Elders (65+) Therapists in Tryon, NC

I work with adults navigating a variety of issues, including chronic pain and chronic illness, dissociative conditions, depression and grief, complex trauma, relationship challenges, searches for meaning, and family of origin concerns. If you have ever felt like an "outsider"—someone misunderstood and/or struggling to fit in—you'll find a home here. Trained in depth psychology, I am an ideal fit for anyone who is engaged in the process of self-understanding, curious about life, and seeking to be known. I believe the potential for deep healing, connection, and revitalization exists within this work.

I strive to provide professional competent clinical counseling that offers encouragement and hope while upholding the time honored value of a genuine commitment to Christ and appreciation for the work God is capable of doing in people's lives. Through gentle appreciation and mutual respect, we collaborate to uncover obstacles to growth and healing. As we journey together, we find healing for the past, wholeness for the present, and a vision for what may be possible for the future. A multi-dimensional non-invasive approach to healing encourages and empowers you and your loved ones to live a beautiful life.

Being charged with a DWI can be an overwhelming event. I am here as an educated and supportive professional to help during this difficult time. As a certified substance abuse counselor with the state of N.C. and owner of Polk County Treatment Services, a N.C. State Authorized DWI Facility, I fully understand many of the challenges that can arise during this emotional time. Most assessments can be scheduled within 24 hours of first contact, with afternoon, evening or weekend appointments made available. Treatment groups are tailored to be compatible with my client's work and personal obligations.

Stress and struggle are universal in nature; we all face obstacles and barriers that sometimes feel insurmountable. My goal, as a therapist, is to help my clients find more effective ways to cope with the issues they face in their daily lives. Whether that issue is related to your family, spouse, school, career, or past trauma, there are ways to move through adversity and find a way to exist peacefully within your world. Areas of focus include mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, grief, emotion regulation, anger management parenting skills, couples and family therapy.

I offer in-depth, insight oriented and compassionate psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups and have been involved in the counseling and mental health field since 1990. My goal is to provide treatment designed to help individuals to identify negative or self-sabotaging thinking patterns and behavior, and to develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships and an enhanced quality of life.
