Elders (65+) Therapists in Oak Island, NC

New Office Location: 8128 River Road Southport, NC 28461 Welcome to my page! My passion is working with seniors 55 and older and adolescents 6-17 who are facing life challenges.

My goal is to help you find peace and healing as you face life's struggles. Therapy is your space to let go, think out loud, learn and grow. It's a place just for you; a place to address your needs and goals.

I believe that every human being has the potential to live a healthy, satisfying, and abundant life, aligned with his or her values. My intention is to create a safe, secure, and comfortable atmosphere where I will develop with you, my client, a warm, trusting, cooperative, and mutually respectful relationship. Then, within the context of that relationship, we will explore the pressures/conflicts you are experiencing; what you have learned, during your lifetime, about how to respond to life events; how your particular personality figures into your current concerns; how you feel about your current concerns; and how you express those feelings.

You know it's possible to have an intimate and very satisfying relationship but perhaps you just don't know how to get there. You've tried in the past and most likely have a history of relationships that, shall we say, were less than optimal. You're wondering what role you play in either making them work or fail and going forward you're committed not to repeat what you know doesn't work. I understand. Sometimes you've even felt a little crazy in conversations with your partner and have been made to feel guilty for wanting more. I know. Here's the truth. You're not crazy for wanting more. Let's learn what works to make it happen!

My joy is supporting others in coming back to themselves and ultimately to their connection with others and with the divine. Whether exploring the patterns developed during our conception, birth or early life, or connecting with the body’s wisdom, there is a way we can be with what is happening that allows us to integrate what is most essential. Slowing down, finding your rhythm, tuning in to what you are needing and wanting for yourself, being curious…some sessions are deeply restorative, some profound or surprising, some simply provide the necessary structure for living fully in this 3-D world.

I believe that all people have strengths, and that no matter what they are struggling with, their strengths need to be used to find their solutions. Most people can find their own solutions, and may just need a trained professional in order to guide them towards options. It can be difficult to ask for help with personal issues, but it is also a sign of strength and can lead to positive changes.

If you worry constantly, feel a loss of control in life, and you want to feel confident when you wake up in the morning then I can support you to make changes in your life. Anxiety is something we are born with, sometimes we can manage, and other times we cannot. I can assist with decreasing anxiety symptoms by targeting the root of the anxiety. Let's explore the culprit of your current symptoms and develop an understanding of the culprit so the culprit doesn't control your life. Let me support you and help you regain control of you.
