Therapists in North Carolina

I enjoy working with clients who are ready to make changes in their lives, whether this be around mental health, substance, or couples issues. I also enjoy working with clients who need help in figuring out a direction they want to go with their life.

I have worked with a very diverse population and like to start with what my clients identify as their needs. Though I'm active and make observations and give guidance, I will quickly make it known to you that I want your feedback even if it is different from mine. This includes my work with adolescents and children as i know they are often reluctant with therapy yet want to be heard and this is how i join with them. Please think of your goals before coming in because this way you can determine if you are satisfied with my services. I am happy at this time to also offer Telepsych therapy sessions as an option

With over 33 years of clinical psychotherapeutic experience, I am a highly-skilled and compassionate licensed clinical psychotherapist who works with adults experiencing a variety of mood disorders and mental health challenges. My focus is dedicated to providing exceptional care and effective psychotherapeutic treatment to assist my client(s) with addressing their troubling thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Fortunately, I have the ability to establish rapport quickly, build trust, and relate to a diverse client population, regarding race, ethnicity, religion, age, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

Over 20 years of working with individuals and couples, I have developed expertise working with a variety of issues, including: low mood, low motivation, anxiety, creative blocks, feeling "stuck" (in any area of life), relationship issues, work or career issues, anger management, addictions, compulsive behavior, and personal growth. My approach is client-centered and collaborative. Together we will work to clarify your goals, and develop a plan that will help you achieve them as quickly as possible. To help you actualize those goals I utilize a variety of modalities, including mindfulness therapy, interpersonal therapy and psychoeducational approaches.

I am a practicing therapist in Statesville, North Carolina. In addition to being a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I have over 20 years of experience as a pastoral counselor. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My primary goal is to provide a grace-centered, non-judgmental, safe environment where healing can truly occur. My theoretical basis for counseling includes the integration of a Biblical worldview with compatible psychological perspectives. I also help clients find their true identity through a Christ-centered Identity Discovery Process.

I enjoy working with anyone who desires to maximize their strengths and overcome weaknesses. A desire to change and improve life, together with a willingness to work are the only requirements for good therapy. Change is possible for everyone and I enjoy enhancing and utilizing the natural strengths of people as they address growth issues. While understanding from where you have come in family and individual background, together we will develop goals that address the issues you desire to change. I work with individuals, couples and families to assist with any issues of concern.

Relationships are hard work, but you're in the right place. Whether you've been married for years or just dating and considering making a commitment, we can help. Couples who come to see us often have a strong desire to be closer to their partner but have found themselves locked in a pattern of stressful interaction, which leads to the problems they are hoping to address in counseling. Together we navigate the process of understanding the cycles couples get stuck in and identify what needs to change in order to build a safe, intimate, and loving connection.

I am accepting new clients that are looking for Intensive EMDR. Why choose intensive work? The traditional model of weekly psychotherapy is shifting to meet your needs. Now more than ever, we need flexibility in how we get support. EMDR intensives are personalized treatment plans that allow you to skip the waitlist by giving you faster access to select spots, and are designed to support your preferred schedule and timeline for your treatment goals. Perhaps, you need more efficient support as the busy parent with kids doing virtual learning and/or the working professional who has even more on their plate since the pandemic.

Successful children are happy, socially competent and secure in developing age appropriate skills. They get along with their family, friends, and at school.

I also work with adults to help you identify and change stuck patterns of thought and feeling to move ahead in life.

My passion is to provide clients with a caring, compassionate and transparent approach to healing from deep losses/grief, traumatic experiences and other issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic stress and relationship issues. My practice approach is rooted in various psychotherapeutic and spiritual approaches (including EMDR) to assist with healing, decision-making, and finding new and more hope-filled perspectives in life. I believe in exploring and facing issues honestly and openly with my clients. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and in journeying with my clients toward healing and hope.

I believe there are many ways to achieve well-being and recovery. Presence, patience, compassion, acceptance, and curiosity are some of the qualities I possess.

I hope together we can decide what is helping you, what could be helping you, and add significantly to your ability to roll with life's up's and down's.
