Find a Therapist in Fletcher, North Carolina.

My approach as a psychotherapist is that I look for strengths and solutions. My sessions are longer (2 hours) to give enough time to share what there is to get done and how it is affecting clients functioning, as well as to add some processes that calms the nervous system and change problematic patterns that are not beneficial, and end the session with some mindfulness relaxation to integrate our work. My commitment to all clients is that they will leave the session calmer, clearer than when they came in. My motto is clear focused mind, calm relaxed body, and creative spirit

I offer online psychotherapy to adult clients of various ages who need or desire the unique benefits of online counseling and who are appropriate for this therapeutic modality. I enjoy helping clients draw connections between their emotions, thoughts, feelings, physical experiences and behavior to empower themselves with greater self-awareness, understanding and practical skills to change their lives for the better. I integrate several therapeutic frameworks and match the therapeutic approach and techniques to the client’s needs so I can offer thoughtful, practical and personalized support. I also offer online consultation to parents of young children who wish to enhance their child’s social and emotional development.

I pracatice holisitc therapy that engages mind, body and spirit. I try to create an accepting environment that feels safe and conducive to honest open conversation. I also help clients identify their inner "parts" and to engage in a useful dialogue with them. Healing comes from insight, selfawareness and behavioral change. We work together to make sure these changes are occuring inorder for the client or couple to have a more enjoyable life with successful relationships.

People often choose therapy to address "stuck" places in their lives - relationship patterns, unhealthy habits and addictions, pervasive, negative thoughts - that are rigid and self-defeating. It takes energy to change, and if a person has felt stuck for a long time, they may at first be overwhelmed and stressed. I offer clients in my psychotherapy practice a safe, nonjudgmental space to build self-trust, self-understanding and self-compassion, and most importantly, to be heard and believed.

I offer individual couple counseling if you want to improve your relationship, but your partner isn't yet on board for counseling. Of course, marriage and couple counseling is best done with both partners, but you don't have to wait. Through counseling you'll gain a richer understanding of your relationship and will take that clarity, energy, and renewed commitment into interactions with your partner. Each addition moment of connection or conflict that's avoided contributes to enriching your relationship. Partners form non-conscious patterns... which become like ruts in a dirt road. Even one person discovering these habits can shift them and create a more fulfilling relationship.
