Sexual Abuse Therapists in Statesville, NC

My clients have diversity in their backgrounds, identities, and stories. Most have a background in family dysfunction, emotional neglect/abuse, physical abuse, narcissism/gaslighting, religious trauma, sexual abuse/assault, emotionally immature caregiver(s), abandonment, household dysfunction, or any combination of things. They reach out to gain insight, support, and skills on navigating the healing process. I have 3 years of experience in mental health with a focus on trauma and LGBTQIA+ identities. I work with adolescents age 14 to adult.

I am a LCSW with over 23 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families and adults with an array of social and emotional needs. If you, your child, or loved one is struggling to manage life stressors, the initial or ongoing impact of trauma, bullying, low esteem, anxiety, depression, indecisiveness, or desire to learn additional coping or interpersonal skills, I am here to support you. My goal is to partner with those who entrust me, to support your efforts in navigating your journey of healing, change, and growth.

Hi, congratulations on taking these next steps in your healing journey! I enjoy helping clients develop stronger family and/or marital relationships, to heal from past trauma or other psychological issues, to determine the best parenting approach for the unique needs of their child, and to offer support for those in active recovery from addiction. I work primarily with adults and adolescents with a strength-based approach. I am also an Approved Supervisor with the AAMFT and offer clinical supervision to therapists in training. If any of these areas of interest are a good fit for your needs, I would be happy to work with you!

We all have times of suffering in our lives; it is difficult to walk through those times alone. Having gone through my own healing in counseling, and being a "wounded healer" aids me in being able to help others deal with their own suffering. I worked as a youth pastor for 16 years and in the mental health industry for the past 15 years with adolescents, children, and their families. I seek to help families that are having conflict in their home as well as those having school issues.

I offer structured outpatient individual and group counseling for those adolescents and adults who struggle with life and all it's challenges. I believe that all people are able to make positive changes in their lives and find the lifestyle they desire. I strive to enhance and restore the worth and dignity of all individuals in need of counseling services.

Unexpected, sometimes traumatic life events happens to us all. The good news is we are made to heal. My work with clients offers an expert guide and partner on your healing journey. Together we can help you establish a life of balance and peace. While other interventions offer coping skills, the work we do together offers healing and restoration. When you are ready to begin your journey, please let me know and we can begin our work together in an atmosphere of acceptance and care.

Have complicated relationships and overwhelming emotions left you at a loss for what to do next? Do you feel like you are a screw-up with your partner and having a hard time believing you can succeed at anything? Perhaps you have made attempts at repairing relationships only to end up feeling more hurt and confused than before. You can’t stop thinking, “what’s wrong with me”. The racing thoughts and past memories are stuck in your head and you feel desperate to feel “normal”. You’re lonely and want to feel like the old you, but wonder if he/she still exists. If you are experiencing any of these emotions, you are not alone.

I provide Therapy for depression, marriage counseling, couples counseling, women's issues, trauma, abuse, PTSD, LGBTQ and Trans specific issues, etc. I work with a variety of people who are at different places in their lives. As a Therapist I offer a personalized approach that is tailored to each client's needs, focusing on the personal growth that each person desires. My therapeutic style is active and engaging, with the intention of fostering insight, awareness and facilitating desired change. My counseling agency also offers a variety of support groups and counselor supervision. Please take that first step, call to inquire.

Are you seeing anxiety, isolation, opposition? Seeing your child struggle with these feelings and behaviors can be very overwhelming and lonely. If it's too much, I can help. Realistic and customized ways to reduce these challenges is the approach my clients find most helpful. I focus on parenting and couple issues as well, helping to strengthen bonds and promote the desired change. Individuals who face anxiety, grief and loss, transition and other challenges deserve support and non-judgement.

Don't over-think therapy. It's just not that complicated. When things get difficult, it's often hard to ask for help. We all face challenges, and we often overcome them on our own. Sometimes it takes much longer than we'd like, and that's when therapy comes into play. Why spend months or years taking on a situation or challenge by yourself, when you could work through it in far less time? Insanity is doing the same things, over and over, and expecting different results. Try something new, and break those old patterns.

I have been in the mental health field for over 15 years providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I believe that all people have a desire to improve their life. Through my counseling services, clients are provided tools to empower and understand themselves, as well as, improve their relationship with others. When clients are provided empathetic listening, and effective interpersonal skills to deal with anger, stress and communicate more effectively, success is a given and a healthier person arises. Allow me to take this powerful journey with you!

Therapy is a growth experience that can influence the way you view the world and yourself. As humans, we all experience times of discomfort and life transitions. Therapy is not only for those suffering from addiction or mental illness. It is also a way to gain skills, enhance your performance, and learn more about yourself. Barriers to becoming who you want to be can be explored in therapy and work to re-building life, relationships, and even your career.

I suffered the loss of two of my children and my heart was broken. I needed help. Have you suffered a loss and need to share with someone how you feel or maybe you don't really know how you feel? Let's talk! Many people suffer with challenges from life experiences such as death, loss, mental health, finances, careers, marriage and family. As a Christian Counselor and Life Coach, I will work collaboratively with you to integrate all aspects of the human experience - mind. body and spirit. Our time of sharing may include learning the art of thoughtful conflict and how to intentionally transform your life.

If you are tired of feeling anxious and want the “what ifs” to stop ruling your life, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s figure out together where the anxiety is coming from and how to tame it so you can get up in the morning excited about your day instead of dreading the voice in your head warning you about every detail. It’s possible to change the voice of “What if I can’t do this?” to “I’ve got this!”. My passion lies in helping women experiencing issues with anxiety. l’m also passionate about other women's issues including self-worth, life transitions, parenting and relationship issues.

Do you find yourself struggling with life in the present… anxiety, depression, memories from the past? You want to move forward, live freely, and truly enjoy life, work, and meaningful relationships with others. You have goals you want to achieve and are tired of feeling held back. Through reflection you realize that many of these struggles are tied to the past... perhaps to childhood experiences, unhealthy relationships, trauma, or past difficult situations you went through. Perhaps you can't even quite identify the reason, you just feel a heavy emotional burden and that something is holding you back.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Whether you’re feeling upset about problems in your relationship, having communication issues with your partner, feeling anxious, sad, or just feeling lonely, I am here to help you reclaim the happiness you deserve and make lasting positive changes in your life. I have a passion for working with individuals who are having difficulty adjusting to life's changes.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages. I mostly enjoy working with adults, adolescents, couples and families. Whether you're struggling with work, school, relationships, family, or behavioral concerns...I am here to work with you. I am here to walk alongside and empower you to live your fullest life and be your highest, healthiest self.

I believe in the three (3) C’s of life: CHOICE, CHANCE, AND CHANGE! I believe that you must make the CHOICE to take the CHANCE that will cause your life to CHANGE! If needed, let me help you embrace the positive and creative possibilities of life. I am passionate, yet direct in my therapeutic approach to empowering people to believe that a journey of a thousand miles begins with taking the first step.

Every human does better when we feel connected to others and to ourselves. Put simply, connection is the compilation of three basic elements: knowing we are seen, heard, and that we matter. I was introduced to this concept when watching an interview with Maya Angelou, just before I began my graduate program to become a therapist. Since that time, I have heard many others share the same message… Oprah, Brene Brown, Johann Hari, and countless others that have studied, researched, and understand the tie that binds us all. When we feel better, we do better, right?
