Career Counseling Therapists in Raleigh, NC

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I recognized and value the trust my clients place in me. I strive every day to provide quality and exceptional service. I truly care for all my clients and work diligently to help them find the answers they seek. Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to study social work and mental health.​I transitioned from crisis intervention into counseling because I really enjoy talking with people about their interpersonal relationships. Also, I feel like I have a knack for helping.

When your thoughts or actions do not match your feelings, or you find that certain relationships are a problem, it could be time to explore what hidden patterns might be impacting your life. Because you are always in relationship to those in your world, whether family, work, or with a significant other; it is important to find ways to calm overwhelming emotions, overcome negative feelings, develop effective communication skills and discover the real issues in your life. In a non-invasive therapy environment, together we will build permanent resources to support you in being who you truly want to be.

Sometimes we all can use a little help on life's journey--when things seem dark, when we feel like we are drowning in emotions, challenges, or thoughts, or when we just need someone to help with focus as we set a course toward achieving our goals. That is what therapy is all about! Therapy is not having someone with all the right answers tell you what to do or doing things to you; it is having a professional guide to draw out your goals and strengths, to breathe hope into difficult times, and to assist with perspective and skills. As Rumi said, "The wound is where the light enters you." Come, find hope, and refuel for your journey.

Do you need a safe, caring, and comfortable space to share your unique story, to feel heard and understood? Do you need clarity in your personal or professional life with what you really want or what matters to you? Perhaps you need help navigating a new role or identity you are entering or just need to feel more comfortable being you. Working together over time, I believe we will discover what is standing in the way of moving forward in your relationships or work so you can get to that next level, communicate what you need authentically, and get that breakthrough.

My theory of counseling is that people have specific behaviors they would like to change, which are caused by our irrational, self-defeating beliefs learned from earlier life experiences. My goal will be to assist with changing undesired behaviors and circumstances. Counseling is a personal exploration that leads to major changes in your life perspectives and decisions. These changes may affect significant relationships and understanding of yourself. Some of these life changes could be temporarily distressing. Together we will work to achieve the best possible results for you.

Often, the relationships and experiences that make up our lives shape our view of ourselves and become the filter through which we view the world. Do you find yourself feeling insecure in social settings or relationships, waiting to be rejected? Maybe outwardly you thrive in relationships, career, and health, but inside you feel sadness and hopelessness, a lack of emotional and mental strength, or overwhelming anxiety and fear. Are you a parent or spouse that's struggling to connect with your partner or child? Perhaps you're a teen or young adult struggling with fear, sadness, stress/pressure over the future, or low self-esteem?

I enjoy meeting clients right where they are and partnering with them to consider and predict the natural consequences which come to bear based on choices. My approach to therapy integrates mindfulness with solution-focused and reality-based approaches. I am EMDR trained as well and we can incorporate this as needed. Often we are driven into counseling either by an internal or external demand which no longer allows us to exist as we are. Counseling is about making a choice to manage life differently, or not--and not making a choice, is nevertheless still a choice.

My clients are couples, professionals, or leaders seeking mental health counseling to help them build healthier coping skills and insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They want to learn to manage stress, improve their relationships, and maximize their potential through therapy.

They are looking for a caring and supportive therapeutic environment to explore solutions and create sustained positive change. My clients find strength, higher self esteem, resilience, and confidence.

I help people get their unhelpful thoughts out of their way. Your thoughts keep throwing useless “solutions” at you that never really work and sometimes even make things worse. Your mind may even come up with new problems that do not exist with thousands of “what if” scenarios - as if it’s getting paid by the minute to work against you. It can be frustrating and stressful to go through this same loop day after day. I get why you are ready to try something new. I can help you build the skills you need to respond to difficult thoughts in healthy and effective ways.
