Therapists Beginning With G in North Carolina

NOTE: Only daytime (BEFORE 3PM) spots currently available. Life is full of challenges, but what happens when those challenges are harder to overcome than you expect? Whether we find ourselves with a mental illness that makes coping harder, or in extreme situations we never thought we'd face, there comes a point where we need a little help. Counseling and therapy can provide that help and get you to the place and person you want to be. It is my goal to help you meet your goals, whether that's overcoming a difficult past, surviving a difficult present, or being able to envision an easier future. We'll get there together!

I’m motivated to help people experiencing stress and life difficulties get through them in the healthiest ways possible. I especially enjoy helping people overcome negative patterns in their relationships, actions, and thinking. We look together at how to build on the strengths you have, even if you don’t recognize them yet, to create a life you look forward to living. If you have challenges in a given area--past hurts, anxiety, mood problems, addictive behaviors, abusive relationships--I can help you develop skills to overcome and manage them so that you can live a freer, more authentic life.

My passion is working with young children who have experienced trauma, specifically child abuse and traumatic grief. I believe death is a part of life and we all grieve differently. I have provided counseling services for young children and adolescents, as well as caregivers and young adults. I have worked with trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, grief, family-dynamics issues, and attachment wounds. I have a passion in attachment-based therapy between child and caregiver. I have also found a passion working with the LGBTQ+ community, specifically teenagers and young adults in the process of finding their sexual identity.

Life can pose many challenges which can cause us to feel and think negatively about ourselves or the world around us. You may be feeling lonely, stuck, sad, angry, or all of the above and ready to break out of that negative cycle. In the therapy room you can expect a welcoming environment where you will be validated and challenged to meet your goals.

I have worked as a social worker for over 25 years and feel most rewarded in assisting those struggling to identify how life holds each of us back, locating the courage to confront barriers to living our best life and managing life transitions. I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma (and in particular adults who have experienced childhood trauma), anxiety disorders, depression and self harm behaviors. I work with mid-life individuals who are learning to navigate stressors particular to the "third act" of life while sustaining a balanced and meaningful life.
