Trauma Focused Therapists in North Carolina

Life is difficult and involves growth and change which is not always easy or comfortable. You may not know where to start and need assistance with developing a plan to embrace change and begin to heal and move forward. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families to assist them in reaching their goals, improving their relationships, and beginning their healing process. I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families and use a collaborative relationship to assist them in making changes to move forward in various areas of their lives.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS), I specialize in trauma focused therapies such as EMDR and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), used to treat PTSD and other disorders such as anxiety and depression.

Are you looking for a partner to support you as you tackle thoughts, feelings and life stressors that are getting in the way of your peace and happiness? If so, I hope I will be a good fit for you.

Overall, I consider therapy to be a beginning point for personal change. My counseling philosophy is built around the principle that understanding a patient in the context of the surroundings that influenced their development is elemental to the therapeutic process. I utilize an integrative approach, combining Behavioral, Interpersonal, and Psychodynamic techniques. During sessions, I will assist in identifying and challenging self-limiting patterns, healing from past experiences, and gaining insight into how the unconscious influences behavior.

Hello there and welcome to my safe space. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I have several years of clinical experience working with individuals, families and groups of various ages, race, nationalities, and ethnicities. I have experience working in outpatient, psychiatric behavioral health, and hospice settings. Therapy is a partnership, and as partners, together, we will determine what therapeutic intervention(s) is best for you. My goal is to use what I know, to do what I can, to help you navigate and cope with life in whatever capacity that may look like for you.

Traumatic experiences or challenging life events may leave you feeling confused, anxious, agitated, or numb. These feelings may be so overwhelming that you might not even remember a time when things felt better. One thing you can count on is that you are eager to find a sense of safety, security, and peace. Most of all, I understand that you want to possess the confidence and skills to redefine your life. Clients seeking services want to establish a sense of safety, develop a sense of power, and gain the ability to reconnect with others. They come to learn more about how to be more present and less focused on past experiences.

I provide a non-judgmental atmosphere that enables frank, honest discussions that promote change. I have a good history with clients seeking out initial care as well as those who have been unsuccessful with other therapists. I do not accept insurance, as I believe care should be authentic and person-centered without coding or billing guidelines dictating care.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have significant experience working with children and adolescents. My journey in social work began with a passion for helping individuals both heal from trauma and better cope with the stressors of everyday life. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Auburn University and my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Winthrop University.

People who seek help through the stresses and traumas of life instead of succumbing to them are the bravest people I know. Although therapy may not feel courageous, at some point, we all need the presence and compassionate care of someone committed to our healing process. This is my passion. I work with courageous people who choose to move toward wholeness while continuing to live and care for the responsibilities of their lives. A large part of my work is devoted to helping men and women work through traumatic experiences in the present and those remembered from the past.

We work from the prospective that all people are trustworthy, capable of self-understanding, inherently valuable, able to make constructive changes, and able to maintain productive lives. We believe that all people should be treated with dignity and respect and feel safe in all their environments. We encourage people to have goals and follow their dreams. We believe that everyone has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, free of mental and behavioral problems that may be blocking their fullest potential. We are here to empower, educate and assist you through the healing process. All PEOPLE should be HAPPY!!
