You may be navigating the emotional weight of trauma, chronic illness, or a major life transition. Perhaps you’re living with a progressive condition such as ALS or another chronic illness that’s changed how you see yourself & the world. Maybe you’re a spouse, family member, or caregiver-someone deeply affected by the diagnosis of a loved one. You might be facing anticipatory grief as you prepare for an uncertain future, feeling unimaginable grief after a recent loss, or struggling with unresolved trauma- all while trying to rediscover meaning, identity, & purpose. You don't have to do this alone. I am licensed in both NC and VA.
Together, we will assess your needs and goals and develop ways for you to meet those. • To feel heard and validated, especially in circumstances that can make you feel isolated or misunderstood • To develop coping strategies that reduce distress, anxiety, and burnout • To strengthen communication and relationships • To process grief in all its stages
Your story matters. Your needs matter. And you do not have to navigate this by yourself. My approach is compassionate and holistic — honoring your emotional, physical, and relational experiences, while supporting you at a pace that feels safe. Together, we can explore what healing looks like for you, even if life has changed in ways you never asked for.

13 years of working for an ALS nonprofit has given me understanding of the unique situations faced with chronic illness- treatment decisions, hospice, anticipatory grief, guilt, and survivors guilt. I have 15 years of Trauma experience, including Combat Trauma (Vietnam, Gulf War, & OIF/OEF), TBI, and MST. Author of: Finding Peace with PTSD. I offer several therapist-led support groups as well.
