I often describe therapy as learning to learn about yourself. Many times the biggest challenge is becoming truly aware of our own experiences, and then being honest with ourselves about these experiences. This can be scary! And exciting! Once we begin to be honest with ourselves, we can examine patterns, heal old wounds, learn new skills, and begin to shift our ways of interacting - with ourselves, each other, and the world!

Hi there! I work with adults 18+. My therapeutic interests include promoting resilience in those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, parental mental health, and substance use concerns. I believe each client is unique, and therefore tailor my interventions based on the individual. I utilize techniques from several evidence-based therapy modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused therapies.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20+ years experience working with individuals and families.

With more than forty years of experience, I've helped clients with a wide range of issues: family of origin/childhood issues, grief and loss, life transitions, communication skills, and relationship concerns. I focus on the very core of client's difficulties - not just 'fixing the problem,' but grappling with what's underneath the issue. With couples, I've worked with everything from relationship dissatisfaction/boredom, affairs, communication issues, sex and intimacy, etc. As a civilian counselor on military bases for several years, I understand the unique pressures and challenges facing service members and families. Let's talk!

You're not broken; you adapted. My role as a trauma therapist is to provide a space where you can reconnect with your innate wisdom. Together, we'll gently examine the coping strategies you've used to protect yourself and unwind from the stories that no longer serve you, so that you can return to your authentic self. I love doing this work with young and young-at-heart adults on topics of attachment trauma, family-of-origin trauma, sudden loss, or recent trauma. I typically work well with those who find themselves people-pleasing, overthinking, performing perfectionism, or those who feel perennially different and/or stuck in life.

I love helping women through times of transition. When I look at my own life the times of transition were often the most painful and also the places where the most growth and change happened. If you find yourself needing extra support as your try to become pregnant, struggle with mood issues during your pregnancy or postpartum; need help transitioning into parenthood; want to improve yourself and your relationships, or any other of life's many transitions I would love to help you along your journey.

Our current world is so stressful. Demands are continuously asked of us from work, school, family, and friends. It’s hard to keep up! Having a place to land with a nonjudgmental, caring ear can help. I specialize in supporting individuals with anxiety, trauma, burnout, self-doubt, and grief (including pregnancy loss). I also work with teens, couples, and families struggling with communication difficulties, parenting concerns, or relationship conflict. If you are hoping to reduce your daily overwhelm, unpack your trauma, process a loss, or improve your connections with your partner or family, this is the place for you.

As a somatic psychotherapist, I focus on supporting adults who are grappling with the very real, very human and very complex experiences of chronic stress, trauma, and grief. My approach is rooted in mindfulness, somatics and neuroscience through my training in Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, Yoga and Meditation. From this lens, I offer a creative synthesis of tools - tailored to each individual - that are further enhanced by in-depth work in psychodynamic therapy, somatic parts work, and relational-attachment dynamics.

We live in a world that constantly tells us we’re not enough—not attractive enough, not successful enough, not a good enough partner, too emotional, too needy... the list goes on. It’s no wonder so many of us find ourselves in relationships that echo those same messages, leaving us feeling either not enough or way too much. My clients are often navigating relationship confusion—wondering if their relationship is healthy, figuring out how to move on after a breakup, or asking themselves, should I stay or should I go? (shoutout to The Clash). They're ready to feel more confident, more grounded, and more like themselves again.

I believe emotional honesty is at the heart of any healthy relationship and to model that here is my truth, I did not set out to become a trauma or addiction therapist. In my early years, I wanted to be a cop, actress, or a marine biologist. However, throughout my childhood, I was always drawn to go deep in my relationships. Often being told as a child, I was too deep, or too sensitive. My first therapist in college helped me reframe that narrative, “you experience life deeply”, she said. Born and raised in Charlotte, NC I made my way to the mountains of Western NC just as soon as I could leave home

Since 2012, I have worked with a vast array of clients. If you have been feeling lost, unsure of what's next, feeling increased worry, self-doubt, guilt, or shame—these may be indicators that it’s time to pause. I’d like to help you peel back your layers and make more room to breathe. If relationships have become increasingly difficult to maintain, I’d like to help you build your skills around communication, increasing intimacy, and improving effective dynamics to get your needs met. Sometimes coping through alcohol or drugs is a part of the struggle, and you are safe to talk about this here without judgment or a hidden agenda.

There are times we all feel disconnected, angry, sad, alone in our relationships, stuck in difficult patterns. It can be very painful, and we can feel helpless to change. But we don't have to be alone, and there is help. Counseling is a powerful, proven way for individuals, couples and families to feel supported as they discover the causes and conditions that underlie these difficult, disruptive feelings, and to learn how to break unhelpful cycles, to face the conflicts and fears that confront us all, and, ultimately, to feel more of a sense of security, confidence and well-being.

When certain parts of our life feel out of control, it creates stress can impact many areas of our life. Seeking help can feel like a chore. Not only do you have to find a therapist that feels like a good fit, but you have to tell your story to a stranger. I know all of this, and I want to make it feel easy, productive, and worth your time. I enjoy helping all people, but some of my refined interests include traumatic stress, attachment injuries (vast experience working with adoptees and their families), SUD's, and life transitions. I work with adults, teens, kids, couples and families.

Hi all! Whether you've got a specific pattern you want to change or not sure where to start, I show up ready to attune to you and be flexible. I can lead a guided meditation, offer questions for reflection, let you vent and feel your feelings, come up with a creative activity, or use body/breath movement to ground– whatever you need in that moment. Therapy doesn't have to be just ONE way. I also weave in "parts work" and can do attachment-based EMDR to resource and heal.
Therapy is truly all about the connection. I lead with genuine-ness and humanity so that we can connect and you can heal the parts you came to heal.

I’m drawn to working with people who are navigating ambivalence: about who they are, what they want, and where they are going. My approach is transdiagnositc, meaning I emphasize the process of change rather than focusing on a specific diagnosis. Whether you’re exploring relationship structures, working to shift unwanted habits, questioning identity, rethinking your sense of purpose, or choosing what’s next for your life, I offer space to get curious about your process without pressure or judgement. Together, we’ll explore what is important to you and how to create a life aligned with what you want.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy - a warm and supportive approach that accompanies people through a deeper exploration of unconscious thinking, including dreams and long-held relational patterns that are outside of one's awareness. Often people are stuck repeating something or attracting the same experiences again and again. The psychoanalytic process is carefully designed to help you move through these stuck points and work deeply with complex aspects of the self so you can emerge to more genuinely appreciate your life. Through it, you should notice significant changes in how you understand yourself.

Real change is possible. Successful therapy explores human life in its fullest sense - what we do, what we think, and what we feel - while being grounded in the deep experience of living in a human body. My primary therapeutic framework is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which provides a rich, evidence-based, blend of mindful and somatic interventions, along with a strong cognitive and behavioral orientation. Together, my clients and I examine our deepest values, and how those values are expressed in how we live each day. Our lives are not problems to be solved - they are opportunities to flourish.

I work with my patients to uncover, understand, and free unconscious patterns of relating to self and others. My training background is in Relational and Modern Psychoanalysis, Group Therapy, Attachment, and Buddhist Psychology. I provide psychotherapy to individuals and long-term groups. I also provide clinical supervision to psychotherapists.

Are you having difficulty navigating the changes in your life? These changes can be big or small ones accumulated over time and can affect every aspect of your life. They can affect your self-esteem, your relationships, and your engagement in work or school. These changes often create feelings of confusion, pressure, anxiety, feeling lost, overwhelmed, self-doubt, and a sense of grief. During times of change and transition, it can be invaluable to have a professional outside of your friends and family offer perspective and guidance so that you can take action from a place of inner wisdom, clarity and alignment with your truth.
