Psychodynamic Therapists in Guilford County, NC

I believe something very powerful happens when a person gives themselves the space to slow down, connect, and be vulnerable. This can result in living more authentically and fully-whether life is smooth or you're surrounded by pain and suffering. I believe emotional healing is possible and desire to help facilitate clients' processes as much as possible. Together we will create and work towards positive, therapeutic goals. I'm grounded in person-centered counseling, which emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and acceptance. I also often utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

I most often take a Psychodynamic approach however, I utilize techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral, Gestalt, Solution-Focused, Narrative and Rogerian theories. I believe that counseling is a unique relationship, constructed within a supportive, warm, and safe environment. You are the author of your own life story and the expert of YOU ... so we'll work together to determine what you want that life story to be.

Feeling disconnected from yourself? Feeling stuck? I am a trauma informed and holistic therapist aligning best with person-centered, psychoanalytic, and psychodynamic theories. I enjoy working with individuals searching for clarity, purpose, and momentum within daily life. I believe that personal change becomes more possible when awareness of the self deepens.

Specialty: Anxiety and Inner Child Trauma. Are you at a place in life where you want to achieve your goals and live out your dreams, but you feel stuck? Do you need someone to talk to who will just listen? Do you feel like issues from your childhood or past are affecting how you feel, think, and behave, & are affecting your ability to maintain meaning relationships? I’m a nature-loving psychotherapist. I’ve always used nature to cope with my anxiety & daily life stressors. I’ve been an over-thinker and nature photographer (safespacesisi) since I was 14 & I’ve been practicing in the mental health field since 2018!

My hope as a psychotherapist is to build a relationship based on trust, respect, and hopefulness with my clients. I view psychotherapy not only as a way to address symptoms, but as a gateway to more joy, wholeness, and pleasure in our lives.

As a clinician, it is my honor to walk alongside patients who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-image complexities, marital and family struggles. I also enjoy working with patients to discover their own life’s mission and pursuing purpose with passion.

It can be scary to be honest with oneself, let alone with others. Yet, most of us still desire to be seen, loved, and accepted. I work with people curious about how their childhood, cultural background(s), identities, and trauma influence how they relate to themselves, family, lovers, friends, and authority figures. My work centers on anti-racism and the lived experiences of folks who are Queer, Transgender, Polyamourous, or Kinky. I enjoy working with people outside of these identities as well. Modalities I utilize are Relationship Analysis, EMDR, Parts Work, Psychodynamic Techniques, and Sex Therapy.

People often find themselves living "outside" and disconnected from their own experience. Therapy is a place to be seen, known, and understood, so that you can relearn to come home to yourself. My hope is that through our work together you would come to have a living felt sense of your deep worth, as well as make meaning of your cohesive story, accepting all parts of who you have been, who you are, and who you want to be. My job as your therapist is to consistently offer non-judgmental kindness, insight and thoughtful interventions as we partner in moving you toward fuller and more satisfying participation in your own life.

There is no denying that life brings both joy and sorrow. Have you found yourself holding it together and pretending to be ok on the outside but you’re falling apart on the inside? Are you consumed by worry, fear, doubt and constantly question what the future holds for you? Do you feel lost, numb, or alone? If the statements above sound like you, there is hope! You don’t have to go through this difficult time alone. I can help! You and I will work together identifying strengths you already have to improve and navigate the world around you. This therapeutic process may bring laughter and sometimes tears but ultimately healing.
