Hi! Thank you for visiting my page. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been in the mental health field for almost fifteen years. I enjoy helping people and would like to help you reach your goals. I believe that the most important thing in therapy is the relationship between the client and his/her therapist.

I see a variety of people. My specialties are people with personality disorders, mood disorders, anxiety issues, PTSD, substance use, and LBGTQ transitioning issues. I work with the client to determine their goals and introduce them to different modalities to help them to resolve their issues. Many people need validation and someone that helps them restructure how they think along with working with desensitizing their nervous system which reduces anxiety and their ability to live their life to the fullest. I feel that everyone is trying to do the best they can and, at the same time, they are looking to improve and change.

You are ready to create, maintain, and evaluate boundaries to build a solid foundation for happy relationships. You are someone who is ready to make a lasting change in your life. You're done falling into the same pitfalls. I'm a solution-focused and trauma informed therapist who aims to help you start feeling better as soon as possible. Once you have found relief from some of your symptoms of anxiety/depression, we can begin working on finding the root causes of the thinking and behaving patterns that hold you back.

Let me help you take the journey within. Although a generalist, I have extensive experience and training in the treatment of pornography, sex and other addictions and helping significant others. I enjoy working with clients who want to better understand themselves. I am a good listener with natural empathy, providing a safe and peaceful environment for your journey of self exploration.

You might be seeking therapy because you feel like no one has your back, that you just can't handle how much crap keeps pilling up on you, because you doubt your ability to manage the craziness of life, the heaviness of it, the complications of family that you love, but who don't always treat you with love and care, you feel weighed down by "failures" and unable to see your strength and successes despite surviving one hard thing after another, and often with limited or poor support. Or maybe you just feel broken and that no one else cares. The truth is most people aren't broken. They may have hearts or minds that have been sprained, but with the right treatment, they can heal. When people come to see me who feel that "no one cares about them" I'm always reminded of how important it is that AT LEAST ONE PERSON cares...and the fact that they got to my office tells me that the MOST important person they can have rooting for them in their life CARES - THEY CARE. They care enough to get the support they need. And that's the first step to widening that circle to create healthy connections so that they don't have to carry that care alone.

This is your journey, let's make it more relevant! Being human is intrinsically linked to the need to adapt and evolve. To survive in ancestral environments, we had to develop ways to cope with the outside world, but what happens when modern civilization no longer poses a threat to your survival? Perhaps the answer to many of your questions is found in this theory. During your treatment, we will explore the causes and and mechanisms that make your problems what they are today, identify a plan to confront and resolve those issues, and develop better coping skills to protect you from intrusive mental illnesses. Welcome to therapy!

Coping with the issues of life can be overwhelming, scary, and seemingly unendurable. I want to ask you to let me help you. You do not have to do this alone. I am dedicated to creating a safe, trusting, and nonjudgmental environment that allows clients to freely share their struggles. I desire for my clients to encounter wholeness as they navigate through their own life journey. The ability to change is embedded in every person, and I want to assist you in getting the healthy tools to make positive change. Reach out to me today, so we can start the journey together.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 10 years experience working in mental health. I enjoy working with teens and adults who are ready to work on issues that have a negative impact on their lives. I love providing skills & tools that are research based and effective.

Are you a human? Great! You can benefit from therapy. Only semi-joking. On a real note, if you are anxious, depressed, stressed, unable to sleep at night, scared, mentally absent, have low self-esteem, experience flashbacks, nightmares/terrors, misuse substances or have a loved one that missuses substances, have difficulty focusing and staying on task and/or have a child that has ADHD, experience anger outbursts and/or abrupt mood changes, carry around childhood wounds from which you have never healed, have difficulty adjusting from a life-changing event, or are riding out the waves of grief, then you are a good fit for therapy.

I work primarily with individual adults and couples who are experiencing difficulties ranging from major mental illness to situational problems that are interferring with their daily living. My work with clients is designed to determine the most effective approach to assist them in reaching their goals in developing a healthy and satisfying life. I am experienced in working with individuals with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and substance abuse as well as indiviuals who additionally are experiencing a personality disorder. In couple's therapy I address communication patterns that cause roadblocks to the couple's ability to build a healthy and close relationship.

Our therapeutic experience will be a more interactive one. Whether you want to chat about current stressors, or have made the decision to work seriously on long-term goals for personal improvement in your emotional life, we will work together to determine where best to begin. In addition to working with clients around traditional counseling concerns such as depression, grief, loss, anxiety, stress, and addiction, I also focus on other challenges clients face.

At one point or another every person faces difficulties in their life, especially in today’s world. With over 60,000 thoughts a day, most of which are negative, it is hard to combat the emotional distress that builds over time. My specialty is helping you build tools that can assist you in working through those difficulties on an individual level or within a dynamic relationship. I offer a compassionate, supportive and unbiased environment to explore life’s difficulties.

I believe the foundation of healing and recovery begins with a strong therapeutic relationship where a safe environment can be a gateway to transformation and reaching one's full potential. I have a passion for instilling hope and assisting clients to recognize their strengths as I walk alongside of them in their journey towards healing. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I believe there are many facets to healing and I take a holistic approach where mind, body and spirit align, which can foster lasting healing.

I am licensed in North Carolina as a Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with over 15 years experience. My practice includes working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, self esteem, addiction & other mental illness so they can live a healthy productive life. My practice is based on CBT, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy through a strengths perspective. I believe that a significant piece to therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. I work in collaboration with the client to identify and help achieve the overall desired goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received my advanced clinical training working with adolescents, children and families at the Yale Child Study Center, a department of Yale University Medical School in New Haven, Connecticut. When addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, AD/HD, parent-child conflict, couple/marital issues, trauma, and/or substance abuse/addictions, I apply a variety of treatment modalities and therapeutic interventions to best address the individual situation.

In the stressful world we live in today, it is not hard to lose connection with a sense of inner peace. Undertaking the challenge of therapy can help you to restore balance in your life. You can heal your pain, broaden your perspective, understand your emotional reactions, and break old habits and patterns. I will do my best to provide a safe, comfortable environment in which to explore your concerns. My goal is to help you to understand and accept yourself more fully, to heal from the past, learn skills for coping with distressing symptoms and to get more satisfaction out of your relationships.
