Are you a parent or parent-to-be who feels like this is not what you thought it would be, and that there has to be a way to feel better? Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, issues related to pregnancy or parenting, self-esteem or relationship issues, I specialize in the unique issues of women. As a maternal metal health specialist, I am uniquely attuned to the challenges of parenting, pregnancy and fertility- including grief and loss as it relates to pregnancy and/or fertility. I have had extensive training to be able to offer help and comfort, and as a mom of 3, I have personal experience as well.

I work with clients to identify areas of life that are causing problems and then replace them with adaptive thoughts, behaviors, and ultimately emotions. Encompassing the following areas; life changes or challenges, issues surrounding infertility, prenatal/perinatal/postpartum concerns, medical concerns, parenting skills, mid life crisis, childhood trauma, and clinically significant anxiety and/or depression. I work with teens and adults. Therapy involves hard work, that is why it's difficult to initiate, and why I want to be there to support you move towards your therapy goals.

Parenting has been challenging for a while now. Your child has become defiant, disrespectful, and seems to have anger outbursts most days of the week. You’ve read countless self-help tips on managing your child’s behavior- time outs, rewards, punishments, spankings. These things worked for a couple of weeks, but there have been no long-term results from any of them. You always end up back at square one. Although, you don’t want to admit it, you’ve begun to dislike your child. You feel desperate for a change in your child’s behavior. You also feel hopeless that a change is possible. Is this what parenting is supposed to be like?

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with sex, sexuality, and intimacy-related issues, stress and anxiety, work/performance stress, relationship issues, MK/expat issues, family relationships, faith deconstruction, postpartum concerns, & parenting issues.

I work with teens and adults to learn skills for embracing all parts of themselves, for bringing out and using their strengths, and for thriving in environments that may not be set up to appreciate and accommodate their unique way of being in the world. You don't have to hide who you are. Who you are is beautiful. I believe that deep and meaningful healing comes from bodies being able to be their full, integrated selves. Trauma can get in the way of this. Environments that are not affirming can get in the way of this. Education systems that do not accommodate the varied ways individuals learn can get in the way of this.

I provide individual therapy and parenting support. I specialize in the treatment of: Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Loss, and Maternal Mental Health.

Are you stressed? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Down? Scattered? Stuck in your own head? Do you want: Life to get better? To feel better? To know what you want and how to get there? To wake up excited to go to work, feeling alive, useful, and engaged? To be healthier, physically and mentally? Have you experienced a loss? Are you still reeling? Grief-stricken? Unsure how to move on?

Everyone struggles at times. You might face challenging life circumstances, or maybe you are having trouble coping with painful emotions or painful relationships. You do not have to face life's challenges alone. I offer therapy for adults, couples, parents, and teens who are struggling with difficult situations or changes in emotions.

Navigating life’s ever changing course can be daunting at times. Your thoughts and concerns truly matter. Having support to help guide you through, puts you at an advantage to better handle what challenges you might be facing. As a therapist, I can assist you with anxiety, depression, transitioning, emotional challenges, relationship/marital challenges and refreshers, adolescent concerns, parenting & family dynamics, identity discovery and so much more. I do so by fostering authenticity, a positive, safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere. You will have my undivided attention in order to provide you with the best opportunity to process.

I believe all people have a deep desire to be heard and understood. Creating safe spaces to explore the issues of life is what I am passionate about. I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals. My goal is to be a partner with you on your journey toward healing your relationships.

My clients benefit from the opportunity to have a supportive therapist that is able to meet them where they are. Although they are looking to experience growth and develop the tools to manage neurodivergent diagnoses, family conflict, challenging behavior, or family conflict, they feel safe in knowing that in our sessions, who they are today is enough. They are able to thrive with the support of learning who they are today is worthy of the goals they have set.

Choosing to seek counseling can be a life changing process. I aim to provide a warm and comforting atmosphere to those seeking to take this step in their lives. I believe that my clients are the experts on themselves and that I use my knowledge to support and guide them along the way. I integrate perspectives from person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approaches to be with my clients. I understand that change may be uncomfortable, which is why I aim to challenge and support you when it may be necessary. I accept each client as they are and aim to provide a non-judgmental environment in which they can grow.

Feeling disconnected from yourself? Feeling stuck? I am a trauma informed and holistic therapist aligning best with person-centered, psychoanalytic, and psychodynamic theories. I enjoy working with individuals searching for clarity, purpose, and momentum within daily life. I believe that personal change becomes more possible when awareness of the self deepens.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and families seeking to improve relationships (with themselves and others), family dynamics, emotional well-being, anger/stress management, parenting, and anxiety/depression. My counseling approach incorporates techniques that emphasize healthy communication, trust-building, and the teaching of effective coping skills.
