​I've always wanted to incorporate animals into therapeutic activities. My family has all rescues and I’ve volunteered with APS of Durham for over 10 years. Animal assisted therapy is generally done with the therapist's personal animal. My pre-Covid sessions were typically in home with you and your pet, developing more connection and emotional support. I moved my small practice to primarily tele-health but try to be available and flexible to meet when you need. It’s also important that the therapy is a fit for what you need and you can be yourself. I’m building a therapy space in Hendersonville Fall 2024 onsite sessions..

My treatment style incorporates both client-centered and empirically-validated approaches in order to best serve each client's unique needs. I collaborate with clients to develop solution-focused goals that strengthen their interpersonal, behavioral, and emotional functioning.

I am an In-Home Mental Health Therapist who has 20 years of experience in working with children, adolescents and adults within their homes. I travel to client's homes all over Durham County to work with their mental health needs. Therapies include individual and family. I truly attempt to meet my clients where they are. What my clients experience is significant and needs to be heard for growth and change to occur. In this way, clients are able to find greater trust and strength in their self-awareness and personal development.

Life can be challenging, overwhelming, and stressful at times. You may feel in a rut or even stuck, and it may feel impossible to work through. You may feel that your stressors are not only impacting you, but also your social life, family, or work. Together, we can develop a collaborative plan to help you achieve your personal goals and reengage in your own life. From learning coping skills to processing complex trauma, I am committed to providing you a safe and nonjudgmental environment to find your best path to reach your goals.

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it" --Ferris Bueller. If you are looking for strategies to both slow down and move forward, you will find benefit in our sessions. I am a former software programmer and have helped many from the tech industry navigate mental health issues related to their work. Many of the people I work with are seeking relief from social anxiety, management of depressive symptoms and a better work/life balance. Each phase of life presents heightened developmental tasks, need sensitivities, crises, and opportunities for new learning. The Path Begins Here.

I have over 20 years of experience working with clients of all ages. My treatment approach combines empirically-based interventions with each individual’s unique set of strengths and areas for growth. I collaborate with clients to identify specific treatment goals with the aim to reduce distress by addressing challenges in emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal functioning. Therapy sessions are structured to help each client develop a deeper understanding of their struggles, think creatively to adapt their strengths, and develop new skills to better manage life’s obstacles.

The clinicians at Essential are committed to helping people overcome obstacles and move forward with their lives with clarity, vision and confidence. Because we recognize that traditional talk therapy is not for everyone, we offer a wide array of groups and therapies to increase practical therapeutic skill building and techniques learned in 1:1 sessions.

I believe that the cornerstone of effective counseling is a safe, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I view each client as a unique person with their own story, strengths, and challenges. As a therapist, I greatly value the client as an individual and view counseling as a means of helping you achieve your personal goals for growth. I believe in treating the client as a whole: by considering the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual components to problems and growth in order to achieve lasting change. I am able to integrate faith into the counseling process at the request of the client.

Some people experience more trauma than others. Success in therapy is feeling comfortable telling me what’s working for you—but also what isn’t working. It’s about what we can accomplish together to help you face hardship and emerge stronger and with greater purpose. That doesn’t mean your worst day is behind you. But I would like the opportunity to help you see the path that makes sense to you, and to provide you with tools that will help you daily. There is no handbook to make things easier, but there is a cooperation between us that forges strength out of your individuality and empowers you to see through the chaos into the calm.

The counseling process is a partnership. I believe some of life's most difficult moments can be processed and healed through the therapeutic relationship. Whether you are in a hard life transition, dealing with chronic anxiety, or working on a challenging relationship, counseling can be the vehicle to help get you to the other side. I seek to build a compassionate, safe relationship with you so that we can work together to explore what’s happening in your life. Our team strives to support you in the way that you need, while providing comprehensive services based on evidence based modalities.

We all have times we need to talk about ourselves, relationships, or situation to best figure things out. I provide a safe and active environment where you can focus completely on yourself without fear of judgment, and we work together to find ways to improve things. I help people solve a variety of life issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, family issues, and general life stress, to name a few.
