I've had training for anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, & sexual trauma.
I am solution-focused, and believe that a solid therapeutic relationship is a key to successfully meeting identified goals. Utilizing humor, passion, and dedication to the service of others I aim to create a safe environment while challenging behaviors and thoughts to aid in motivation for change. I also use integrative psychotherapy, combining different therapeutic tools and approaches that fit the needs of each individual or situation.

My focus is on anxiety, depression, grief, anger, stress, relationship problems, trauma, domestic violence, disruptive behavior, and adverse life events.
I am a compassionate, board-certified licensed professional counselor. I learned about one of my favorite quotes at summer camp as a child. "For if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to help him up." As a counselor, this quote still resonates with me. My approach is to help you "up" with your challenges through compassion and collaboration. Together, we can develop an individualized, personalized, and comprehensive plan to move forward through difficulties in your life.

Most people that I see in my practice do not have an emotional or psychological illness but are faced with professional or relationship issues that are causing personal distress. These issues when not understood and dealt with can create symptoms of anxiety, depression and a loss of satisfaction in personal, professional, and intimate relationships. They can also interfere with the full expression of a person's unique abilities and the fulfillment of his or her goals.

I work with individuals and couples, as well as children, in both DC and Chapel Hill. I do best with adults who are educated or reflective: many are scientists, artists, health and business professionals, or psychotherapists, and some are not pursuing conventional achievement.Some see me for family or work problems, some for help dealing with a chronic health issue or a loss, some to change longstanding emotional and interpersonal patterns involving anxiety, anger, or intimacy. We may try quick and simple approaches first, because sometimes they work, but if not we can go more deeply into the individual's unique personal narrative.
