We live in stressful, changing, disconnected times. People are feeling exhausted, lonely, powerless and isolated. Many are filled with negative self talk. I help people realize what has kept them stuck and unfulfilled. Together we will develop a plan to remove those barriers so they can become the person they were intended to be; that they WANT to be. If you are tired of promising yourself that tomorrow will be different, let's begin your journey now. As Ernest Hemingway said, " Today is the only day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come will depend on what you do today."
I have over 30 years experience in helping adults/healthcare practitioners with addictions/relapse/feeling "stuck" in their recovery, depression, anxiety, grief, compassion fatigue, shame, trauma, codependency, forgiveness and self acceptance. As a nurse, I can assist with co-occurring medical/physical issues. I believe everyone is capable of change.
My practice is based on mutual trust and respect. I believe trust is built through honesty, warmth and authenticity. My counseling style is caring, open, engaging and collaborative. I believe in the innate goodness of every human being. My goal is to provide you a safe space for you to explore and process your deepest pain and struggles, so you can move on.

Groups
Virtual-Nurses Aftercare Group for Addiction
I work with nurses as they complete treatment and begin the process of working with the Board of Nursing and returning to work. We address topics such as shame, guilt, compassion fatigue, burnout, perfectionism, relapse prevention, family issues and how to deal with feelings appropriately. This aftercare program is approved by the NC Board of Nursing.

Nurses Aftercare & Support Group
Nurses struggle with asking for help. This group brings nurses together so they can learn how to take better care of themselves. "Nursing" is the most trusted profession but many times that is at the expense of the nurse and their health. Many demands are put on nurses (patients, physicians, administration) and it is a struggle to get everything done. This hopeless feeling can lead to substance use disorders, depression and anxiety. The group will help the nurse navigate these challenges so they can return to work healthier-physically, mentally and emotionally. Come join our nurse facilitated group.
