Winston Salem, NC 27103
I use CBT to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts, ACT to build acceptance and align with values, Brainspotting to process deeper emotional experiences, and mindfulness to support grounding and nervous system regulation—helping pregnant and postpartum clients feel more balanced, resilient, and connected to themselves.
Pregnancy and early motherhood can be some of the most transformative — and overwhelming — seasons of life. You may love your baby deeply and still feel anxious, irritable, disconnected, or unlike yourself. Your thoughts might race at night, you may question every decision, or feel guilt for not “enjoying this stage” the way you expected. The transition into motherhood can quietly shake your sense of identity. Your body has changed. Relationships may feel different. You might wonder, Who am I now?

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained, even if things look “fine” on the outside. You might struggle with overthinking, low mood, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You want relief, clarity, and a better understanding of your emotions so you can feel more grounded, confident, and at peace in daily life.

Hi, I'm Morgan a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS). I work with teens and adults who feel stuck in patterns they can't seem to break. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, people pleasing, relationship challenges, substance use, or feeling like they're never quite "enough." They often know what they should do, but find themselves repeating the same behaviors, overwhelmed by their emotions, or disconnected from the person they want to be. Therapy can help you better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
