Find a Therapist in Lowell, North Carolina.

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.

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.

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.
