Grief Therapists in King, NC

I provide compassionate, confidential, trauma informed care to teens and adults. Every stage of life comes with unique challenges and victories, and therapy helps people to navigate through these transitions. Anxiety, depression, coping with chronic illness, grief and loss are all treatable conditions that can be reduced or eliminated. You need an opportunity to discuss current concerns with a neutral party and this can be obtained through a therapeutic alliance with a therapist. I strive to really listen to what's important to you so that we can jointly develop a plan just for you.

We believe in the client being the expert on what they need and the power of the therapeutic relationship. We believe in partnering with the client to foster healing, introspection, and growth. We are enthusiastically committed to helping people holistically—integrating mind, body, and spirit. We will work together to develop your short and long-term goals and to continue this collaboration throughout our work together. We utilize an eclectic approach to meet the therapeutic needs of each client. We serve adolescents (15-17), adults (18+), couples, and families. We bring an array of experience to ensure your needs are met.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. As a therapist, I love seeing people grow and make the changes they want to restore balance to their lives. My goal is to help you navigate life's challenges by offering a safe space to share your feelings and to deepen your understanding of your emotional health. I frequently serve clients experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and school and work transitions. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues or just feeling stuck, today you are one step closer to feeling empowered to move forward in your life.

We will reach for a band-aid or a medication without question. If our brain or heart hurts, we feel weak or inadequate, struggling to reach out for help. Mental Health is not seen as important and we stuff our emotions. Pain is just alerting us for a change, to be seen, and new ways to forge through our weaknesses. When we overcome our fears & anxieties -we find our strength, compassion, and then healing. Counseling provides options: putting our pain in the past, moving on to future, and giving hope. Choosing it -is up to you. We look forward to hearing your story and being a part of your healing.

I appreciate the variety and have the skills to help a wide range of patients, but I'm especially useful with patients who've had problems connecting with other therapists. I'm very familiar with physical and sexual abuse, but also with alienation and with spiritual and emotional trauma. Adoption and attachment issues are also a special interest. I'm trained and certified (Level II) in EMDR and DNMS, trauma-based treatments for people whose developmental needs were not met as children. I have extensive experience working with PTSD and dissociative patients, but also with "plain vanilla" folks -- of varying ethnicities -- challenged by difficult circumstances.

My passion is to bring hope and healing to the most difficult of circumstances. Are you suffering with depression or anxiety, going through a divorce or recovering from an abusive relationship? Are you struggling with addiction, grieving, or having trouble with your children/teenagers? Have you fallen out of love with your spouse? Do you find you are having the same arguments but nothing seems to change? Life can be difficult with a solution nowhere in sight.

I believe that healing that takes place with another person present is sacred. I enjoy working with clients at any stage of the healing process, from just starting their journey to feeling confident in their abilities. We will create a safe, supportive environment for you to explore yourself and become the best possible you through listening, education, and creative counseling techniques that are NOT Freud's psychotherapy. I love it when clients bring in questions, ask for homework, and commit to the process of counseling. At the same time, I have worked successfully with numerous clients who weren't so sure about going on their journey yet. If motivation is lacking, I like to provide a sounding board for clients who want to be inspired and empowered to decide what's right for them. I regularly ask my clients to get their hands dirty so that in the future, you will have the tools and coping skills you need to embrace your life. Much of counseling is a "choose your own ending" adventure novel, and when you are up for those twists, I'll be right beside you so you do not have to walk through the dark alone.

Welcome! It's nice to meet you. I work with adults of all ages who are unhappy with their day-to-day quality of life. My primary specialties are anxiety, depression, and grief. Perhaps you want to figure out how to improve your mood, learn coping strategies, and make changes for the better. I believe everyone has the right and the capacity for a vibrant and full life, and I would love to support you on your journey. My goal is to be on your team and to work with you: therapy is a collaborative process.

Working with a therapist should feel safe, and that is one of my top priorities. Some of my clients have had therapists before, and others are brand new to therapy. Many of my clients are working through previous trauma (childhood and adulthood), have experienced loss, and many belong to a marginalized community. Some of my clients benefit from long-term therapy, while others engage in brief therapy to help get back on track to a better quality of life. Wherever you are in this process, I welcome you.
