Individual Counseling

Compassionate Care

Are you plagued by anxiety, self-doubt, and negative thoughts? Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed by the day-to-day stress that life brings? If you are ready, I will join with you on your journey toward positive change in your life and relationships. I work with adults, teens and 'tweens in individual sessions.  I provide counseling services in a warm, inviting space, collaborating with YOU to create a path to the changes you want to see in your life. My approach is compassionate, and is a good fit for those in search of a therapist with calming presence. I use an affirming, strengths-based perspective, helping you to experience peace and clarity as you gain coping skills, increasing your ability to deal with life's  stressors effectively and experience life joyfully.

Couple and Relationship Counseling

Strengthening Connections

Satisfying relationships can be hard work.  Like anything worth having, they require attention and maintenance.  If you have found that your relationship has been running on auto-pilot and is in need of a tune up, or you have been having the same conflict over and over again, couples counseling can help strengthen or rebuild the connection that led you to decide "this is my person."  I offer premarital and couple's counseling that focuses on getting back to the LOVE that you have for one another.  

Online and Distance Counseling

Get the Most out of Life

Maybe you have decided that you're ready to give counseling a try, but have a less than flexible schedule.  Online counseling may be a way to get the help that you are seeking outside of the office setting.  For those living in North Carolina, I offer online counseling. You will receive the same care and support that you would in my office from the comfort of your own home or office.  To participate in therapy virtually, you will need a computer with high speed internet connection, a web cam and a private location to meet.

Premarital, Couple and Relationship Counseling

Strengthening  and Rebuilding Connections

Satisfying relationships grow where there is understanding.  Filling your relationship with honest communication, loving-kindness,  grace and willingness to work through difficulties will help you and your partner to stand the test of time.   If you have found that your relationship has been running on auto-pilot or is in need of a tune up in one of these areas, couples counseling can help strengthen or rebuild vital connections.  As a certified Prepare-Enrich Facilitator,  I offer premarital and couple's counseling to assess your relationship, increase awareness of strengths and stuck spots and reduce your risk for divorce while enhancing your relationship skills.
