Couples Counseling Therapists in Matthews, NC

Life in general, can be challenging. I believe in the healing power of telling your story in a judgement-free environment where you feel safe. Research consistently shows it is the quality of the therapeutic relationship , more than any other factor including the method of therapy, predicting the clients’ ability to use therapy to help themselves and make positive life changes. Therapy does not always solve the problems brought to it, but the best chance for success is when there is a strong therapeutic relationship . To me, the critical foundation of our counseling relationship is a partnership based on mutual respect and honesty.

Research has found that happiness is one of the most effective health interventions.

I am a couples and adults’ specialist. My focus is on those struggling with concerns related to relationships, intimacy issues, pre marital concerns, anxiety, poor communication skills, depression, low self-esteem, co-parenting, and life transitions. I thrive in couples work but also enjoy working with young adults (18+). In this stage of life there is a need for balancing newfound independence, friendships, romantic relationships, identity, work, job/school stress. Together we can work towards exploring interests, and working through past trauma, to promote a healthier future.

Throughout my career (so far) I have witnessed many individuals struggle and wrestle with their mental health and their faith. There is a stigma that rests within the church and mental health that is still present today so many Christians are faced with masking their mental health. I am here to say that this should not be. You can struggle with mental health concerns and remain a believer and child of God. I am here to meet you where you are at and work through your symptoms, one step at a time. I also have found that people forego their mental health due to financial strains. You don't have to do that with me. Give me a call.

I work with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, a wide range of relationship issues (including marital, pre-marital, divorce and singleness), chronic illness, grief and also offer career assessment and counseling.

Stress is inevitable, it's how we respond to it that matters. While stress can be a catalyst for spiritual, physical, and emotional growth, it impacts our well-being. During stressful times, it's important to recognize emotional and physical changes. Often, we neglect our internal experiences because of the fear of pain. When we avoid the pain, we essentially shut ourselves off from growth. My goal is to support you through challenging times, allowing you to open fully to the present moment by incorporating compassion-oriented & mindfulness-based strategies to withstand the suffering and lean into a growth mindset.
