Find a Therapist in Lake Park, North Carolina.

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.

My psychotherapeutic approach is based on the time-tested intervention that is called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT helps people understand how their thoughts can control their actions and vice versa. Once one of those is altered, the other can subsequently follow, resulting in a happier and healthier life for you and those around you. It is a powerful path to successful treatment with many mental health challenges.

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.
