Welcome to my page. Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship struggles? You don't have to face these challenges alone. I specialize in helping individuals overcome these mental health concerns, as well as substance use, unhealthy coping, chronic illness, and overthinking. I understand that seeking help can feel daunting. Many of us have been conditioned to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps," but this approach rarely addresses the root of our struggles. Together, we can explore healthier coping strategies & develop the tools you need to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and resilience.
The good news...your mind and body are designed to be in harmony. In my practice, I empower clients to realize their full potential by developing the skills and tools needed to navigate life's challenges. Clients gain greater control over their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, often experiencing a sense of freedom they may not have known was possible.
For over 20 years, I’ve supported clients in strengthening their well‑being and developing healthier ways of thinking and living using an integrative approach of CBT, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness interventions. I work with clients in NC, SC, FL, and VT. Reach out for a free consultation—I’d love to connect and explore how we can work together.
