Therapists in Mebane, NC

Whether dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, trouble in relationships, or difficult transitions or changes, you and I will work together to discover ways to create space in your life to allow for healing, acceptance, psychological flexibility, and growth. My goal is to create a safe place for you to explore the difficult parts of your mind and foster self-compassion and self-acceptance. Together, we will explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that create barriers to healing and change.

On the surface; you seem fine, but inside, you have a self-critical voice that won’t let up. You have a lot of feelings that you feel deeply. This can be a strength but it can also leave you feeling confused about why others don't see what you see. Others may have told you that you are too sensitive but you also may be the person that they come to for advice or support. Maybe you have been hesitant to try counseling because you feel that you should be able to figure this out yourself.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the therapy community for the past 10+ years. I create a safe, comfortable environment to share and explore the thoughts and areas of your life you want to change. My goal is to help you identify the challenges in your life and guide you through the necessary steps with appropriate therapeutic modalities to improve your situation, give you a better quality of life, and foster hope. I am a dedicated therapist and social worker who treats each individual client with care, respect, and very specific treatment approaches in order to suit your particular needs.

I specialize in treating people with health problems, pain, and illness with evidenced based approaches (e.g., CBT and hypnosis). In our work together we will focus on the present and identifying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns that are getting in your way and preventing you from living the life that you want. I view the therapeutic relationship as highly collaborative, with give and take on both sides. I listen to and care about what you are thinking and feeling. I do my best to be accessible and supportive, and expect you to be honest, involved and active in your treatment.

"Every person I serve has a unique story. I have found that, while some clients experience trouble in just one area, most are experiencing difficulty in two or more areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life."

Gender and sexuality define who we are, the way we love, and how we connect with others. Diverse and, therefore, controversial, our gender and our sexuality are too often handled without acknowledgment of the power they hold. I work with marginalized identifies, including but not limited transgender, non-binary, intersexed, gay, lesbian, bisexual and non-monogamy. The focus of therapy on the client's self defined needs, along with specialized services of Hormone Replacement Therapy support and documentation.

I am a psychodynamically-oriented psychotherapist that works with individuals experiencing relational difficulties and/or disruptions in their overall sense of self, oftentimes resulting in emerging or worsening psychological symptoms. I aid individuals in exploring the mental compromises that have contributed to their symptoms, revealing or revisiting underlying conflicts, and reworking them in the context of the therapeutic situation. In respecting the complexity of those that work with me, I do not provide instruction on how to think or behave "rationally." Instead, I engage deeply with their internal world, nurturing growth in themselves and with others.

We all strive to find our way in a difficult world. Yet many people find themselves feeling alone and misunderstood. I specialize in helping people with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and legal issues. I work primarily with adults and adolescents and am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I am currently not accepting new client referrals. My greatest pleasure is in seeing the people I work with grow, develop new skills, and make choices that bring more joy into their lives and into the lives of their families. I consult with parents to improve discipline and strengthen the parent-child relationship. I also specialize in working with adolescents who are trying to navigate the social and academic pressures that come with secondary school, often working with parents and their teens to foster better communication and trust.

As far as most people know you have a great life, but deep down you know something is missing. You feel anxious, guilty, overwhelmed, resentful and exhausted. Despite your achievements, your life is not fulfilling. You don't feel "good enough." You feel empty. Your life has become an overscheduled calendar and endless to do list. This isn't the life you dreamed of but you're not sure where to start. It's time to make a change. You deserve to live a fulfilled and authentic life.
