Therapists for college students near Durham, NC
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families in a variety of settings including residential group home treatment, the foster care system and the public school system. My practice style includes a variety of therapeutic approaches such as: solution focused therapy; cognitive behavioral therapy; and reality therapy using a strengths based approach. I also believe in the benefits of practicing mindfulness and mediation to center ourselves so we can become clearer on our intention for our life. Taking the first step to on your therapy journey can be difficult and I am here to help you start this process. I hope to build a positive and trusting relationship, while helping you navigate your journey through life. I am here to offer a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental space for you to begin your therapeutic process.
My experience is primarily with Gen-Z and Millennials wanting to address anxiety, depression, relational concerns (communication, boundary setting, self-awareness, etc), religious trauma, and life transitions. Some niche areas include: Christians who don't want Christian therapy, exhausted performers / resentful people-pleasers, anxious change-resisters who struggle when newness comes, and those who want to grow in boundary setting and their sense of self. I'm a huge advocate for narrative therapy. Story-telling is healing and gives context for how we became who we are today. As we understand our stories and the labels we've acquired throughout our lives, we gain self-compassion and the ability to more effectively navigate our present-day lives. Please reach out to set up a consult call to see if the therapy vibes are there. If you'd rather text, my text-only number is: (704) 762-1162.
