Find a Therapist in Lowell, North Carolina.

I assist clients in tapping into their own individual potential and strengths in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. If you are looking to find meaning in your life, develop effective and healthy coping skills and habits, achieve goals, and improve your relationships with others, then call today for a free phone consultation or to set up an appointment.

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.

I work from an integrated Biblical theoretical approach that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, emotional focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and Biblical principles. The amount of sessions are all based on the couples or individuals and their goals, but typically I incorporate a brief therapy approach of 6 to 8 sessions. Appointments are during the evenings and select Saturdays, all by appointment only. I work with couples (pre-engagement, pre-marital, marriage, and divorce recovery), individuals, and families.

Often individual psychotherapy can be helpful for those who are motivated to change personal outlook and behavior. Many individuals come to the conclusion that something in their life needs to change whether it is a relationship pattern, an inability to achieve career goals, or to come to terms with some life circumstance or history. An outside perspective can provide new insight as well as objective feedback and new avenues of consideration. Friends and Family members often are too close to see these issues, too afraid of jeopardizing their relationship with you, or struggling with their own life dilemmas. Most people who ask, 'could I benefit from counseling?' are voicing a need.

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 psychotherapist, I'm fascinated by the complexities of the human mind as well as by the experiences that shape our humanity. I am committed to helping children, adolescents, adults, and couples find healing, joy, self-acceptance, and ultimately peace, within a safe environment by using scientifically researched approaches. All of my clients receive confidential, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed care. Further, I employ an individualized approach and will collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that reflects each client's unique needs and worldview. My job is to help you get to where you want to go.

Psychotherapy is an empirically validated intervention. Simply put...IT WORKS! It's important that you establish a working alliance and feel safe, heard, and that you receive genuine empathy. I offer free consultations to develop an understanding of where we will begin, what therapy entails, and what it means for you. Your experience is tailored to you based on an integrative perspective. I have a desire to create a safe space in which you may flourish. If you seek emotional, mental, or spiritual improvements, I am here to help!
