I feel isolated and alone in this relationship. We're having trouble connecting. All we do is argue over every little thing. These are just a few of the reasons couples reach out to me for help. Are you committed to your relationship yet feel emotionally or physically disconnected from your partner? Having the same argument repeatedly and feel misunderstood? Have you found yourself thinking that you and your spouse seem more like roommates than lovers? Couples therapy can help you prioritize your relationship, learn how to talk to each other in a way that is free of criticism and defensiveness and rebuild that important bond.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, a loss of self-worth, or a loss of hope, I can help. If you are tired of being plagued by uncontrollable addictive behaviors, betrayal trauma, triggers, negative thoughts, an inability to turn off your brain, or low self-esteem, I can help. Identifying the source and reprocessing memories helps eliminate the pain. I use EMDR to resolve past trauma and present difficulties. EMDR often helps get to the source of your trauma and distress. I offer EMDR for NC residents in the office and online.

I believe how we treat our bodies affects our thoughts and how we think affects our bodies. Therefore, I integrate a holistic approach into the therapeutic process. I work with clients to address the root cause(s) of symptoms and to promote healing through the use of various techniques tailored to each individual’s needs. I use yoga, meditation, and mindfulness in conjunction with traditional talk therapies to recenter and rebalance the mind-body connection, to improve inter- and intra-personal relationships, and to create physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

I offer counseling that allows the client to choose their path to more effective living by their own definition. If they haven't determined that definition, my role is to provide the opportunity to explore their options and guide experiences to facilitate reflection and action. I work very well with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and related disorders. I also enjoy exploring the mind-body connection with clients experiencing eating disorders and other related concerns. As a veteran, one of my motivations to begin counseling was to support active service members, Veterans, and their families.

It has been my privilege to work with a very diverse group of clients of varying races, ethnicities, nationalities, genders and gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, disabilities, etc. I have also worked with clients of all ages, but most of my work has been with those age 13 and older. I draw mainly from the evidence-based treatments of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and dialectical behavioral-informed therapeutic interventions.
