Therapists in Orange County, NC
If you are struggling with relationships and life changing events, if you feel trapped in a never ending feeling of helplessness or anger, I can help you find your path back to a stable and safe place. For almost 20 years, I have guided patients to reflection and introspection, where I have empowered them to use the appropriate tools to manage, control and overcome their depression, their overwhelming feelings of loss or self destruction. Sadly enough, these are all to common life struggles arisen from work stress and/or abuse, life changes such as divorce and separation, or remains of a lost childhood.

I see the purpose of therapy as supporting people in becoming the person they want to be and in living the life they want to live. To get there, things that do not serve - such as trauma, outdated beliefs, attachment issues - need to be examined and healed. Stressors and anxiety needs to be addressed. This is the path we travel together.
Key areas of focus for my practice are grief, addiction / recovery, aging, and soulful living, although many of my clients are outside these particular categories but are motivated by the possibility of the life that calls to them.

I support my clients by helping to build skills and tools to help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, as well as generational/past trauma and everyday life stressors. I enjoy partnering with clients in doing the emotional work that is often difficult but sometimes necessary to wade through. I believe in working collaboratively with clients to pursue a life that they feel is meaningful and worthwhile. Most of all, everyone deserves to have a nonjudgemental place where they feel safe and heard.
