Self Esteem Therapists in Garner, NC

Hi! Thanks for visiting my page! There are many reasons you might be looking for a therapist. Maybe you've been feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed. It could be that your relationships or friendships are not what you want them to be. You may be trying to figure out who you are, struggling with something that has happened in your life, or adjusting to a big change. Maybe you simply need to talk to someone you can trust, who won't judge you and will accept you for who you are. Life is full of challenges, especially for young people. Whatever is going on for you, I will support you through it.

Sometimes this thing called life can be difficult to navigate! Job change, relationships, change in family dynamic. etc. all of these things can be difficult to navigate & often require another person or set of ears to help us navigate these life's stressors. Mental health is an important aspect of our lives that often gets overlooked. It can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to tackling your mental health and discovering a better version of yourself. I'm here to help you navigate this journey by providing guidance and support along the way.

I’m glad you are here! My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your needs. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, addictions, self-esteem, stress management, and relationship issues. My approach is individualized and focused on the client being the expert of their own recovery. Therapy can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and learn the skills you need to start/get back on the path of living the quality of life you want and deserve.

Everyone needs someone to talk to. Someone who will listen and encourage, without judgment or condition. Someone who will not give advice, but will collaborate with them in finding the best path on their journey to finding some peace and contentment in a not-so-peaceful world. If you are a child, tween, teen, or adult and this sounds like, you, we could be a great fit. I provide a very realistic, yet compassionate experience for individuals (and families) who experience symptoms relating to anxiety/depression, self-esteem/bullying, Bipolar, ADHD, High-Functioning ASD, Women's Issues, Dom. Violence, Grief, Anger, and Trauma.

Your plate may be full and it may also seem difficult managing it all. Life is hard and it's also hard to make time for therapy, but your future self will thank you. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, open, and supportive environment to foster positive growth and healing. I view therapy with a collaborative lens and value the rapport built between therapist and client to identify needs and concerns and work towards therapeutic goals.

I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Solutions-Focused Therapy, and psychotherapy in addition to other treatment modalities in order to assist in decreasing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, behavioral and emotional dysregulation, poor self-esteem, relationship conflict, poor stress management, and severe and persistent mental illness. I aim to assist patients with building effective coping skills. I believe that my skills and kind personality allow the people I serve to feel supported, hopeful, empowered and more capable of addressing and reducing their symptoms.

Something - some event / loneliness /feeling like a fraud / feeling like something is missing - brought you to look for a resource at this particular time. Wondering "what's wrong with me" What is the message in the difficulty you are having? The answers lie within that message. It is in discovering - or rediscovering - of who you are that you need. It is finding out and getting back to who you genuinely are - only then can you live authentically. Only then can you see your way through. Don't change into someone else. Find - rediscover - your own goodness - your own strengths. Rediscover who YOU are and be that fully.

Humans will be human. This can come with worry, pain, joy, and an infinite spectrum of emotions in between. Maybe life has presented challenges to you, your family, or your relationship that feel overwhelming to navigate alone. Maybe there is a generational pattern that you wish to shift. You are not alone! I work with kids (8 and up), teens, adult individuals, and couples around connecting to their identity including racial trauma and stress, self-esteem, life transitions, addressing complex patterns and dynamics, and with those processing childhood trauma. I am accepting limited clients as of 7/10/24.

Through therapy, I can provide you with the tools needed to work through obstacles and unlearn behavior patterns that may no longer be serving you. Couples - Are you seeking to enhance intimacy in your relationship, resolve conflicts, and/or improve communication? Together, we will collaborate to find solutions and identify strengths in your relationship, leveraging them to overcome barriers and enhance satisfaction.

I am not taking new clients. Are you struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, work-life balance, relationship distress, or parenting? I can help. Or maybe with life transitions such as marriage, divorce, changing jobs, or adjusting through the changes of adolescence into adulthood? I can help. I can help as you take your life in directions that feel positive and healthy. I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor, in private practice since 2006.

I especially enjoy working with emergency service workers who are exposed to repeated trauma in their jobs, however I do not limit my practice to those workers. It can be hard to admit needing help, but sometimes we do. Call for help today and get the help you deserve from a caring compassionate counselor.

Hello and welcome! As a counselor, I strive to make therapy a safe, comfortable place for you to openly express yourself without judgment or shame. I take a collaborative approach that is person-centered and based on the individual's needs. Utilizing this framework allows me to provide you with care and support that caters strictly to you while considering the societal influences that have impacted you as well. I will meet and honor you wherever you are on your journey with empathy, care, and support as we work towards reaching your goals.

In 2024, my clients and I are working on: being mindful with our time, setting our intentions and being accountable. We will conquer those three while working towards our everyday goals. My passion is helping people become and maintain the best versions of themselves. I achieve this by creating a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for all clients. My goal is to assist you in developing and utilizing coping skills, while working toward your personal goals, and establishing and maintaining self-care regiments and mental health.

Do you catch a glimpse of the finish line, yet it seems out of your grasp? Taking these steps can be overwhelming, occasionally sapping our motivation. The journey from where you are to your destination has countless stages. The unexpected detours that life throws at us can block our path and make navigation seem unmanageable. During these moments, I help you identify your desires and empower you to make those positive changes in your life. I understand that making the decision to seek help can be difficult, so I use an approach that is compassionate, direct, and non-judgmental creating an environment where you feel supported.

Struggling, finding your passion for academics or athletics causing constant distress, feeling stuck, pressure with what you are told you should do or be, using drugs/alcohol to relieve anxiety, depression or trying to be someone you are not? Low self-esteem, lack confidence, having difficulty developing meaningful relationships, want to learn a new way to live, a life of happiness, contentment, freedom? My experience is with mental health, addiction, pressures of being an athlete (feels like 100 years ago) and those who have issues with both. Do you want to live a life that you deserve, increase your quality of life?

When you encounter inevitable obstacles in life, I believe all the answers are within you and they can be discovered through counseling. It is a process, not a quick fix, which emphasizes personal and social growth. We will work together to develop insight, make changes in thought patterns, and set realistic goals so that you will experience the benefits of that process. I have spent my career empowering children, adolescents, and adults to overcome a variety of personal obstacles such as self-esteem, ADHD, stress, anxiety or grief.
