Therapists in Henderson County, NC

Ever find yourself repeating the same unhealthy patterns over and over again? Reading all of the blogs, listening to all the podcasts, memorizing Brené Brown quotes? Feeling like part of you “knows” something, while another part “feels” differently? “I know I shouldn’t allow people to treat me this way, but I feel like if I speak up, they’ll leave me.” Most of what we struggle with today comes from beliefs we developed long ago - beliefs that may have protected us, or helped us make sense of our world at that time. Sometimes these beliefs create a pattern of behavior that is no longer helpful.

It's time to get up, but the day ahead feels too overwhelming. You've missed out on so much, and you worry what will happen next and what everyone will think. You feel powerless to change, and you’re so tired of trying things that don’t work. No one understands why you can’t just move forward, and you may feel completely alone. I want you to know that you’re not crazy, and things don't have to be like this forever. My clients report a deeper level of healing as they feel more connected to their bodies, experience more ease in their daily lives, and re-discover their strength and resilience.

Has life ever kicked you down and as you were trying to recover from the setback, it felt as though no matter what you did or do, you just can't seem to get back up again? Thoughts and feelings of 'being stuck' ever cross your mind? As we go through life, it can be easy to look for things to blame our struggles on, and as we continue to build these expectations, it's as if we were never in control in the first place! Shifting thoughts, feelings, and perspectives about certain events that happen to us can be an extraordinary challenge; a process that can sometimes take many weeks, months, or even years. And that's okay!

People often enter therapy during times of emotional pain, uncertainty or at a time when they are seeking more meaning in their lives. Each person has within them a powerful impulse toward growth and healing. I trust that impulse and trust the therapeutic relationship to reveal your strengths, wisdom, and the next steps to your growth and healing. There is something of value in even the most difficult circumstances. When these circumstances are approached with an openness to learning, major transformations can take place. I find that the willingness to look inside yourself is a key factor in your healing.

Navigating the complexities of life can be a daunting task, especially when accompanied by intrusive thoughts and feelings of inadequacy.

Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, fostering self-awareness, and harnessing your inner resilience. Let's collaborate to cultivate healthier relationships, navigate life's transitions, and uncover the authentic self within you or your child.

People often think psychotherapy is only for crises. However research shows that therapy is one of the best investments you can make for life satisfaction and growth. In addition to therapy are other modalities that support healing and growth. Some of these holistic wellness tools include exercise, mindfulness, tai chi and yoga. I have a rich background in the application of mindfulness to promote healing and growth, and have experience integrating tools such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT, CBT, Hypnosis and EMDR. I also find authenticity and humor essential for healing and use both liberally.

I believe in the power of connection. To self, to others, to the world around us. The stories we tell ourselves and the experiences we have do a great job of interfering with those connections. I work to support people by defining the values, relationships, and expectations that drive us. I enjoy working with young adults, adolescents and their families to explore the beliefs, fears, and anxieties that derail us from making those connections that give our lives purpose. I also love getting outside while we do it. Virtual sessions in the back yard or a walk and talk at the park? Frisbee gulf? Putt Putt? Paddleboard?

Life can present challenges, some we live with every day, and others seem to come out of nowhere. Maybe life doesn't follow along a path we've spent years creating and working toward. The business of living can begin to feel like a grind, and simple tasks may create exhaustion, fear, and uncertainty. Unresolved and painful childhood memories seem to revisit out of nowhere, and even though you've worked and wished, or prayed about the pain, the pain lingers. We often resign ourselves to perceiving life as a chore instead of a joyful experience, which can lead to a lack of fulfillment and even chronic illness.

Counseling is such meaningful and rewarding work and I am so grateful that I get to do it. My goal is to always be growing as a person right alongside you and to always approach my work with a sense of openness and curiosity rather than judgment. After all, we’re just two humans talking about being human. My hope is that you can learn to further embrace your humanness and leave behind your shame in the process. While talk therapy can be extremely valuable, I recognize that there are some problems that conventional talk therapy can’t quite reach, which is why I typically use a more experiential, trauma-focused approach to counseling.

I believe that anyone can benefit from counseling. Regardless of your reason for seeking counseling, I would like the opportunity to work with you. I offer a counseling approach that uses proven techniques combined with a Christian perspective that looks to God's word for wisdom and understanding. If you are seeking a mental health professional that is also a practicing follower of Christ, I invite you to reach out.

I find great joy in working with clients of all ages and stages. I am glad to come along side a client who desires to move forward in peace. I have experience working through anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep issues, impulsivity, emotional reactivity and mood regulation. *At this time I am no longer accepting new child/adolescent clients.

Our culture is one that has taught us that certain emotions should be avoided at all costs. My belief is that no feelings are "bad", and we were made to feel all of them. As a therapist, I work to destigmatize the assumptions that accompany mental health diagnoses, with a focus on helping those working through trauma. Re-integrating the whole self into a post-pandemic world is a transitional experience that invite the whole gamut of emotions to be felt. We all have light and dark inside of us, but we are not our thoughts or feelings. Pain is an innate part of being human, but it is my belief that we do not have to struggle alone.

My calling and expertise is to help women better manage anxiety, worry, and stress in order to cultivate and connect with their inner peace and joy. The pace of life seems to quicken with time, along with the multiple demands to be a good mom, wife, woman, and professional. It can seem impossible to find moments of rest and happiness while balancing “all of the things”. I have found that when women try to "do it all" it can lead to burnout, resentment, depression, and chronic illness. Are your nerves shot? Are you tired but wired? Are you struggling to reign-in unhealthy habits? You've come to the right place!

Are you looking for ways to cope, heal and grow in your life? Do you want to enhance your relationships, manage depressed or anxious feelings, or heal the hurt of a loss? For forty years, people of all ages have found effective ways to make life changes through their work with me. You will find a rich range of clinical experience to help you.

I believe in our resiliency and seeking out a life worthy of living for each of us. Most of us have experienced some kind of trauma throughout our developmental life span. Finding a life of meaning and purpose with loving connections brings about unity and wholehearted living. Learning valuable skills allows us to be able to live our best lives.
