Therapists in Davidson, NC

The idea of starting therapy can create increased feelings of worry and stress for new and even returning clients. Therapy requires vulnerability and I'm proud of you for taking the first step towards healing. Our therapeutic relationship begins with establishing trust within the first few moments of meeting. Those who are searching for a therapist often get lost in the “where do I start” mindset, so I make it my goal to help ease your doubt, answer questions and guide you on the path towards change. We will re-discover your strengths and focus on your potential to understand past trauma, lingering stress, and overwhelming emotions.

Are you going through some big or small changes in your life right now? Does this have you feeling out of sorts because you can’t find your path or direction in life? This may also have you feeling not quite like yourself. Maybe even a little anxious and/ or depressed. First, let me say it’s normal for all of us to go through transitions at various times in our lives. While we are going through these changes, sometimes we just need a little help figuring out how to process it all and ultimately finding a clearer pathway. You are the expert in your life, and I’d love to walk along side of you on your journey to discovery.

If you are struggling to love the life you are living, counseling can help. The many roles we take on can easily create stress and make us lose our focus, but you are a valuable individual and deserve happiness. As a counselor, I will work to empower you to meet your goals in a supportive and encouraging environment with a variety of techniques and skills. As a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider, I am able to meet with clients via secure video in addition to meeting in my office.

My ideal client is resilient, feels a pull for "more," and desires to thrive. Many of my clients are dealing with life transitions, career stress, identity, self-esteem, and relationship issues and are experiencing mental health struggles as a result. Individuals who benefit most from my support may be suffering from anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, sexuality, and identity concerns silently. My clients will learn how to recognize and capitalize on their strengths, learn coping skills, and be challenged to live fully by acknowledging and accepting their humanity.

Children and adolescents need to know there is someone out there willing to sit and listen to what they are going through and have a support system in which to help them through a challenging time. Counseling is the first step towards taking control over one's life, and finding a counselor that is a good fit is imperative. I believe that therapy is a partnership that allows me the opportunity to help guide you towards your own personal goals.

I enjoy working with adults, adolescents and children. I treat the whole person (emotionally, physically and spiritually). I help to motivate you toward realistic lifestyle change by meeting you where you are in the process. I treat those with ADHD, depression, anxiety and stress issues to name a few.

At the top of my list are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness and Stress Reduction Approaches.

There comes a point in time where we all could use a listening ear or a guidebook for how to overcome life's challenges. From depression to substance use, relationship issues or overcoming past trauma, life can throw you some curve balls that without intervention, could derail your future success. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, at a loss for what to do next, reaching out for help is the perfect first step! Whether your troubles are overtaking your life or you just feel like you aren't quite yourself, we can move through this stage of life together, and come out stronger on the other side.

Are you feeling hopeless, unmotivated, lost, and/or confused? Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed and stressed from life's daily tasks. It's possible that you're exhausted from past trauma, and wearing so many "masks" that require you to be the strong one, the happy one, the overachiever, the one that everyone believes is okay. I'm here to tell you that life doesn't have to be this way. Often times, we've been so accustomed to these feelings, and wearing the above masks, it begins to feel normal. The time is now to live the life you deserve. With useful skills, techniques, and consistency, change can happen. There is hope for you.

Finding a therapist that you can relate to may be the most important part of therapy. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe and supported, so that you can open up and get the most out of your sessions. Sometimes starting this process can seem a little overwhelming. Maybe you're not sure where to begin with all of this. Maybe you're feeling a little anxious, or perhaps you suffer from "analysis paralysis." I've been there myself, and I'm here to help.
