Find a Therapist in Monroe, North Carolina.

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. Please reach out for a free phone consultation or send me an email to further discuss your needs and get a clear picture of how therapy will address your concerns.

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.

Change, healing, and growth is a process. It is a process of becoming more whole in being and in relationship. I consider all of who you are in this process: body, mind, and spirit. Each person's journey is unique, and I will guide you as we move through work on this process together. We look at your history, thoughts, emotions, and relational interactions and take a relational and emotion-focused approach with practical ways ways to attend to what you need. My hope is that you grow in understanding and relationship with yourself and others, emotions, how issues affect you, interactions with others and life, the ability to handle future challenges successfully.

Life can be hard, and psychotherapy can help. Having someone there for you, who is in your corner, that you feel truly safe with can be incredibly healing. Knowing that you can talk about whatever you want, truly, without judgement is powerful. Clients come to me looking for psychotherapy to help manage life's stressors, relationship struggles, work troubles, and more. I'm not going to tell you that "others have it worse" or "be grateful for what you have." Instead, we can honor that your struggles and feelings are real, and then work together to find ways for you to thrive in all areas of your life.
