Overwhelmed? We can be overwhelmed by many things; work/family demands, grief, romantic relationships, health, traumatic events, and so on. Sometimes, even when we feel like we SHOULD be happy, we are not. At Bonne Journée PLLC, I take a "Big Picture" approach to help empower clients to sort out what is meaningful and helpful in their lives.

I help people throughout NC struggling with infertility cope with the stress & emotional pain of infertility without feeling like everything is out of control. My clients struggle like you do. When they first come in, they feel alone & isolated. No one seems to understand what they are going through. They avoid their friends with kids, baby showers, & feel like they’ll scream if they see another baby announcement. Their relationship with their partner is suffering. What was once intimate & fun has turned into work. Every month is a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with hope, disappointment, anger, & sadness.

I love my work with children, teens, and families. I am driven by my passion to help others discover their potential by using individualized methods to fit the needs of those I work with. I have found that many couples get lost in the day-to-day activities losing track of each others needs. I enjoy helping couples learn new skills that can help them reconnect and learn to navigate life stages together. Children and teens are faced with many societal pressures that can be challenging for adults to understand. By working collaboratively the discovery of healthy communication can benefit families.

What brings people to therapy? A sense that something's not right, the desire to stop feeling sad, worried or angry, and the desire to have an objective listener with no agenda other than to help do what's right for you. I believe people can make more effective choices and improve the quality of their lives if they have a better understanding of themselves and how they relate/react to the outer world. With more than 30 years of experience in clinical psychology, I've seen over and over again how would be "obstacles" have revealed personal strengths and opened new doors.

Let’s begin preparing for tomorrow, today. As a clinician my hope is to foster a therapeutic environment that prepares us for an improved tomorrow. When engaging you, your child, and/or your family in outpatient therapy, I have every intention of creating a treatment approach that is fully tailored to achieve your goals and target your needs. There are life challenges, personal struggles, and emotional difficulties that impact our daily living. That is where I come in. Individualizing therapeutic interventions is precisely how we will prepare ourselves for the “tomorrows” and make growth along this journey.

You've tried everything else, why not try therapy? Working through relationships is hard and sometimes confusing. We don't always know which direction to go - support ourselves or support others? Meet our needs or help everyone else? It's tempting to believe that one size fits all, or that there is a "right" decision, and then get stuck and not do anything. Relationships require nuance and space to think things through. They need you to give yourself time to think, time to feel things out, and time to get clear about your vision for your relationships.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
