If you’re like me, you want to feel connected; connected to self, friends, family, significant others, work, and even fun. Though we want connection, at times life gets in the way, with anxiety, depression, avoidance, a good Netflix show, a bad Netflix show, and the perception of failure. Even the idea of vulnerability in relationship can send us running. I wish I could tell you that if you just do A, B, and C then the pain, fear, discomfort, conflict, and insecurities will all go away and you will have the rich, full, meaningful life that you deserve. Unfortunately, this isn’t the reality that we live in.

I understand the challenges that change, setbacks, and certain circumstances can bring such as frustration, anxiety, hopelessness, disappointment, and worry. I have been there too. But, I also believe any progress is progress, at any pace, and it takes one small step to get us started.

Update: I am now in-network with BCBS of North Carolina! - As we navigate the complex ups and downs of life, it is vital to have a safe space in which we can share, heal, and grow. Part of what it means to be human is to experience difficulties, doubts, and pain from time to time. But without a space to give voice to them, the challenges we face can begin to weigh us down, hold us back, and dominate the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves. In therapy, we’ll work together to give voice to your story — and give you the space, time, and support you need to write your next chapter with intention.

When stress and anxiety build up we can lose sight of our greatest strengths - and downplay our innate ability to overcome adversity. Working with a counselor can help you see yourself and your situation through a different lens. Anxiety, depression, stress - these conditions can narrow our perception, leaving us unable to find paths to better mental health.

After decades spent honing my clinical practice, I have come to believe that personal turbulence unites us all. We have all been "there" in some shape or fashion. My approach, put simply, is partnership. I partner with others to navigate significant transitional moments including illness, loss of identity, complex grief, trauma recovery, and personal discovery. We all experience the tumult of life and are offered opportunities for growth. In my experience I have found that enhanced self-esteem, contact with supportive others, and an understanding of one's coping pitfalls can go a long way in easing the stress inherent in change.
