Let's Connect (919) 883-5637 x101
I have a passion for working with distressed couples & families, and adults recovering from past traumas. I work from an humanistic relational approach to therapy, integrating concepts and techniques from my extensive training and supervision in various client-centered approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (Certified) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (Level III). For over 20 years, I have helped adult couples, families and individuals increase respect, intimacy and trust in their romantic, familial, peer and professional relationships, and helped people heal from past traumas.
I privilege client strengths, healing and growth while facilitating and focusing on the corrective experiences present in the therapeutic relationship including how we work together towards your goals, creating and maintaining an authentic helping relationship, and working through problematic internal and interpersonal emotional patterns left from past hurt.
I guide clients to health and corrective experiences, and I don't give up hope that relationships and our emotional lives can be more satisfying and stable. If you want to connect, please reach out with any questions you might have. I would be honored to support your healing and growth.

I work first to help my clients settle in, manage any anxiety that comes up, and invite them to help me understand their goals and background. From there, we work together through their emotions to corrective experiences. As any barriers emerge, we identify any problematic patterns, emotions and intentions underlying those behaviors, and help make sense of and resolve those barriers to change.
