Obesity Therapists in Conover, NC

Are you still figuring it all out? We all should be! Life is a journey full of personal growth, discovery, and healing. I have witnessed the powerful transformations and healing that occurs when the right therapeutic connection can happen. I am passionate about helping others engage more meaningfully in their lives. While working with me, you will have the space to explore how to change old patterns in your life, gain an understanding of why these patterns exist, and discover new ways of being in the world that fits in with your values.

We each have the wisdom within ourselves to guide us on our life journey. However, we often forget to listen when life around us is loud, confusing or perplexing. Additionally, childhood trauma or old baggage interferes with our listening ability. These distractions prevent us from hearing our own inner wisdom. I am a sojourner with my clients as I help them learn to listen to their own internal wisdom. Together, we work to discover inner healing, peace and life balance in their lives.

I believe that each of us has the potential to achieve most all of the goals that we have. When emotions or behaviors prevent you from reaching your potential, counseling can be very helpful.

Are you or a loved one feeling anxious, depressed, struggling in a relationship,...and you are in need of hope, encouragement, and direction? I consider it an honor to counsel children through adults as I get to share biblical truth as well as pray with those whom I counsel.

Through the truth of God's Word, the power of prayer, and the application of counseling techniques, hope and restoration are available for your heart, mind, and body. I am here, available, and I care.

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?

There comes a moment in everyone's life when you just need someone to listen. Someone to take a moment to lend an emphatic ear and speak truth. Truth that is relatable to the way you think and how you process life. You need a conversation, that will help you with relationships, anxiety, depression, self -esteem, trauma and living with success. A conversation that is not only empirical base but also allow you to use your strengths to help navigate change. Changes that will be life-altering as you apply them in a positive manner throughout your life.

When we are not feeling at our best due to stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, addiction etc., it effects every other aspect of our lives. It takes strength and courage to recognize that something needs to change. I like to work with my clients in a collaborative and supportive style that provides a blend of coaching, interactive interventions and by instilling hope about their future. Where you are today does not mean that you have to be there tomorrow

My ideal client is one who is searching for a deeper understanding of themselves as well as their relationships with the meaningful people in their world. Understanding the complexities of interpersonal dynamics is key to having healthy relationships with oneself, as well as others.

In this work, it is my hope that insight will replace confusion as we embark on the road to a healthy and fulfilling life.
