As a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 10 years of experience, I would be honored to join you, and walk along side you as you lean into exploration and restoration.

I am a psychotherapist with many years on mental health experience. My clientele is adults, 16 and up. Areas of practice focus are anxiety and depression, chronic pain, grief , traumatic loss , and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and adult ADHD. I'm trained in the therapy modalities of hypnotherapy, EMDR Exposure (CBT), and Emotional Freedom Technique - an energy psychology method. In helping clients break old habits, I'm a licensed provider of Trim Life, a weight loss program using hypnosis. Another program is Clean Break for smoking cessation.

As a therapist, I believe people have deep-rooted aspirations for well-being in many areas of their lives, including emotional, physical, social, and spiritual wellness. I strive to make a safe and trusting relationship with clients so that they can improve in each of these areas and feel more balanced and fulfilled. I collaboratively work with clients, valuing their unique strengths, interests, and aspirations. I enjoy working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief , life transitions, career/vocational concerns, spirituality, weight management and body image concerns, and relationship issues.

At this time, I am providing both Telehealth and in person services, however new client referrals are very limited. I am Certified in Clinical Hypnosis to facilitate healing, and am offering Clinical hypnosis sessions to specifically treat IBS using the North Carolina Protocol developed at UNC, Chapel Hill. I am also certified in EMDR. As a psychotherapist with over 40 years of experience, I work with individuals who have chronic and life-limiting illness, chronic pain, grief / loss , traumatic loss , PTSD, complex psychological trauma, dissociative disorders and DID.

First, congratulations on taking the first step toward healing. Recognizing a problem is the first step toward finding solutions. Depression, anxiety, insecurity, fear, doubt and other feelings can weigh you down. These feelings can stem from trauma such as any form of abuse, neglect, domestic violence, infertility, divorce, loss of loved ones, medical problems, and other forms of trauma. You want change and need someone to help. You need a partner that understands and will walk with you on the journey of growth and healing. You have made the first step and you are ready to take the next. How do you get your life back?

Everyone's story is unique and every person deserves an individualized approach to their problems. Initially we will complete an assessment. Then we become partners in your therapeutic journey. If you have been suffering alone or found past attempts unsatisfactory, please contact me. The therapeutic relationship we develop will be the cornerstone of your wellness journey. I will do everything I can to support you in feeling safe and respected to share. I strive to provide a setting that will allows you to do this. I am open to your input and welcome your feedback as we progress on the path of your renewed happiness.

My desire is to bring a holistic approach to mental/behavioral health as a clinician. I have a genuine desire, to share the evidence based tools and techniques, required for one to be successful in the process of healing. Our sessions can include sitting on the floor with many pillows, while meditating or talk therapy. Or sitting in a comfortable chair, while practicing EMDR or relaxation while in session. Rapport and comfort are extremely important. In order for therapist and client to work together as a successful team. The end goal is to feel better when you leave than you arrived. With tools you can use in your every day life.

You’re exhausted from trying desperately to balance your needs with the demands of kids, school, or work. As a parent you’re struggling to understand where your child is coming from. Does the “parent guilt” creep in while you’re trying to keep all the plates spinning? Maybe you have a child who is anxious, worried, has difficulty sleeping or going to school, or expects perfection. Learning how to manage your own needs and care for yourself, while you balance them with the demands of life is hard at any age. This can lead to anxiety, self-doubt, concern that one isn’t good enough, and become a negative self-talk loop in your head.

Perhaps you are wondering if counseling is right for you? If you are open to discovering the best possible version of yourself, then the answer is "Yes." Life is hard, and sometimes we need someone else in the boat to help, guide, and support us through the difficult times. I believe that you have all of the tools within you to heal yourself - it is simply my job to help you realize them. Many of the challenges we face can be linked to beliefs and patterns of behavior learned during our early years. Some patterns were required within our family systems, but no longer serve us in our present circumstances.

I am a compassionate therapist concerned with empowering you to embrace your strengths and manage your woundedness. Personal growth and developing authenticity, whether personally or in relationship, are ways I help you to become the best "you" you can be. I use an eclectic diversity of counseling theories, tailoring to your needs and strengths. Life is a heroic journey. You are the hero of your story. I can help you begin to heal the woundedness of your past and embrace the adventures in your future.

I see you. I get it. There is a point in life when we get tired of not thriving. Trauma. Overwhelming anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem are robbing you of the life that you see. You can see a better life for you in the distance but you have no idea how to get there. Striving for perfectionism, people pleasing, feeling like you are always the problem, that you are not enough. I was an educator for almost 20 years so I know the stressors that teachers experience. I have a special place in my heart for you. No one knows what teachers go through better than a teacher. (ps: I WILL respond to your call or email!)

My goal will always be to assist in finding the path that works best for you. Together we can collaborate to form solutions that will help lead to your success and happiness.
