Therapists in Five Points, Raleigh, NC

Life can be full of twists and turns; sometimes we need help navigating them. I would be honored to support you and collaborate with you in working towards your own unique needs and goals. I provide therapy to adolescents, adults, and couples with primary focuses in anxiety disorders, relationship issues, depression, trauma, eating disorders, body image concerns, spirituality, work and life transitions. My work with couples draws from the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I take a holistic approach that considers the whole person when addressing mental health concerns.

Are you looking for something to be different in your life? Do you want to change your life situation, solve a problem, make a major decision, or gain a better understanding of what is happening in your life or relationships? Through counseling, I will provide a person-centered and cognitive behavioral perspective. This means I view counseling as a process by which I help to facilitate my client's exploration and identification of their needs to assist them in making changes in their cognition and behaviors, which will result in the attainment of improved life satisfaction and self-acceptance.

Relationships require work. You may be working hard, but if that work is destructive -- such as excessive conflict, worry, negativity, blaming or guilt, these actions and thoughts are breaking down, not building, healthy relationships. I concentrate on developing and sustaining positive motivation and behavior. In therapy with me, couples and individuals can expect thoughtful, knowledgeable support and direct guidance to make your work constructive. I will lend strength when needed, and, will just as quickly 'call you' on counterproductive behavior. This is a dynamic process.

It is inevitable that we will face difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Perhaps you have found yourself turning to self-defeating patterns to try and escape the pain. This avoidance can take many forms such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, substance use, and shame. It can feel scary to ask for help during crisis, but you are one step closer to starting your healing journey. I provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults with primary focuses in anxiety disorders, chronic pain, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and interpersonal concerns.

I believe in the possibility of change. Our personality, intelligence, creativity, and ability to cope are mutable and adaptable. The world around us is complicated and nuanced, and our ability to react to it has the potential to be the same. My job is to help you develop flexibility and acceptance in a way that assists you in reaching your goals while being true to your authentic self. I focus on building resilience and coping skills and identifying and enhancing secure attachments

Accepting New Clients: I believe we all have the right to feel fulfilled, balanced, and whole. Life can get challenging sometimes, leaving us feeling stuck, lost, and even exhausted.

I work with a generation of achievers. From a young age, you're taught to shoot for excellence in academia and extracurricular activities; you have to work twice as hard to get half as far, right? This high-pressure environment didn’t stop when you reached adulthood. You have worked hard to obtain the career, licenses, and status that you want; but it can feel empty at times. There is a race against the social clock that feels like it can’t be won, constant comparisons through social media, and anxiety to maintain the mask of happiness hiding burnout in your personal and professional life.

Accepting New Clients., What kind of person do you really want to be? For yourself, for your relationships, for your community? What is getting in the way? I partner with individuals and couples that want a life of peace and purpose. I can not erase pain and hardship, however, I can provide guidance in creating the life YOU want in the midst of life’s inevitable ups and downs. From the beginning we will clarify your goals and practice skills together in order to bring the changes you desire.

None of us get through life unscathed. Disappointments, loss and trauma can leave us wondering how we'll achieve the goals we once held for ourselves, or maybe just how to get through the day. Pain, self-doubt, and fear are universal. But the irony is, turning away from these things makes them grow. Rather, by finding the courage and safe space to face them for what they are, feelings and thoughts, we can loosen their grip. I can offer you this support, and I invite you to rediscover the fulfilling life that is waiting for you. I

Change can be difficult for many people but wanting to feel better is a start. I believe that challenges lead to growth and an opportunity to live a more fulfilling life.

I work with individuals and groups to lessen the impact of trauma; develop healthy boundaries and coping skills; improve relationships and communication skills; and increase self-esteem/self-acceptance.
