Hand Made Dreams LLC is committed to providing comprehensive and quality mental health services within the community. In response to the COVID-19 public health crisis, we recognize the increased need to provide compassionate support as we continue to establish a new routine. Our licensed clinicians are available to meet the needs of both adults and adolescents through individual, and family/couples counseling.

My treatment style incorporates both client-centered and empirically-validated approaches in order to best serve each client's unique needs. I collaborate with clients to develop solution-focused goals that strengthen their interpersonal, behavioral, and emotional functioning.

I am an In-Home and Virtual Mental Health Therapist who has 20 years of experience in working with children, adolescents and adults within their homes and on-line. I have traveled to client's homes, all over Durham County and Chapel Hill, to work with their mental health needs. Therapies include individual and family. I truly attempt to meet my clients where they are. What my clients experience is significant and needs to be heard for growth and change to occur. In this way, clients are able to find greater trust and strength in their self-awareness and personal development.

The counseling process is a partnership. I believe some of life's most difficult moments can be processed and healed through the therapeutic relationship. Whether you are in a hard life transition, dealing with chronic anxiety, or working on a challenging relationship, counseling can be the vehicle to help get you to the other side. I seek to build a compassionate, safe relationship with you so that we can work together to explore what’s happening in your life. Our team strives to support you in the way that you need, while providing comprehensive services based on evidence based modalities.

I have experience working with a wide range of concerns including anxiety and stress, depression and other mood disorders, relationships and interpersonal issues, adjustment and acculturation, body image and eating concerns, identity development, and academic issues. I consider myself a generalist and am comfortable treating a variety of presenting issues; however, I am particularly interested in helping clients explore concerns related to perfectionism, sexual orientation, romantic relationships, and racial or ethnic identity development.

I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children, teenagers and young adults struggling with anxiety, stress, OCD, and depression. I also have extensive expertise and training working with children and families coping with chronic medical conditions and pain, such as stomach aches, headaches, and food allergies. In addition, I conduct thorough psychoeducational assessments, ADHD evaluations, and early kindergarten entry assessments to help children, teenagers, and college students achieve academic success.

I have over 25 years experience doing therapy and evaluations for all ages. As a therapist, through compassion, listening, and active skill-building, I help individuals, couples and families increase understanding of issues and make changes needed to function better and feel better. While 25 years of experience guides my understanding of issues and my ability to help, in that time I have also developed a deep respect for the uniqueness of each person who comes to me, thus I approach each person with an eye to that uniqueness and how we can harness it to improve things.

Struggling with worry, anxiety, or feeling hopeless? Going through significant life transitions? Ready to make changes because life just cannot continue on its current path? Maybe you’ve been struggling to make family or you’re finding parenthood is not what you always dreamed. Perhaps you need to feel less alone as you process fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, or postpartum depression/anxiety. My clients report feeling less stressed, less anxious, and less negatively impacted by trauma because they are equipped with skills to unhook from negative feedback loops that are leaving them feeling stuck.

I have over 30 years of experience working in both the Private and Public sectors. My mission is to provide professional, quality and comprehensive services to a diverse population. My goal is to provide a caring and safe environment while facilitating the therapeutic journey by promoting self-awareness, coping skills, problem-solving, healing, and reaching a balance in life.

Ready to transform your life and rediscover your inner strength? With a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary School, I bring a unique blend of pastoral wisdom, Christian counseling expertise, and clinical training to our sessions. From group therapy, marital/pre-marital counseling, to individual sessions, I’ll be coming in with an open-minded, strengths-based approach. I’m here to guide you through evidence-based techniques like CBT, structural family therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy, tailored to your needs.

I recognize each person as an individual with unique strengths, values and desires. As a part of the therapeutic process, I encourage people to identify and reflect on their own values and to improve their practice of making mindful choices based on those values. People often turn to therapy because they feel overwhelmed, alone, or disconnected. My hope for people receiving therapy is that they will experience a restoration of calm, a feeling of connectedness, and a return to a sense of normalcy. I concentrate on improving people's self-efficacy, the belief that one is able and capable.

*Waitlist Only* Are you coping with stress, relationship difficulties, or loss? Feeling overwhelmed or consumed by intense emotions and thoughts? Distressed by memories of the past or worries about the future? We all need help navigating these understandable human struggles. Maybe you're aware of what isn't working and want help figuring out how to take steps toward change. Maybe you're confused about why you feel so stuck or unhappy. Maybe you have already invested time, money, and energy, with mixed results or limited success. It's common to feel uncertain about how to move forward or whether therapy is the right next step.

I believe that counseling can be transformative at all ages and stages in life. Our constantly changing world presents new challenges everyday. I would be honored to support you in your journey to find answers, meaning, and understanding in this confusing world.

At times, life comes at you fast, and as the old saying goes, "when it rains, it pours". During times of high stress and transition we often forget our ability to strive and thrive through the difficulties. Are you currently feeling stuck on your journey? Dealing with grief and/or loss? Struggling academically? Anxious about day to day uncertainties? You have come to the right place. With encouragement, I believe individuals have the ability to take control, channel their strengths into progress, grow their resiliency, and reconstruct their life trajectory.
