Counselors near Garner, NC

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the clients convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

Biography: How to describe the joy I get when a client connects with me and honors me with their journey? I cannot. I am passionate about hearing stories...clients have stories from their lives that make them unique. In the wrinkles and turns of those stories are the nuggets of wisdom that help each client live their best life. I believe our best moments of growth are during life's transitions - when paths open up or close down and we find ourselves with new choices. Joining a client on their unique path and helping them see the transition from a different perspective gives me joy. I am firmly rooted in attachment theory and I bring this aspect to individual counseling to help clients build or strengthen their support networks to move towards their imagined futures. Client communication is strong focus of sessions - in how clients speak to themselves and how they communicate with others. I would be honored to work with you in this part of your journey.
