ADULT THERAPY
You may understand your patterns and still feel unable to change them. You know what you “should” do, yet anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma, or an important life transition keeps pulling you back into the same thoughts, reactions, or ways of coping.
Therapy gives us room to look at more than what you think. We also pay attention to what happens in your body, how your nervous system responds to stress, and the patterns that show up in relationships and daily life. The goal isn’t to simply manage symptoms. It’s to help you understand what keeps you stuck and develop ways of responding that feel more grounded and more like you.
Our work is collaborative, practical, and paced around what feels safe and useful. You don’t need to arrive with the right words or have everything figured out before we begin. Sessions are available in person in Clayton and online.
HOW I WORK
UNDERSTANDING SOMETHING INTELLECTUALLY DOESN'T ALWAYS CHANGE HOW IT FEELS
I don’t use a one-size-fits-all formula. Depending on what you need, our work may include:
• Evidence-based talk therapy to better understand thoughts, emotions, patterns, and choices
• Mindfulness to notice what is happening without immediately being pulled into it
• Somatic and nervous system approaches to work with how stress and past experiences are carried in the body
• Gentle yoga-informed practices when movement or body awareness feels helpful
These are tools, not requirements. You will never be expected to practice yoga or meditate in therapy. We will use what feels appropriate, respectful, and useful to you.
I am a licensed psychologist in North Carolina (License 4619) and a PsyPact-authorized provider (APIT 11825). I offer in-person therapy in Clayton and online therapy throughout North Carolina, as well as telepsychology to adults located in participating PsyPact states. If you’re unsure whether your location qualifies, contact me and I’ll help you determine whether we can work together.
