Therapists Beginning With K in North Carolina

My mission as a counselor is to help others heal and grow into a life that feels secure and fulfilling. I promise to provide empathy and truly listen as you navigate the twists and turns of this wildly unpredictable path called life. I believe that there is no right or wrong way to "do life". Instead, I believe we are all just human beings who have different ideas, perspectives, dreams, challenges, and experiences that shape our realities. Together we will explore the barriers that are blocking the path you want to take or preventing you from being fully present and finding peace within yourself.

There is no better time than now to start your healing journey. You deserve that! I have a passion for helping people heal and desire to create a comfortable environment for people to come just as they are and process the burdens they carry. I believe that a therapeutic relationship is such an important part of therapy and I use many effective treatment modalities, such as EMDR, DBT, and CBT to bring lasting change. I consider it a great honor to be able to walk alongside each and every one of my clients.

Many of my clients relate to the experience of feeling "othered", different or as existing outside of culturally-constructed margins. In our increasingly isolationist world, feeling different or other is becoming a common experience. While many things may remind us of our difference, or "non-normativity", in therapy I aim to collaboratively uncover and identify the worth and purpose that I believe exist in all humxn beings. I believe that all concerns, struggles, challenges, curiosities and explorations brought to therapy are related to relationships--the relationship we have with ourselves and other people. Often, clients express a need for deep connection and goals involve enhancing relationships, identifying emotions, coping more effectively with emotions, and nourishing self-worth and confidence. Research on therapeutic effectiveness has repeatedly demonstrated that therapeutic relationship is the principle determinant of positive therapeutic outcome. Thus, when I first meet clients, client-therapist relationship and chemistry is the primary emphasis and catalyst for change.

I have a passion for working with individuals suffering from a variety of mental illnesses and life struggles. My commitment is to work with each individual from a strengths based perspective and utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities to cater to the individual needs of my clients. I believe that each person has a unique set of strengths and needs that are necessary in developing effective, individualized treatment plans. I believe in empowering the individual to realize their own potential and capability in overcoming life struggles.

Hi! I'm so happy you're here. You deserve relationships and a LIFE that brings out the best in you, not the stress in you! Is your gut telling you it's time to work through challenges in relationships, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, or codependence. My approach is grounded in depth therapy, somatic therapy, and mindfulness practices. Relieve trauma with (1) AIT, a softer and less intense modality than EMDR, (2) BrainSpotting, pulls the weeds out of the unconscious for clarity, and/or (3) EMDR, the big guns to rewire what's holding you back.

Are you looking for something deeper out of therapy than feeling emotionally validated or learning to change your thought patterns? If you're like many people I've talked with, you don't want band-aids. You don't want coping skills for your depression, mindfulness exercises for your anxiety or panic - you want to know WHY you're experiencing those challenges in the first place. If you're asking these deeper questions, there's some part of you that is longing for more than just the immediate relief from your symptoms. There is a part of you that desires serious personal growth and transformation. And I want to help you achieve it!

Most people love what they are good at and are good at what they love. I love being a therapist. I have been professionally involved in psychology for 25 years, and it remains one of my principal passions. When I look into my heart and grasp what has mattered most in my life, I have a deep sense of gratitude for the people I've helped. I chose psychology as a profession not only because it matches my temperament but also because it's a profession that can be developed over a lifetime and improved with age and experience.

Maybe you’re here because something is happening in life that is forcing you to slow down, like the loss of a loved one or significant life change. Perhaps what you usually do to unwind and relax isn’t working quite like it use to. You feel distant from yourself, maybe even others. Things are beginning to pile up and feel overwhelming. Something is certain though: you desire relief. You yearn for a sense of calm, a true exhale at the end of the day. You want to find yourself again (or for once) and feel connected to your life and relationships. Most of all, you want to have more hope that things could be different.

Today's world is complicated and confusing. In addition to the perennial struggle for a healthy balance between work and home life, now we also have to contend with social media, a constant barrage of negative news, post-pandemic concerns, and overwhelming societal change. But amazing things happen when we open our hearts and our minds to each other and share honestly in a trusting and loving environment. I believe in listening without judgement, uniting in empathy, and helping clients build upon their strengths and resiliencies so they can rediscover joy.
