Play Therapy in Greensboro, NC

Hello! I am a counselor licensed in North and South Carolina with over 22 years of experience. I’ve worked with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, family and parenting issues, ADHD, behavioral issues, and more. I determine effective therapy strategies for each unique client, and employ a combination of Cognitive Behavioral, Schema Focused, Narrative, and Brief Solution Focused techniques. My clients tell me they appreciate that I am direct, honest, and hold them accountable, while also being compassionate. I am very practical and teach techniques that can be applied to most all situations in life.

You've probably stumbled across my page because you have been through a situation or season where growth seems more difficult or even impossible. Together, we can work through this season and bring out your most beautiful inner self. I can support you to achieve your highest goals with more ease as well as give you the right skills you need to succeed. I offer holistic approaches in a low-key environment to help you bloom wherever you are planted.

Today is your day to make the decision to be a better you! Are you just existing and not living? Do you feel like something is missing? Do you feel like you are free falling? Is there an elephant in the room that you have not addressed? Are you losing a battle with your mind everyday? Do you feel stuck? Allow me to help guide you through these things. Just know that you are not alone and even the toughest warriors need strategy to fight through the war. Together, we can face these battles and find victory in blooming into the person you are meant to be.

Are you ready to work through a traumatic event or looking to try EMDR? Perhaps you need to process through a loss or a new life transition? There are so many reasons people seek out therapy. Please do not hesitate to reach out and ask any questions you may have. My approach to therapy is to create a space where you feel free from judgment and can work alongside your therapist to reach the goals you set. My therapy approach is direct yet compassionate. As a clinician who provides telehealth, I have the privilege of seeing clients who live across the entirety of North Carolina.

There's a quote by Dr. Russell Barkley that says, "The kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways." Because I'm a mother of 5 that has 11 years of experience with adoption issues, I know this to be true. Developmental trauma has a huge impact on children, whether it is a result of inconsistent early caregiving (adoption/foster/difficult home life), a difficult pregnancy or delivery, early hospitalization, abuse, or neglect. These are the kids that desperately need to feel loved and secure, but will act out in many ways to test their caregivers' resolve.

We may be the North Carolina’s top ABA agency, but for us, it’s always been about the people, not the numbers. We value every child for who they are. We meet every family where they are. We’re proud to be an advocate for thousands of kids on the autism spectrum. When they feel isolated or misunderstood, we ’re here to make connections and make their voices heard. We know how tough it can be when your child isn ’t communicating, learning, or developing the way you always thought they would. At North Carolina Behavior, we ’re here for you. We ’ll nurture their rich inner world and help them enjoy and participate in the world around.

We can all benefit from gaining insights, learning skills, and having “tune-ups” along the way. If you’re feeling stuck, struggling with how you feel about yourself or in relationship with someone, experiencing unwanted or intrusive thoughts or memories from a past experience, ruminating on negative thoughts or beliefs, feeling anxious or depressive symptoms, or struggling in your relationship with food or your body, you don’t have to walk through it alone! We have two locations and a consortium of providers who can help. We see all ages and have mental health therapy, nutrition services, and integrative wellness offerings.

Now Accepting New Clients. Life is a journey with no shortage of challenges. We encounter these as we navigate parenthood or face many types of grief and loss. At times things become overwhelming and we need someone to journey with and guide us through managing stress and anxiety in order to cope and regain a sense of control. We all need a safe place to explore our thoughts and feelings to help us make sense of our world.

Have you or your child been feeling stuck? Have you started to question who you are and what it will take for your circumstances to change? Have difficult memories from the past started to creep back into your mind? Has the voice of outsiders and social media started to make you question your success? Maybe you're in the midst of a major life transition. Holding these thoughts inside while balancing daily tasks can be stressful. Being able to express yourself in a safe space can make all the difference while you begin to view yourself and your circumstances with new lenses.

If you have come across my profile, I would like to congratulate you on taking the courageous step of seeking help. If you have found yourself burnt out, emotionally dysregulated, experiencing irrational thoughts, intrusive memories, anxious, struggling to let go of the past, unable to make sound decisions and or feeling completely lost in your identity then I am here to help. Help looks different to every individual seeking it and my job is to offer services tailored to your individual needs. My goal, as your therapist, is to create a safe environment for you to explore this thing called “Life” and ALL that it brings.

My ideal client is someone who wants to improve specific areas in their life. They simply want to Get Better!

-- Note: I am not accepting new clients at this time.-- Do you feel judged, dismissed, invisible? Do you feel like you cannot share with others who you truly are, and no place feels like home? You are not alone. It is hard when you feel like you do not fit in, like you cannot be the real you, especially during those times when life's challenges become overwhelming and you need understanding, support and connection. You do not have to feel so distant from others. I want to help you learn to make meaningful connections with the important people in your life and with the world around you.

I am excited to connect with individuals who find themselves ready for a change, but perhaps unsure of how to make that happen for themselves. Working with teens, young adults, and adults, I am dedicated to come alongside you to help you reach your goals. I focus on providing a compassionate, fun, and trusting environment for each and everyone of my clients. I offer treatment for various concerns including trauma, ADHD, relational issues, life transitions, attachment issues, depression, and anxiety.
