Find a Therapist in Landis, North Carolina.

I offer an approach to counseling that is solution focused. I work with people's strengths and help them get to the point where they can make choices to resolve their issues. I then provide guide them through the choices they make. I am a family systems therapist and look at their family of origin, their current relationships, and their spiritual beliefs in an integrated therapy approach. I am holistic based, so I look at their health and lifestyle influences that may be contributing to their problems.

Starting therapy can be one of the most important actions a person can take, and I honor the feelings of hope, uncertainty and anxiety that this can create. I will try to make the experience helpful and worthwhile through my active, supportive listening and interest, and the strong belief that, with enough work, everyone can heal and achieve their goals. When I’m with my client our relationship is most important and I try to cultivate trust and feelings of safety that they can say anything and everything. In my twenty-six years as a therapist I have successfully helped many clients with anxiety, low energy, sleep issues, professional struggles, and depression.

My approach to psychotherapy is to give that individual choice and control back in their life. I utilize deferent approaches and educate you on each as we go through this. I partner with you in this journey. I believe that you are in need of healing and not something that need to be fixed. One of my main approaches is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I use this to restructure and identify thoughts and create a new way of thinking in the areas of need.

As a licensed individual, marriage, and family therapist, I pay special attention to how past and present relationships shape identity and influence stress. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and with various stressors including chemical and behavioral addictions such as compulsive technology use or compulsive sexual behavior, mood disorders such as depression or bi-polar disorder, anxiety and panic disorders, dissociative processes, personality disorders, occupational stressors, and stressful relationship dynamics.

The Experiential process is structured to encourage safe exploration of emotions, thoughts, behaviors contained in the experience with a third object to develop insight into behavior patterns and defense mechanisms for coping with life. The therapeutic relationship is the vehicle through which the healing and growth process occurs as much of the new learning is in the context of how it plays out with the support of the therapist in the immediate environment. The task orientation of the activities and techniques allow for the client to focus with the therapist on the third object to resolve the issue together. Client empowerment, personal responsibility, and self- determination is promoted.
