Are you feeling stuck as a result of past trauma? Are your relationships, career and/or self-esteem negatively impacted by your trauma history? Trauma isn't always the "big T" trauma we think of when we hear the word "trauma". It can be caused by any ongoing situation that causes distress, fear, and a sense of helplessness. This can happen in your family of origin, a relationship or even a workplace setting. The good news is that the rest of the story is unwritten. You can heal. Processing trauma with a skilled, supportive clinician can help you transform anxiety, fear and shame into connection, wellness and purpose.

I offer counseling for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and women's issues.

One of my favorite quotes by Melody Beattie conveys the essence of our counseling relationship: “Learn to listen to your inner voice. Listen to your heart. It’s your connection to God, to people, to the universe, and to yourself." My goal is to create a safe and positive environment allowing you an opportunity to explore and grow in self-awareness as you learn more about how to identify new strategies and cope with your circumstances in healthy ways. I believe in the power of individuals to change as they work toward common goals with their therapist, drawing upon person-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches.

I work with clients who are dealing with different issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Together we set goals in order to overcome or manage the obstacles that each issue brings.

I believe in the power of experience and self-discovery to lead towards living a better life.

My career has been centered in guiding folks through difficult life transitions, peer issues, family conflict, and challenges in school, home, and in outdoor settings.

Hello! I have been trained in Play Therapy, EMDR, PTSD, and Trauma Therapy and specialize in anxiety and depression. I have been in the mental health field since 2007 and have an office located near Hanes Mall in Winston Salem. Most clients find my approach gentle, compassionate and involved. I try to leave you with something in each session, instead of "just listening." You can expect to be accepted where you are, to feel safe, and to be an active participant in your unique journey as we move at your own pace.

Are you ready for a change? Then, you do not have to do this alone! I am a passionate and empathetic therapist prepared to take this journey with you. My approach is based on the premise that people are inherently good and can change when given the proper coping skills, resources, and opportunities for self-actualization. I believe the client/therapist relationship is an essential factor in therapy. I have experience leading clients through their concerns with anxiety, depression, major life decisions, challenging life transitions, trauma, anger, adjustment issues, career-related issues, and maternal mental health.

We all have times when we struggle with feelings of being sad, anxious or depressed, grieving over the loss of a loved one, going through a transition in life, having low self-esteem, experiencing relationship problems, or just feeling low or "off." These and other forms of conflict can be overwhelming.

In my work as a therapist, I strive to promote positive change.

Hello - I’m glad our paths have crossed! My name is Chaka (yes, like Chaka Khan), and my goal is to work with you to overcome obstacles and issues that are interfering with your progress and passion in life. Resolving conflict, repairing relationships, healing from past trauma, building self-esteem, reversing dysfunctional patterns all assist in reaching this goal. I truly believe that, although people get hurt in relationships, it is also through relationships that people can heal. Change is not easy, but it is attainable and sustainable. As you embark on your healing journey, I will be here to see you through it.

When working with my client's I understand there is not a one-size-fits all kind of treatment, and try to tailor to my client's needs as much as possible. Ultimately, I want to try to help you help yourself so you can be independent as possible, but have some guidance when it comes to figuring out life challenges so you do not have to face them alone.

I take special pride in providing individual therapy to adult clients who are overfunctioners or perfectionists in the face of stress, those who demonstrate compassion towards others but have difficulty extending the same compassion to themselves, individuals who feel stretched thin by the demands of their life, those who wish to explore their relationship with drugs and/or alcohol or have a loved one with a substance use issue, and individuals impacted by trauma. Clients often work with me to address their anxiety (including OCD), depression, substance use, stress related to life changes, and relational difficulties.

The therapy room is a place that is emotionally safe. It is a space free of judgment. Working with clients who are ready to show up for themselves authentically is a benefit for me being a therapist. No matter how, what or who causes our ‘wounds’, it is our responsibility to be intentional and work towards healing.
