Spirituality Therapists in Mountain Home, NC

All of us have been wounded by life in different ways, personally and in and through our relationships. We need healing and find it painful to examine our wounds. The poet, Rumi, wrote: "Don't turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That's where the light enters you." I went back to graduate school so that I could sit with others willing to do this courageous work. Maybe you are ready for such a journey. I work primarily with adults, but I have worked with children for over 30 years as well.

Each person comes to the office with unique needs and deserves respect to be heard and understood. Working collaboratively, I offer marriage counseling, along with many other services such as depression and anxiety treatment. As an Imago therapist, we recognize that conflict is growth waiting to happen. I often observe growth and healing in people and feel privileged to have accompanied many on their healing journey. By caring for them, I am personally stretched and shaped through their suffering and in turn only deepens my compassion for others. In part, this creates my tapestry that I hope reflects Grace in paying wisdom forward.

The most powerful tool available to you is not merely realization of who you are...it is the option to create who you want to be. My privilege is to work with clients who are growing choice in how they think, respond, and, therefore, feel. Unique as your story is, you are not alone in your needs - relief from anxiety, resolution of conflict, or ability to trust. Whether you feel stuck completely or have been circling the same chapter without evolving...good news. You have permission to turn the page.

I work with people to discover the tools and techniques that will help them experience greater fulfillment in their relationships, work, mind, body, and spirit. As a clinician, I love supporting individuals from all walks of life to find, create, or strengthen their most meaningful relationships. Building your relational skill set can aid you with all your interactions: from strangers, acquaintances, and co-workers, to friends, family, your children, and your lover.

With over 25 years in the mental health field and 13 years in private practice, I offer a multitude of personal and professional experience. Much of our suffering is due to dissatisfaction in relationships. Sadly, many relationships end prematurely when we are most hurt and emotionally vulnerable. However, this is the time when the very intimacy we were lacking prior has the potential to finally break through. I give you tools and insight to heal old wounds that are holding you back from experiencing the love you seek within yourself and others. Together we address the intrapsychic conflicts and longings of the soul.

As a clinician I am passionate about working with individuals around their personal goals and identity development, assisting couples in more effective ways to communicate and deepen intimacy, coaching parents who are struggling to show up in a way that feels good and effective with their children, or families who are struggling to navigate the challenges of their unique lifestyle.

I am passionate about helping women navigate major life transitions such as getting married, entering motherhood, changing careers, moving, or processing the ending of a relationship. It is easy to lose ourselves when taking on a new role and I love helping women reconnect with who they truly are and find joy again. In addition to treatment for anxiety, depression, and life transitions, I offer the unique focus of career counseling. I really enjoy helping others find true fulfillment in their vocations, as I have found that many mental health and relationship challenges often stem from an unhealthy work life.

My calling and expertise is to help women better manage anxiety, worry, and stress in order to cultivate and connect with their inner peace and joy. The pace of life seems to quicken with time, along with the multiple demands to be a good mom, wife, woman, and professional. It can seem impossible to find moments of rest and happiness while balancing “all of the things”. I have found that when women try to "do it all" it can lead to burnout, resentment, depression, and chronic illness. Are your nerves shot? Are you tired but wired? Are you struggling to reign-in unhealthy habits? You've come to the right place!
