about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Sometimes the answer may not be so clear. That's where therapy can help. I work with teens and adults who ask themselves this question every day. Perhaps you have experienced trauma at some point in your life, you're going through major changes, or you're struggling to truly find yourself. No matter where you are in your life, there is strength in asking for help.

The clients I serve find themselves being negatively impacted by unfortunate experiences in their lives. The three most prevalent commonalities are anxiety, stress, and prolonged feelings of sadness or depression. These symptoms can be accompanied by experiences of loss; loss of appetite, money, function, energy, employment, relationships, and oftentimes pleasure. This psychological distress can be rooted in fear, guilt, loneliness, disappointment, anger, resentment, and simple dissatisfaction.

Taking the step to start therapy can be difficult and filled with mixed emotions; everybody deserves the best chance in the game of life.I'm here to help you play the cards you've been dealt-just with a little more intention and strategy. I am a LCMHC, CRC, and a facilitator for MHFA. My years of experience providing individual, child/couple/family, and completing various psychological assessments allows me to keep my focus on my client, their needs, and the ebbs and flows of life. It is my hope to help the person's life become more manageable, instead of life managing the person.

I’ve been in the mental health field for over 20 years and have been providing clinical care since 2011. I’ve worked with first responders crisis settings and provided services to first responders in a therapeutic environment. I work a lot with domestic violence, sexual trauma, and human trafficking. I pull from several modalities including CBT, trauma-focused CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solutions focused, strength-based, and reality therapy. I like working with people who are motivated to improve their lives. Because I work with such a wide range of issues, I can be helpful and supportive in many different areas.

I have had the opportunity to assist people in obtaining their personal goals since 1994.

I have experience in integrating spiritual awareness along with my counseling to help my clients work on and learn to cope and work through their issues. I am committed to providing quality mental health care through a holistic approach to people in need. I believe that all people deserve the opportunity to lead healthy, happy and productive lives.

Since 1992, I have had the honor of accompanying countless individuals in their journey towards living more authentic and satisfying lives. I am convinced that everyone possesses the ability to live their life to its fullest potential. As your counselor, my role is to help awaken you to this dormant power within. I believe that we all function based on the beliefs instilled in us at an early age and are reinforced in various ways throughout our lives. It is when we begin to challenge these "truths" that we experience a great awakening and discover our true self.

My ideal client is someone who is not perfect or doing their best, but someone who is experiencing a difficult time in their life and is willing and motivated. Motivated in the sense of taking the necessary steps to work through any difficulties that you are experiencing. Experiencing depression or anxiety or difficulties with work or anything else, let's work through the issues together.

You can grow and heal, despite what you've been through (think flowers blooming through concrete). You're going to feel so much better once you start digging the rot out and healing. I'm an expert at clearing trauma and anxiety, by rewiring your mind and regulating your nervous system. Not only does trauma get healed and processed, but when hard things come up you they feel easy to navigate and you do so with confidence + ease. I don't believe healing has to be hard or take forever, in fact I believe it can be light + fun. With me, you're gonna work but you're also going to laugh and learn to savor this one wild and precious life.
