In today’s world there are no easy peaks. Individuals are burnt out, stressed, overwhelmed, and some may even feel defeated. Years ago I heard the saying, “Sometimes it takes more courage to ask for help than to act alone.” (Ken Petti). And I am here to tell you that you are not alone and that help is available.

My passion is to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and to help clients work through issues and emotions that are keeping them stuck. Emotions that are common to us all can become overwhelming. Counseling is the solution to understanding how our emotions can keep us stuck in life and how to overcome negative emotions. I have successfully helped clients of all ages and backgrounds with anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and maritial issues.

My work focuses primarily on individual therapy, couples and family therapy, and therapy with teenagers. As each person is unique, my approach varies with each person or couple, depending on the reason or reasons for seeking counseling. The conditions I typically treat include depression, anxiety, relationship problems, substance abuse, trauma, grief and other life problems.

At Carolina Health & Recovery we provide a wealth of services but really focus to specialize in a few. Our society lives in a “doc in the box” and a “program” treatment world. But, from my experience, people rarely show up seeking mental health or addiction treatment because of something that started ailing them last week. Most people have suffered months, years, and sometimes a lifetime before seeking help. Often times people have sought help multiple times in the past, but with no lasting relief. Some never knew there was a different way of life. Others “never had a problem” until he/she came into their life. See how we can help!

I have been in the helping business for the last 25 years. My vast experiences in life have given me insights that enable me to help clients who suffer from relationship issues within their marriage, their families, their social environment and within their work place. I have also had great success working with clients who suffer from addictions (drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, etc.) and co-dependency issues. My experiences as a teacher helps me work with adolescent issues related to anxiety, depression, behavior, self-esteem, sexuality, gender, etc.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. Sometimes life transitions can leave us feeling off balance and lost. They leave us questioning who we are and our purpose. Seeking help in these trying times shows inner strength that we can build on together. I have a deep passion for helping others in their time of need & empowering them to defeat negative thinking & self-destructive behaviors. I strive to encourage others to recognize the fight & strengths within themselves to overcome obstacles.

I enjoy working with people of all ages, in individual, family, and couples therapy. Through my training, I am able to help people with a variety of life stressors including depression, anxiety, anger management needs, ADHD, grief, marital problems, addiction, and many other ailments. Through an integrated approach to therapy utilizing many different techniques, I will help you to understand your own thoughts and emotions. You will learn skills to help you develop and execute your own solutions to the problems in your life. It would be my privilege to help, when you are ready to make these life changes.

Making the decision to participate in therapy is a big step. I applaud you for making this decision because I know it is not an easy one. Maybe you are suddenly in the midst of an emotional crisis. Something happened such as a breakup, a death, job loss or many other possibilities. Now what? How to deal with this pain or grief, loss or stressful situation. By forming a relationship with a neutral outside person who has training in these matters, you can begin to get a handle of what is going on for you, identify your thoughts and feelings and develop a plan for positive change.

Discovering our relationships are not what we thought they were can be a devastating and lonely place to be. Have you been blind-sided and discovered your partner has betrayed you? Do you feel you're continually left trying to pick up the pieces? Have you felt or been told it's "your fault"? Has the unacceptable become acceptable? Have you found yourself torn between relationships or in relationships you are confused about? My job is to offer a safe, non judgmental place for you to come and be heard. You are not alone. Together we can work on a plan for moving forward in a healthy way. There is HOPE.

When life is challenging, you do not have to cope on your own. As your counselor, I will join you in your pursuit of healing and wholeness; provide a safe place for you to open up; help you make sense of what is going on; and offer caring support to promote growth and positive change. Together, we will choose a therapeutic approach that is tailored to your unique situation and your goals.
