About
I feel God connects me to people I am meant to help. In my work with clients my primary goal is to create a safe place for people to explore whatever is challenging them without fear of being judged and in complete confidentiality. By providing a safe place I can gently guide my clients through their pain and challenges to a place where they feel understood and validated. From that place we can begin to explore goals and work toward accomplishing them. I help people use their relationship with God to guide them to where they want to be and to where He intends for them to be. We enter this spiritual journey together. I also use my knowledge of neuroscience to teach my clients how to calm, soothe and relax their minds to treat anxiety and anger. I use spirituality to help people out of the darkness of depression. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, internal family systems therapy and Imago couples therapy. Specialities include relationship issues, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, work place issues, infertility and grief and loss.
Walk & Talk Beach Therapy
A Pastor once shared with me that nature is God's office. I agree!
Walk and Talk therapy allows for the benefits of the therapeutic bond between client and counselor in a natural setting which invites the healing effects of nature into our work. Natural Vitamin D from the sun, the balancing and grounding properties of the earth and the calming and powerful energy of the sea offer unparalleled healing properties. I provide walk and talk therapy as well as light body movement therapy on beautiful Sunset Beach in the southern most part of North Carolina. This beach offers expansive spaces to walk and talk privately as well as nature trails to explore while harnessing the calming and healing effects of the ocean. Clients seeking walk and talk therapy will need medical clearance from their physician. Sessions will be held in all seasons, weather permitting utilizing tele-health sessions in inclement weather.
Counseling is a second career for me and it is my calling. I have very strong faith that has been the cornerstone of my life. I believe that when we focus on God's will for each of us we find freedom, peace and ultimate joy which allows us to become all that we are meant to be. It is an honor for me to be on a spiritual journey with my clients.
