Mocksville, NC 27028
I am also trained in Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy, Cognitive Processing, Exposure Response Prevention, and DBT.
My approach as a therapist is direct and deeply inquisitive. I ask a lot of
questions because I am genuinely invested in making sense of your story,
helping you identify patterns, and maybe helping you think about things in
a way that you haven’t considered before. I’m going to be real with you in
the most authentically loving way, because I’m on your team and want
nothing but the best for you.
My favorite population to work with is teenagers. As a mom to three teenagers, I've learned to speak the language. I also love working with adults with ADHD, OCD/specific phobias, or in need of processing trauma.

My ideal client is an individual navigating the profound, and often overwhelming, transitions of the perinatal period—including pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss, or the complex journey of trying to conceive. You might find yourself struggling with severe anxiety, intrusive worries, or a deep sadness that leaves you feeling isolated, guilty, or disconnected from yourself and those you love.

You've been carrying more than most people will ever see. Maybe you've worked hard to create a meaningful life, but still feel emotionally disconnected or spiritually dry. You hold yourself to high standards and rarely ask for help, leading to a quiet kind of burnout. You keep pushing, trying harder, telling yourself to be grateful, but it's exhausting. And no achievement seems to produce the self-worth you've been chasing. Lately, you may be wondering, does it have to be this way?

My primary modality is EMDR, integrated with attachment-focused therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, ACT, DBT skills, and relational work.
My jam is working with people who, because of complex trauma and emotional wounds, don't feel real or complete all the time. They're trying their best but can't seem to figure things out. Or, they check all the boxes, work harder than everyone around them, and still feel hollow.
I work with those who feel chronic emptiness, disconnect from others and self, incomplete in their identity, and burned out from extended overfunctioning. I use a combination of neurobiological engineering and sorcery (just kidding on the sorcery bit). If you need that, my contact information is available.

You lived in a narcissistic relationship for far too long. You’re doing your best not to fixate on all that you were told you did wrong – all the times you were berated, laughed at, and put down in front of friends and family. Your phone sits face-down. Picking it up means another argument to no where. Putting it down means another hour of questioning if you were the problem all along. You swing from defiant independence to insecure co-dependence. You used to know what you liked. Now you can't remember if you actually liked any of it, or just learned to. Facing an uncertain future is terrifying and paralyzing.

"Many of my clients first come to therapy looking for a way to get back to something that feels normal. We all wrestle to find balance and restoration after a loss or a major life change, and can often feel lost and confused about where to start. After a while, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, and outright overwhelm can weigh us down in mind, body, and spirit. It can sometimes be hard to see a path forward out of trauma, transition, or grief. I believe that each of us deserves to be supported in finding a way through our pain into a new place of growth, healing, and hope."

In your couple relationship, you want to feel heard and understood. You long for the loving connection that feels like a safe home-like you can be your full self, tell your full story, and your partner just gets you. Sometimes, though, it seems as if you can't connect anymore. Maybe there's been a crisis, like an affair; or a long-running disagreement that never seems to get solved, but recycles the same feelings of anger, confusion, and disconnection. You both resolve to "do better" next time, but somehow, you find yourselves back in the same old hurtful place, repeating the same painful cycle, wondering if things can get better.

Kernersville, NC 27284
I like to base my interactions with clients from a Person-Centered perspective, whilst implementing a CBT and DBT foundation.
Have you ever heard anyone say that therapy is 'magical' and that it 'fixes everything'? I'm going to be real with you. It's not that simple. It is definitely a place where you can understand yourself more and get to know the real you (and be okay with it). Regardless of what is going on in life or how chaotic or 'crazy' it gets, therapy can be a pit stop to examine what is going on in your world and your mind. The work is beneficial in bettering yourself and equipping you with tools to get back out there.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
