His High Places is a residential Christian Counseling Ministry operating in the North Carolina High Country for more than 40 years. We minister to individuals who are in various stages of crisis, pain, and emotional woundedness. The most common issues we work with are marital problems (including, infidelity and sexual sin), depression, anxiety, grief, spiritual disillusionment, and career burnout. One of the core foundations of the original vision for His High Places was to provide ministry to the minister. One of our early slogans “who ministers to the minister? We do!” remains valid and even more relevant today.

Maybe you can’t shake the feeling that something horrible is going to happen. Or you feel that that a lack of your control of a situation is going to result in danger or even terrible things happening. Anxiety and uneasiness are with you almost always. Irritated, annoyed, depressed…You can’t understand why you can’t seem to move past ‘it’, no matter how hard you have tried. Perhaps COVID-19 affected you in ways you didn’t expect or made other symptoms worse. Can you relate to any or all of this? Please know…you are not alone. I have worked with many people for whom this is true.

Is your child's ADHD getting in the way of how amazing and smart you know they really are? It is frustrating knowing their potential but watching them struggle to focus, follow directions, sit still or listen in school or at home. Most parents fear how their child will get through the week, or school year, but all parents are terrified how their child will get through life without struggling so hard. Throughout counseling we will move you and your child away from the "deficit" label; the only "disorders" are the stigmas placed on those diagnosed.

I see clients in-person on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays while offering telehealth sessions Mondays and Tuesdays.
Sometimes we as people just get stuck. When you're a child or adolescent, that may look like anxiety, overwhelm, aggression, isolation, and more. However, we also have the hope and possibility to be unstuck, we just may need some new tools to get there - that's where counseling comes in. Healing and growth and wellness are all possible and worth working for, and asking for help is sometimes the first step.

My therapeutic philosophy begins with cultivating safety and trust within the client/counselor relationship. I truly believe that it is vital to build a strong foundation. I believe that is important because, as a therapist, I understand that I am entering your private world. This is a deep and sacred trust. It is important to me that my clients know that whether or not that trust has been violated by others in the past, I will create a sanctuary in which those hurts that have created trauma, anxiety, depression, etc., can be explored, understood and, as we face that pain together, we can find healing and restoration.

I provide a safe space to explore the concerns, past hurts, or patterns that bring you to therapy, along with practical tools to help you navigate these challenges in new ways. Are you ready to explore what you truly want in life and begin moving toward it?

I have enjoyed many years of getting to know and caring for teenagers and adults as both a Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. I began my career as a high school psychology teacher and discovered that I loved the students even more than teaching my subject! Since then, many unique challenges – relationship issues, life transitions, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and just plain life stress – have come through my office door. I have also studied with the FBI and Secret Service on prevention of domestic/school violence and stalking issues. This varied experience helps me work toward my client’s desired results.
