She recognizes some people experience more trauma than others, and we do not choose how that trauma initially affects us. She is planning for Level III training in NARM, a somatic-based therapy that heals core negative emotions stemming from traumatic experiences. She also practices Impact Therapy, which provides individuals with immediate feedback using metaphor and time-tested techniques. Audra meets you where you are on your healing journey. Common backgrounds are beneficial, but two very different people can build strong bonds just by leaning into the process.

I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anything from anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and addictions to stress management, relationships, boundary setting, difficult life events, and finding identity. I also work with people with co-occurring I/DD. Learning skillful ways to listen to, and cope with, emotions and the life events eliciting them is the first step toward healing and finding balance in life. Often that includes unlearning maladaptive coping skills, like alcohol and drug use, avoidance, or self harm. In therapy, my goal is to help develop coping skills, build confidence, and find balance.

My group takes BCBS (Advantage, Care, Classic, Home - UNC, Options, HPN), Cigna, Aetna, and MedCost.
Limited virtual available! There's no need to carry the weight of trauma, isolation, or chronic illness alone. You might be exhausted by looking for support, unsure of where to start, or wondering if therapy will even help. Maybe you've had to explain your pronouns, gender, sexuality, or cultural background over and over when you just want therapy. I know how painful that is. I want you to know that you're not alone.
You deserve a space where you feel safe, valued, and empowered. If you’re stuck in survival mode, disconnected from life, I want to help you find your strength, confidence, and purpose.
