I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience in the field of mental health. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults providing outpatient therapy and co-parenting counseling. I have extensive experience working with families undergoing divorce and custody issues and the challenges that accompany this, for both parents and children.

I am currently taking new clients for virtual sessions. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (Supervisor) and also a Certified Health Coach. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I especially enjoy working with adolescents, adults and couples. I have worked with individuals on a wide array of issues such as, but not limited to, family issues, divorce, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, self-esteem issues, woman’s issues, parenting skills and health and wellness related concerns. I also provide LCMHCA supervision and currently have openings to provide supervision.

My goal as an integrated clinician is to treat the whole person. When you feel like nobody knows what you’re going through, sharing your feelings with someone who truly gets it can make all the difference. I’ll help you make sense of your experiences and feel more optimistic about the future.

I help clients struggling with their weight to both achieve and maintain their weight loss goals. You may feel that you’ve tried everything and have exhausted all of your options. You may struggle with guilt that you must not be trying hard enough. As a physician, I know that there are numerous societal forces working against your efforts, even down to metabolic changes that sabotage your ability to lose weight. While weight loss medications may provide some benefits, my passion is providing an effective option for people who prefer the long-lasting, transformative impact of healthy lifestyle changes - without any side effects!

I am a psychotherapist with many years on mental health experience. My clientele is adults, 16 and up. Areas of practice focus are anxiety and depression, chronic pain, grief, traumatic loss, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and adult ADHD. I'm trained in the therapy modalities of hypnotherapy, EMDR Exposure (CBT), and Emotional Freedom Technique - an energy psychology method. In helping clients break old habits, I'm a licensed provider of Trim Life, a weight loss program using hypnosis. Another program is Clean Break for smoking cessation.

My ideal client is one that has had weight problems and is looking for that "something else" to make permanent changes to their life. You have tried losing weight, you have been successful at losing weight only to have the weight sneak back on. You have tried a program or maybe even several programs, only to find yourself back at square one or worse then that, heavier then ever before. Most diet programs do not provide small educational steps that are maintainable and usable forever. nor help you gain insight into your true relationship with food, a critical necessity. That is where I come in.

I am a dedicated and compassionate hypnotherapist committed to guiding you through a profound process of positive change and self-discovery. With a background in psychology and counseling, I believe in the incredible power of the mind to create lasting change. Through a personalized and client-centered approach, I utilize hypnotherapy as a tool to explore the subconscious mind, identify limiting beliefs, and facilitate transformative experiences. Together my goal is to create a safe and supportive space for you to navigate your unique journey towards healing and personal growth.

I have over 24 years of experience in one-on-one and couples therapy, successfully treating adults and adolescents, many of whom are going through transitions in their lives. I have extensive experience in relationship issues, divorce, blended families, military issues, parenting, job and academic stress, sexual identity issues, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. During a comprehensive assessment, I help my clients identify areas of satisfaction as well as areas they would like to change.

Do you ever feel like things are okay, but not OK at the same time? Are there times when an unwanted feeling, thought, or behavior keeps you from being the person you wish to be? Do you believe you are suffering from a choice you made or somebody else made? I believe everybody deserves more than happiness, but to obtain a level of peace. Sometimes, life sucks. It’s scary. It’s frustrating. It’s lonely. It’s unfair… It’s filled with constant change. One thing that will remain the same is the sun and moon rising and setting. With each day passing, I believe there is an opportunity for growth and new discovery.

Do you feel life is out of balance, unfulfilling or incomplete? Do you struggle with change, even though you know life could be better? Be Well Oak City, PLLC offers individual psychotherapy to adults seeking positive change towards health and mental health wellness. "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken." (Oscar Wilde) I will help you clarify your visions and values, set goals and overcome barriers. If you are seeking change in any area of your life, including mind-body connection, physical wellness, spirituality, personal and professional development and relationships and communication, I would be honored to work with you.

Are you worried, fearful or depressed? Is it interfering with your life goals? Would you like guidance, options and a new perspective? I can help you gain clarity through compassionate listening, honest feedback, and a focus on results. My goal is that you learn skills to maintain the changes that satisfy you. If you desire a greater ability to understand and control your emotions and feel content, I can help you. We will focus on getting the results you need to live a more satisfying life.

The clients I serve find themselves being negatively impacted by unfortunate experiences in their lives. The three most prevalent commonalities are anxiety, stress, and prolonged feelings of sadness or depression. These symptoms can be accompanied by experiences of loss; loss of appetite, money, function, energy, employment, relationships, and oftentimes pleasure. This psychological distress can be rooted in fear, guilt, loneliness, disappointment, anger, resentment, and simple dissatisfaction.

I specialize in working with clients who are battling issues with depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, grief and loss, substance use, relationships, medical issues and difficulty coping with chronic health (kidney disease, cancer, etc), effects of trauma, feelings of worthlessness, being lost in life, self esteem, self love, goal setting, finding solutions, loneliness, and employment. I also help people who just need to vent and get it out (talk therapy). I also specialize in helping people use assertive communication to help better communication with others for the betterment of themselves for the present and the future.

I have always had an interest in not only how our minds, bodies, and spirits are connected, but also what takes place when an imbalance exists and then how to implore healing. I look at an individual through a holistic lens, and use this approach, when appropriate. A part of this holistic approach, I have the belief that as a part of the world and universe in which we live, that we are all, interconnected and operate as a part of a dynamic system. I am especially interested in how mindfulness practices, yoga, animals, and nature, might influence the ideas of acceptance and non-judgment, and overall, positively affect an individual.

As a health psychologist, I provide support to the whole person, not one condition, and consider the biological, psychological, and social factors that may enhance or get in the way of your satisfaction in life. I seek to foster a collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment so that we can work together to create and implement a plan that leads to fulfillment.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

My treatment style incorporates both client-centered and empirically-validated approaches in order to best serve each client's unique needs. I collaborate with clients to develop solution-focused goals that strengthen their interpersonal, behavioral, and emotional functioning.

Do you feel dissatisfied with life? Are you struggling with finding purpose? Maybe you notice that you tend to care for others before you care for yourself. You could have a hard time saying “no” or even feel guilty afterwards. These predicaments can stem from not intentionally and holistically honoring our being; mind, body, and spirit. Discipline and consistency, as values of self-care, can be incredibly difficult to implement in a world that’s fast-paced and focused on instant gratification. From racial disparities to social injustice, society forces us to adapt to inequity; how are you caring for you?
