I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) providing telemental health therapy services in North Carolina.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, working at Anchor Psychological in Hampstead , N.C. I see adults, children, couples and families. I also work with Autism Spectrum adults and children. I am credentialed with most insurance companies which our office staff can help you with when you call to make an appointment.

I believe the therapeutic process is based on a collaborative relationship between the therapist and client. While the client oversees setting goals, I feel privileged to assist with, and throughout, that process. I work to create a safe and compassionate environment where you can navigate your thoughts, emotions, and experiences necessary to promote a successful journey. My approach to therapy is a holistic one that includes discussing your goals from many perspectives and examining the effects on your mind, body, spirit, relationships, career, and other areas of importance.

Putting your mental health as a priority can be a challenge. We all have many responsibilities that take up our time and attention. Maybe you’re a parent dealing with the daily tasks and grind of your family. Or perhaps you’re someone who has been feeling anxious and triggered by your partner because of the stressors of your job. If you have ever felt like life is a slippery slope and you’re losing your grip, you are not alone! I specialize in relationships. It can be the relationship you have with your family, or the one you have with yourself. Maybe it’s even the relationship you have with work.

I work with all kinds of clients and I like to make sure that I am a good fit for each of them. I work hard to make the therapeutic process as comfortable as possible by using multiple modalities to personalize the best approach for each individual.

Are you having difficulty with your relationships? When you understand how important you are and how valuable your life is, I believe you will make better choices when it comes to the people you allow into your life. My hope is that you recognize the unique things you offer the world and be vulnerable enough to share them. Connection to people is something we all need and it is often determined through the love we hold for ourselves.

There are times throughout life when we all need some extra support or guidance. Maybe you’re going through a season of change and could benefit from a helping hand through this transition, or maybe you feel ready to work through recent or past trauma. Perhaps you need help working through the anxiety and stress that comes with everyday modern life. Whatever your reason for reaching out may be, I enjoy helping people regain control in life, find inner peace, and emerge stronger and better equipped to face all of life’s challenges.

Do you ever feel like you are putting on a happy face to get through the day, only to come home, emotionally drained, and just tired of faking it? Are you ready to take the next step but have spent so long feeling like a burden that speaking about your problems seems almost impossible? Starting therapy can be frightening and, for a lot of us, talking about our feelings doesn’t come easy. That's ok. (Seriously!) I want you to know that it's normal to feel nervous at first and that it is worth it to get your life back. Together, we will work towards helping you live a better life - however that may be defined for you.

Hi! I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management for children, teens, and adults. I like to utilize a creative approach to therapy to help tailor to you as an individual. I view myself as an eclectic counselor as I like to pull from various theories to best fit your needs. I mostly tend to utilize cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, expressive art therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I chose to become a counselor because I love to witness the growth that others achieve. I have a passion for healing and counseling allows me to be a part of others’ healing journeys almost every day.
