Find a Therapist near Clayton, NC

Good psychotherapy requires a "match" between client(s) and therapist and avoids "stretching the client to fit the couch." Finding the right psychotherapist involves both clinical skill and personality match. A good therapist is genuine, warm, and offers a human relationship with guidance and good advice. What I offer as a clinician is an active style of psychotherapy with a high regard for where you are in your journey, what your goals are, and what things can be pointed out and changed along the path to growth and improved relationships. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples and families providing child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy. My approach is inclusive of Eastern and Western thought, and includes the fields of neuropsychology, neurolinguistics, emotional and cognitive intelligence, and communication skills. I have extensive training in the fields of bereavement, terminal and chronic illness. Although my graduate specialty included child and adolescent therapy in my family training, I enjoy working with a range of ages and problems.

PROVIDING BOTH IN PERSON AND TELETHERAPY SERVICES. I am a licensed psychologist who has provided psychotherapy services to children, adolescents and adults dealing with a variety of concerns, including life stress, relationship issues, depression and anxiety. In therapy, I use a client-centered, strength-based, cognitive-behavioral approach and work collaboratively with you to explore your thoughts and how they are impacting your feelings. Together, we establish treatment goals that are most relevant to your concerns. I primarily work with adult clients who confront anxiety, often triggered by current life, relationship and work situations and stresses. We partner together and use cognitive-behavioral strategies to increase coping skills and reduce the distress and impairment that may be occurring as a result of psychological and psychosocial stress. I believe that a connected and comfortable client-therapist relationship is integral to the success of therapy services.

Every person is an individual and deserves to be respected as they are. I work to make sure that we build treatment around your needs, ensuring that you are part of guiding your own treatment. Using knowledge, heart, humor, and care we will, together, heal wounds and develop personal resources to alleviate the concerns that brought you here.

We all have a story to tell and together we can begin to write yours.

My treatment approach is collaborative and person-centered, shaped in part by my own experience after losing my parents at a young age. This personal journey inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others navigate life’s challenges with compassion and resilience. I integrate evidence-based practices, such as cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques, with a supportive therapeutic relationship to meet each client where they are. By focusing on strengths and lived experiences, I strive to create a safe, validating space where clients feel empowered to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.
