Teletherapy for North Carolina

My "ideal client" knows to provide loved ones the very best, he or she must also be at an individual best. Short-changing the "self" depletes the ability to offer abundance to others. Whereas prospering in heart, health, mind, and body lead to connections of premium value. My clients look beyond the ordinary, knowing possibilities are endless and will be found with concerted effort and bravery. Keeping life fresh, free and filled with potential, elevates us all. When my clients depart they have renewed joy and gratitude because they are awakened to the gifts that were once just beyond their reach but now part their life scripts.

I provide a safe place for you to explore issues that are posing difficulties in the various areas of your life. I have a personal testimony. My discipline in the counseling field target comorbidity in individuals. I facilitate substance-use groups. I provide you with the tools to assist you to gain control of your life. I won't tell you how much I know until you see how much I care. If life is not becoming to you, then you should come to me. Let me help you gain control.

Accepting new clients both in person and virtually. Are you or your child struggling with mental health and school? Are you or your child struggling with anticipatory anxiety related to overwhelming workloads, talking to a teacher or coach, or interacting with peers? We all want to feel like we belong. We all want to find our place where we feel safe to be our true selves. Parents, have you been struggling with understanding why your child is struggling with negative behaviors, not listening, or disobeying rules? These are many, but not all, of the many impacts mental health can have on us individually and as a family unit.

Often times people come to therapy due to feeling excessive stress at work, at home, or in their relationships. They find the pressures of every day life have exceeded their abilities, overwhelmed their senses, and left them with an inability to cope. They are often having problems going to school, completing tasks, getting along with others at work, and finding activities enjoyable resulting in low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or other symptoms. Families often report not being able to get along or feeling overwhelmed with parenting a child that is having behavioral problems. They know they need to make a change.

As a therapist my role is to help support and guide you to think outside of the box and embrace new ideas that promote change. I believe that you should be empowered by your therapist and feel a connection to be able to make a plan that works for your situation. I have 20 years of training in many modalities, most specifically, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Family Systems. I also use yoga, meditation and breath work into sessions when asked and needed to promote mind/body balance.

On the outside you have it all together, and it seems like no one knows you're struggling. But on the inside, you feel overwhelmed, detached, stuck, burnout, stressed and depleted. It takes tremendous courage to start letting someone else in. I value your trust and start by actively listening to what it feels like for you on the inside. We will explore the different parts of you longing to be heard and seen, and will also support you learning to trust your own wisdom and the ways your body may have been communicating with you all along. Whatever may be the reason for disconnection from yourself, there's always a way back.

Are you feeling stuck and not experiencing joy and peace? My heart is to come alongside those seeking freedom from any type of bondage. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over fifteen years of professional and pastoral counseling, it is my joy and honor to provide a safe place for couples, families and individuals to work through their challenges, discover strength, and navigate away from past pain towards hope, healing, wholeness and health. While integrative, my therapeutic approach leans towards Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems, Emotionally Focused, Gottman, Immanuel Method, and SOZO Prayer.

It is miserable to feel stuck. Stuck in the past, stuck in moving forward, stuck in depression or anxiety. We all want to feel a sense of purpose, and that we can live fully in the present and have a vision for the future, no matter our circumstances. There are a number of things that can make us feel stuck, such as trauma, unresolved grief, regrets, shame, broken relationships, and a fear of failure. Sometimes couples feel stuck in working through difficult issues and the resulting anger and hurt. We all go through these times in our lives and may come to a point when we realize that we need some help to move forward.

Every stage of life comes with greeting and farewell. There is grief in new beginnings and there is hope in dark moments. Growing a family includes mixtures of hope, sorrow, joy, and longing. For me, perinatal mental health encompasses (in)fertility struggles, miscarriage & pregnancy loss, abortion or TFMR, NICU experiences, infant loss, perinatal depression, anxiety, & OCD, birth trauma, postpartum transition, and early parenthood. At every stage, there is often a complicated jumble of joy, sorrow, hope, and change. I am here to help you engage these contradictions and process the intensity of your particular perinatal story.

Accepting new clients! Telehealth and in-person. Being a parent is TOUGH. I will listen to your concerns/hopes while providing a nonjudgmental environment to explore the issues your child and family may be facing. I am passionate about childhood mental health, and only work with children and teens (ages 4-16). Some children I see experience issues with adjustment, anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, self-esteem, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. Some children ask to come to therapy; some don't. I focus on building trust and rapport with every client I work with.

Everyone has a unique story that is worthy of being heard and honored. Healing and hope are possible. I desire to walk with you as you seek healing from experiences that have caused pain, guilt, and shame. Other areas I work with are depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, autism, supporting children with disabilities, grief/loss, and spiritual concerns.

I have been in the mental health field since 2007 and love getting to come alongside each of my clients to help in their healing journey. I primarily work with those struggling with anxiety, panic, OCD, depression, stress, grief, phase of life adjustments, etc. Counseling is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. I pull from many different therapeutic approaches but some of my favorites are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Theory and Faith-based/Biblical Counseling.

Together we can create a supportive, nurturing environment where you can explore your experiences, thoughts and emotions at your pace. My ultimate goal is to empower you to take steps towards fulfilment, healing, self acceptance and balance in your life. I prioritize empathy and active listening in sessions and help my clients establish personalized goals, always striving to foster a therapeutic relationship based on trust and genuine understanding. I believe in a holistic approach that considers the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing the interconnectedness of these in one's wellbeing.

Accepting New Clients. We help adults transcend their painful past of childhood and/or sexual trauma to create healthier parenting connections and interpersonal relationships. Are you and your partner struggling to relate to one another? Are you not feeling fulfilled with your current life? Do you feel disconnected from family and friends? Do you find it difficult to make and keep relationships? Do you give and give in hope others will give back to you? Do your thoughts and emotions stop you from moving forward? Does any of this cause you to spend more time alone or cloud your judgement?

Are you feeling alone, anxious or depressed? Unsatisfied with your career, have chronic pain or illness? Relationship stress, extended family issues? My clients tell me I'm warm, easy to talk to, and down to earth. I use a variety of treatment approaches: psychodynamic and relational, combined with CBT, EFT, and EMDR. EMDR can help almost any problem resolve more quickly because it allows the brain to make changes on a deeper level than just talking. We still talk plenty though, before, during and after EMDR. My clients find telehealth to be helpful and convenient. I see regular clients occasionally at my home office.
