Self-Harming Therapists in Benson, NC

Are you experiencing a sense of disconnection from yourself and those around you? Do you often prioritize others' needs over your own? Are you questioning why life doesn't feel as fulfilling or joyful as you hoped? In today's uncertain times, many people are grappling with feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, unsure of how to navigate their relationships, careers, and overall well-being. Ignoring your own needs and neglecting self-care can have lasting consequences on your mental and physical health. I believe that achieving a better quality of life shouldn't feel like an uphill battle.

I bring a unique blend of experiences to my role as a therapist. I’m a former infantry soldier, current U.S. Army Chaplain of 19+ years, and therapist. As a war time veteran, I understand the challenges of navigating through difficult times. It isn’t easy to admit we might need help, that we have fears that no one will understand what we’re experiencing, or if I seek help some people may judge us. If we’re able to get past those initial thoughts of judgment, fear, or vulnerability we may find that there are people out there that will hear us, be with us, and help us during our difficult times. I would like to be that person for you.

Life can be difficult and challenging. My commitment as your therapist is to create a safe and supportive space to develop trust and maintain confidentiality.

I see you as the real "expert" of your life, and believe you have the capabilities necessary for change. I believe in a holistic approach to growth and healing that takes into consideration our relationships, social and cultural backgrounds, physical health, and spirituality.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe, client-centered environment for my clients to explore their feelings and patterns of thinking while setting and working toward their personal goals.

Anyone can benefit from taking a step away from the chaos and spending some time listening to the help their bodies are asking for.

I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)
