Prolonged Exposure Therapy in 27518

I am a licensed clinical psychologist located in Cary, NC providing individual (ages 18-85+) and marital therapy. I have extensive experience working with survivors of traumatic events (combat, sexual assault, childhood abuse, domestic violence, car accidents, and natural disasters) and aiding them in their recovery. I am often inspired by the resilience and fortitude amongst this population. My areas of expertise are PTSD, depression, panic, anxiety, OCD, grief and loss, and emotion regulation. I also specialize in working with couples to improve communication, decrease conflict, enhance intimacy, and address infidelity.

My theoretical approach to counseling emphasizes the collaboration between therapist and client together; the client is helped to discover misconceptions about themselves as it relates to his/her thoughts and beliefs using therapeutic techniques of practice and developing coping skills to be used in "the moment." I'm an empathetic, accepting, and genuine, who focuses on encouragement of a person’s self-awareness, exploration of the here and now and assist in resolving problems. Integrating techniques proven to be evidenced based practices based on clients individual needs to promote positive outcomes of where the client wants to be.
