Therapists Beginning With K in North Carolina

I'm happy to see you here! I have experience working with individuals of all ages, and particularly enjoy working through a family systems lens. My early work was in community mental health, providing therapy in individuals' homes, schools, and other treatment facilities. I have spent time working with trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment issues, generational trauma, and identity issues.

There is no better time than now to start your healing journey. I have a passion for helping people and desire to create a comfortable, safe environment for people to come just as they are and process the burdens they carry. I recognize how brave of a step it is to reach out for help and my approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I believe that each person’s story is unique and deserves to be heard and understood. 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.

Taking new clients - It is my privilege to work with individuals who courageously look for hope. I seek to embark with clients on gentle heroic journeys toward change, and finding rest so old wounds might become scars of life to empower a stronger sense of self and a more hopeful future. I provide trained and experienced professional services with a warm, calm, compassionate presence as I assist individuals and couples. I join with individuals whose lives are interrupted by anger, perfectionism, loss, life stage or career changes, health concerns, intrusive thoughts, behaviors, or betrayal injury, on first or next steps.

I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth! I'm passionate about helping individuals live more fulfilling, happier lives every day through their own decisions, on their own terms. I believe that each client is on a unique journey with their own specific needs, and I tailor my approach to be as helpful as possible to each individual person. I work mostly with adults dealing with depression and anxiety, and have done so for 6+ years. For the past 3 years I have also enjoyed working with individuals struggling with fertility, postpartum/perinatal depression/anxiety, miscarriage, and infant loss.

I specialize in women’s health and wellness, with a passion for maternal mental health. I believe there is a strong need for more parental support, no matter what the family unit looks like. From family planning to pregnancy to infancy - all the way until the kiddos "leave the nest", the journey carries unique highs and lows. Having outside support can help!

*My Practice is currently full.* I began a search over 20 years ago that allowed me to experience healing in ways that honor the entire human being -not just the mind. My approach is one that honors each client's strengths and path towards wholeness. I empower clients towards their own self-healing. My work is integrative - utilizing mindfulness and inviting the soul/spirit, mind & body to drive the process of therapy. I specialize in non-pathologizing therapies. I strive to create an atmosphere of safety first and foremost. I feel that spirituality is an integral part of the healing process.

Change is hard, but worth it. Clients can expect an empathic and caring, but no-nonsense, approach to tackling issues. I specialize in Military/Veteran issues, anxiety and trauma treatment to clients residing anywhere in TX, NC & AK. No travel required! I provide a non-judgmental atmosphere that enables frank, honest discussions that promote change. I have a good history with clients seeking out initial care as well as those who have been unsuccessful with other therapists. I do not accept insurance, as I believe care should be authentic and person-centered without coding or billing guidelines dictating care.

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.

Do you feel stuck? Reaching out for help may seem frightening, but is a sign of strength. My role as a therapist is to help you rediscover yourself or the parts of you that you've lost. The therapy room is a good place to sift through negative thoughts and disturbing emotions. I believe in the interpersonal process of therapy, the value of the therapeutic relationship, and in working with an individual on a holistic basis, to help him or her alleviate stress and regain a sense of personal freedom.

It’s no secret that life can be messy and I believe that you can either learn from it, laugh about it, or cry about it– all of which are appropriate responses depending on the situation. I find importance in connecting behavioral and cognitive patterns to past experiences, and learning how to move forward and create the future you envision. I don’t shy away from the hard or messy, so you may find that I too show up authentically to assist with verbalizing and exploring the intensity of the human experience.

Do you often feel uncertain, unsure of yourself, seek validation and approval from others, unable to cope with life transitions, family conflict, depression, divorce, separation from love ones, death of a love one or need a trusted professional to talk to, well welcome! You have taken the first step to discovering your patterns to transform into healing.

Life often does not turn out as hoped for or expected. It can be difficult to navigate amidst feelings of isolation, sadness, anxiety, and grief. Relationships often suffer as a result of life stressors and the baggage we all bring into them from our own experiences. People want to feel lighter, healthier, and happier which can be achieved through a variety of tools and interventions. Through a combination of both experiential and cognitive approaches, therapy can help to ease the weight of tough times and instill hope and change.

My philosophy is that every person deserves to live an exceptional and joyful life without the hinderance of mental and emotional distress. I believe in people's ability to heal and move past difficulties that may keep them stuck or cause unnecessary suffering.I provide psychodynamic and mindfulness-based psychotherapy. I believe that a whole-person approach to treatment is the best way to combat mental and emotional challenges. Additionally, I provide coaching and wellness services when psychotherapy may not be warranted but help is still needed.

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!

I work with young adults, adults and older adults, and I specialize in helping individuals who are dealing with stress, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, anger, anxiety, depression and chronic health issues.
