"Many people consider psychotherapy when life hurts too much, but hesitate to take the first step. You might wonder, will this help? Can it get any better? Am I just strange? Often it's easier to move on from trauma or loss with the help of a compassionate, empathetic person. Therapy can help you develop a new and broader sense of yourself, your life, and your future. Therapy is a way to bring back your spirit and reorient yourself to the person you are meant to be."

"I am passionate about assisting my clients in unlocking their inner wisdom and striving for balance in their lives. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds. I have experience assisting individuals in managing a variety of behavioral and emotional concerns including trauma, chronic pain, difficult life transitions, anxiety, depression, substance use, stress management, self-esteem, grief, and LGBTQIA+ specific stressors. "

"Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and other symptoms can take away the ability to enjoy life, and make it difficult to remain socially connected and maintain good interpersonal relationships. Life circumstances, mental or physical illness, coping with transitions, and unexpected events increase stress, and contribute to feeling overwhelmed and helpless. I will work to help you find a way through these painful experiences, reduce unwanted symptoms, and improve quality of life. If you are struggling with painful symptoms or situation, call me today and we can begin working on the life you want to be living."

"I believe that everyone has the ability to find power within themselves to create a life that works best for them. I specialize in working with teenagers and adults with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image concerns, bipolar disorder, dissociative episodes and life transitions. "

"Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's stressors? Do you feel like stress is impeding your ability to enjoy your relationships, your work, your kids, your leisurely time or most importantly, your own self? Have you tried talk therapy before without much result? I am a clinical social worker with a different psychobiological approach. I specialize in treating childhood/attachment/shock and trauma, PTSD, domestic, sexual and emotional abuse. Additionally I help people manage anxiety and depression, women's issues, parenting support, marital issues and relationship conflict, spirituality, self-esteem, career and life transitions."

"***Updated: I am now in-network with BCBS and am accepting new clients starting on September 2, 2019. Send me an email or give me a call to schedule your intake appointment. I look forward to hearing from you! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Transforming Touch® Therapist/Co-Regulating Touch Practitioner."

"If you are navigating painful disconnection in your relationships, and long to rebuild safety, trust, respect, and loving feelings in your life, I can help. Helping people create healthy relationships with others and themselves is my passion and the primary mission of my practice. With my training and 15+ years of experience, I provide effective therapy for couples, families, and individuals using proven approaches tailored to the situations and needs of my clients. Dissatisfaction, divorce, frustration and despair doesn't have to be the outcome. Secure, confident relationships with others and yourself are possible with help."

"I believe that each of us is innately equipped for healing, growth, and connection with self and others. As a therapist, I’ll collaborate with you to access or rediscover those capacities within yourself. I primarily work with people who want to deepen connections with self and other, build resilience, and create meaning. I focus on long-term work with people experiencing anxiety, life transitions, trauma recovery, and relationship issues. I help clients develop a greater capacity to thrive in their bodies and in their relationships, to choose how they respond to their experiences, and to build the lives they want. "

"My approach supports re-connection to one's inherent capacity for healing, hope, and recovery. A deep sense of sadness, unmet longings, panic, low self esteem, and perfectionism can be too much to grapple with alone. You deserve understanding, and I strive to learn what's most important to you in our work together. I have a warm, nonjudgmental style and see individuals and couples looking to build their self awareness, break dysfunctional relationship patterns, and repair wounds and past hurts which have resulted in disconnection and relationship difficulties."

"We all need support to walk through our lives with purpose, power, and joy. It takes bravery to seek support, so welcome to the threshold of change. I work with children, adults, and families using play-based and trauma-informed therapy to support reflection, growth, and recovery. Together we can address behavioral issues, stressful transitions like divorce, grief, adoption, and birth, and the conflicts of identity. Using evidence-based strategies, I partner with adults, teens, and children across a spectrum of diagnoses and life experiences to remove barriers and build strengths."

"Struggling with depression or anxiety? Breaking patterns is hard, but you know you want change and meaningful redirection. Past traumas, unfulfilling relationships, or work stress get in the way of being present-- of feeling fulfilled? People often work with me to get things moving when they feel blocked or stuck, to develop calm where uncertainty has them off balance. Without judgment, I guide insight to realize a better self, to address trauma, improve outlook, and restore calm. I work with teens and adults to address problems with depression, bipolar, anxiety, and personality disorders."

"Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, having panic attacks, and difficulty making decisions? Are you unable to fall asleep at night because your mind is racing? Have you recently experienced a loss or are you having relationship problems? Are you having thoughts of suicide or self harming behaviors? I can help you develop skills to manage your emotional dysregulation that will carry over to the real world."

"I am a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in the Triangle Area of North Carolina. My practice is focused on work with adolescents, college students, adults, couples, and families. I offer psychotherapy services and comprehensive clinical consultations and assessments. My approach to psychotherapy combines practical, solution focused work with warmth, compassion, and humor. I provide a safe and supportive environment where we can work together. I offer you my observations and thoughts and encourage you to be an active participant in clarifying concerns, setting goals, and evaluating progress."

"Relationships are hard. But, why? Because your brain wants you and your partner to protect yourselves in ways that get in the way of feeling connected, loved, and passionate. Self-protection is always running in the background and you need to know how to manage it and make choices that are better for your relationship. That's normal. Thankfully, things can change. I'm an experienced, safe therapist who knows how to guide you toward new patterns of relating or recover from disappointment, affairs, fear, and distance. Heterosexual and LGBTQ couples are equally welcome in my practice. "

"I am a clinical social worker and registered yoga teacher who empowers people using the guiding principles of empathy, curiosity, cultural humility, and collaboration. I take an integrative and psychobiological approach to counseling, and work to understand how the intersection of your unique experiences and identities impact you today. I remain committed to working with people as they face a range of experiences, including multicultural concerns, oppression, identity exploration, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, queer/LGB+ concerns, trans and gender identity related concerns, relationship concerns, chronic illness, and grief."

"Congratulations on embarking upon the next step in your journey! Each of these steps — every experience of bliss, fear, frustration, or sorrow — have all lead you to this very moment. The challenges and complexities of your day-to-day life may have lead you here. The traumas, losses, and heartaches of the past have, too. And while I would rather that each of us would be spared these experiences — it is my hope that I may have a chance to partner alongside you as you grow and, ideally, heal from each of them. "

"Are you struggling with life in these stressful political times or with feeling okay about who you are? Are you along the sexual or gender continuum (LGBTQ+) & looking for someone who gets it? Are you & your partner/spouse struggling in your relationship? I want to help. I've been committed to helping kids, parents, couples & the LGBT+ community feel heard, cared for & understood for over 25 years. So, if you or a teen who identifies as LGBT, are coming out or questioning their sexuality/identity/gender, I am here to help. I also help parents & couples improve their relationships, including ex’s co-parent."

"In our society, it’s common to feel like you’re never “enough.” You might feel like no matter what you achieve, there is always something more to do. Or you may feel like an imposter who doesn’t deserve the accolades you have received. The pressure to be perfect can affect parenting, relationships, school, work, health, and body image. Social media doesn't help. It's easy to feel like everyone except you is getting married, having a baby, or doing a complex yoga pose on the beach. "

"Everyone experiences painful life challenges. I am here to help you navigate a path through difficult times by both building on your strengths and identifying new skills to manage stressful events. If you feel anxious, depressed, don't feel stable in some area of your life, and/or have a history of trauma, I am here to work with you. Together, we work to restore a sense of balance and stability in your life and give you tools to cope with life's ups and downs."

"I am a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in helping people of all ages, nationalities, races, gender expressions and sexual identities. My clients find me easy to talk to and my style is warm, non-judgmental and relational. I have a particular expertise in helping couples with issues such as infidelity, arguments, lack of communication and connection and dwindling sexual expression. For this work I draw on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy by Susan Johnson see "Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love." I also use the work of the Gottman Institute, Harville Hendrix and Stan Tatkin."
