Emotionally Focused Therapists in Orange County, NC
Adolescence & young adulthood can be a rocky time for many people, but I believe therapy can be of great help. I work with youth struggling primarily with mood, identity, and neurodivergence. My goals are to help young people build their strengths and relationships in order to find happiness and success as emerging adults. Some of the things I treat are: depression, self-harm, anxiety, family conflict, gender dysphoria, and transition to young adulthood stress. Generally I practice strengths-based therapy and dialectal-behavior therapy (DBT) within a caring, humanistic approach.

I also draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT) to explore how attachment styles and emotional patterns contribute to disconnection and conflict.

People's reasons for seeking therapy are as varied as the individuals themselves. For some, therapy is part of a broader approach to life in which insight and inner work are seen as core elements to living well and expansively. For others, the step to seek therapy is taken out of pain and suffering and after much deliberation. At times our internal experiences are so painful, they prevent us from fully engaging in our lives and relationships. Therapy can help you learn to hold with care and confidence all your thoughts, feelings and memories while moving through life in a meaningful way.

I'm trained in numerous modalities (TBRI, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, EMDR, etc) but what makes me the most effective is being a card carrying member of the human race.
Has your life taken an unexpected detour? Maybe it's a chaotic relationship, unrelating anxiety or navigating difficult family dynamics. Whatever your struggles might be, fighting these battles on your own can be difficult, painful and sometimes overwhelming. However, there is an incredible amount of power in a strong therapeutic relationship where you can process life with someone who desires to fully understand you with a lens of compassion and empathy. I have NC & Illinois locations.

Tired of coping? Feeling unseen in the relationships that matter most? Carrying old hurts or self-doubt? Longing for more balance, connection, meaning? When life feels smaller than it should, many turn to therapy for support. In my view, therapy is less about fixing what’s broken and more about getting honest, paying attention to what’s not working, and understanding the patterns, stories, and emotional truths that shape how you live and relate. I work with individuals and couples in a collaborative, depth-oriented approach, helping you live a life in deeper alignment with what matters most to you.

The clients I serve find themselves being negatively impacted by unfortunate experiences in their lives. The three most prevalent commonalities are anxiety, stress, and prolonged feelings of sadness or depression. These symptoms can be accompanied by experiences of loss; loss of appetite, money, function, energy, employment, relationships, and oftentimes pleasure. This psychological distress can be rooted in fear, guilt, loneliness, disappointment, anger, resentment, and simple dissatisfaction.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple 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.

Does your relationship feel like a constant source of worry and uncertainty? You’ve noticed a growing emotional distance with your partner, and you find yourself holding back your concerns—afraid of conflict, disappointing them, or making things worse. Every time you try to speak up, your mind goes blank and your heart races. Lately, you’ve been feeling unappreciated. You wonder if your partner even cares, or if there’s something deeper at play. You’re losing sleep and it feels like your heart is breaking. You want to move forward but feel lost and alone, wishing for someone who truly understands and can help.
