You're feeling overwhelmed and that you've tried everything to find happiness in your life again. You are unhappy, anxious, exhausted, sad and unsure what to do next. You no longer feel like yourself and you're having issues in relationships. I understand and want to help you find peace and identify the issues that have caused this. I offer a warm and supportive environment that promotes healing. I understand that the people in our lives can cause us pain and hurt. I invite you to begin the journey of growth and healing with me.

If you are looking to improve relationships with yourself and others, regulate emotions, manage stress, work towards resolving conflict, or find healthier ways of thinking, behaving, and experiencing, then I am here to help you recognize that you have the inner resources to do so. I believe that change begins through awareness of self, personal values, and true aspirations. With that awareness, we can then begin the practice of reframing negative core beliefs and automatic assumptions that govern patterns of thought, feeling, and behaving. This gained insight can give you the power to choose how to best move forward.

Over the past decade, the importance of mental health has been brought to the forefront of the conversation. My goal is to normalize and de-stigmatize the utilization of therapeutic interventions. I recognize the courage that it takes to ask for professional support and I am strongly committed to helping you navigate some of life’s most difficult challenges. I have been working in the mental health field for over 8 years; within this time I gained experience working with children ages 5 and up, adolescents/teens, adults, couples, and families.

I am honored to be able to provide therapy for individuals and couples throughout North Carolina. With over 12 years of experience, I am dedicated to practicing with the utmost integrity in order to create a safe, collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship. I work from a strength-based and client-centered stance that focuses on helping my clients create healthy and holistic relationships with themselves and others. To quote Brene Brown, I believe that "owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do” and my job is to walk with you and guide you through that process.

Do you need help with issues related to depression, anxiety or substance use? Are you a teenager struggling with gender identity issues, bullying or uncontrollable anger? If you identify with any of these things then maybe counseling could be beneficial to your mental stability and overall health.

Life stories are all unique and creative. These stories are a chapter (individuals) of a book (family) so I work with kids and adults. Each reflects why our role here is so important but with this story comes challenges which create emotions; emotions that can hurt yet make us feel alive. My hope is travel back through your story whether young or older with you. My playroom is a place where a child 3+ can use play to work through everything from daily living to focus/attention issues to traumas. Depending on the age of the child or adult it can impact how we journey through their story and what modality it needs to express itself.

Life can be difficult, but people are resilient. My counseling approach towards each individual is strength-based. I believe that everyone has positive qualities and strengths. Sometimes, it just may be hard for someone to recognize when they are going through a hard time. My job is to come alongside my clients in a safe environment where my clients can share their feelings without being judged. I will help to point out any faulty thinking or behavioral patterns that may be causing difficulties in life. I mainly work with women struggling with depression, anxiety and trauma histories.

Life is full of twists and turns, often unexpected and challenging to even the most seasoned navigator. Individual, couple, and family therapy can provide relief to those seeking support by regrouping, learning coping skills and gaining helpful insight to promote empowered change.

Are the communication and connection in your marriage or relationship less than ideal or missing altogether? Or maybe you have more conflict than friendship and you're just feeling stuck.

I offer a free consultation to new clients to discuss how I can help you achieve your goals, even if you don't know exactly what those goals are yet. In addition to traditional sessions, I now offer intensives for couples looking to jump-start their healing. For premarital counseling, this is a fun, productive way to start your journey with a strong foundation.

Grief and struggle are unavoidable parts of being human, but no one should ever have to bear those burdens alone.

I consider it a great privilege to hold your story with tenderness, safety, and grace as you hold the tension between compassion and truth. You are so much more resilient than you know!

I work with individuals ages 10 and up, Families, Mood Disorders, Behavior Disorders, Life Transitions, Trauma, and Grief.
