Therapists in Chapel Hill, NC

My approach as a therapist is relational. I see therapy as a chance to connect with another human in a protected relationship that allows for greater openness and honesty. In the safety of our relationship, I challenge my clients so that we get beneath the surface to gain insight, find greater meaning, grounding, and deeper connection. I specialize in work with men, those experiencing divorce, life transitions, and relationship issues, and struggling with substance use.

The path to living more fully is an adventure, one I believe has transformed my own life. Each day I am honored to join people along a path of recovery, self-exploration, and healing. I have helped people break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. My role as your counselor is to be a knowledgeable, genuine, and empathetic guide along this journey and provide a safe and supportive environment to do so. I help people live their best lives, by reaching more authenticity, self-awareness, and making behavioral changes. I primarily offer telemental health counseling with options for counseling in Winston-Salem.

Is your relationship what you want it to be? Whether you want to strengthen your connection, or you're worn out from frequent fighting, hurt by broken trust, or considering separation or divorce, the wisest first step you can take is to get the right help. As a couples therapy specialist, I help partners gain clarity about themselves, re-establish trust, improve interaction, teach them how to manage conflict, heal from hurt and betrayal, and rebuild connection, friendship and intimacy. Many couples give up too soon, without getting help. But where there is a flicker of love, there is hope!

*My Practice is currently full.* I began a search over 20 years ago that allowed me to experience healing in ways that honor the entire human being -not just the mind. My approach is one that honors each client's strengths and path towards wholeness. I empower clients towards their own self-healing. My work is integrative - utilizing mindfulness and inviting the soul/spirit, mind & body to drive the process of therapy. I specialize in non-pathologizing therapies. I strive to create an atmosphere of safety first and foremost. I feel that spirituality is an integral part of the healing process.

I rely on a strength-based, collaborative approach, meeting adult and young adult clients with warmth and compassion. I believe that we are all looking to be our best selves and have the resources within us to get there. I have spent over twenty years as a therapist, with extensive experience helping clients navigate work/life balance, addiction and recovery, trauma, parenting, family and relationship dynamics and life transitions. I offer EMDR for trauma therapy, a variety of approaches for individuals exploring the impact of substance use or codependency in their lives and support during particularly stressful life stages.
