I'm passionate about working with teens, young adults, adults and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, gender and sexuality concerns, interpersonal conflict, trauma, addiction, self esteem and eating disorders. I am especially committed to working with teens and adults who identify as LGBTQIA+. If you are looking to be more of an active participant in your life, gain insight and work toward a greater sense of self, I would love to meet you. I believe deeply in your innate ability and inner resources as the source material for our work together.

I love to help clients identify and break harmful patterns of behavior and work towards a healthier, more sustainable, balance that improves their lives. My style is compassionate, yet direct and transparent. I see problematic behaviors as coping mechanisms for underlying stressors/emotional experiences that need processing. I have extensive experience working with clients with eating disorders and addictions. As a former HS teacher, I enjoy working with young adults. I believe that relationships heal. In every case, I consider clients' contexts, which have great impact on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Mindfulness practice is built-in to my approach.

I moved to North Carolina from the Northwest in 2018 and am considered a true generalist. This means I have over 10,000 hours of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults with the myriad concerns that bring them to therapy (see the specialty list below): however, my areas of expertise are in trauma, anxiety, improving interpersonal relationship dynamics, and performance improvement. I enjoy working with health care professionals, first responders, athletes, teachers, and university professionals and students. I have an opening for an Aetna insured patient beginning in April.

Are you ready to make a change in your life, but feel pulled back into the same dysfunctional cycles every time? I support individuals who want to break free from unhealthy habits and relationships and live a confident, self-directed, and value-aligned life. I work specifically with PTSD, anxiety, attachment issues, and adults with ADHD. I provide support that allows you to build your awareness and practice concrete coping skills in order to gain resilience, confidence and power that extends your healing past the counseling session.

What is it that brings you vitality? What gets you stuck? The key to well being is our relationship with self, and with what is actually happening, not what we think should happen. As we learn to mindfully attune to ourselves and trust what is arising, and we learn to value and process emotions and experiences - whatever they are - we start to relate to our self and to life differently. Setting limits, making bold choices, experiencing passion and clarity become possible and natural. And so we find: our suffering, our symptoms turn out not to be a problem to be fixed, but a gateway to our freedom.

There is a myriad of ways we humans suffer - anxiety, depression, loss and grief, hurtful relationships, trauma and its aftermath, intolerable feelings of shame, guilt, loneliness and sadness, parental challenges, addictions, panic attacks, confusion, disappointments, and on and on. And..., it takes courage to seek help. It would be my privilege to offer you a warm and safe space to freely speak and to be.

Sometimes life feels harder than it should. You may be doing your best, yet still feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. I work with individuals and couples, including those preparing for marriage, to slow down, listen to what your body and emotions are saying, and rediscover balance, connection and self-trust.

Something crazy or intense happened. Maybe you know what it was or maybe you don't. Maybe it's still happening. Or maybe something has always felt a bit off or harder than seems necessary. Or maybe you just feel stuck. I would be happy to walk the path with you of finding ways to resolve, rebuild, and renegotiate how you respond to situations, people, and yourself. I am trained in many body- and nervous system-based modalities, such as Somatic Experiencing, NARM, BASE, co-regulating touch, Brainspotting, NLP, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), & EMDR. I also work with couples learning how to communicate better.

You may be a young adult or adult feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, or relationship stress—or part of a couple struggling with communication, emotional distance, or recurring conflict. You want therapy that goes beyond surface solutions and helps you better understand yourself and your relationships. I work with individuals and couples using interpersonal approaches and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My background includes extensive work with children and families, including conduct disorder and ODD, which informs a strong understanding of attachment and family dynamics.

Hi Thanks for taking a look at my profile- Reach out if it seems we might be able to work together in a way that would be helpful to you...I'm working only via telehealth which reduces your commute time. My clients tend to be working on being awake and aware of and attuned to and stressed by the complexity of our culture today. I work with issues of alternative sexuality, gender dysphoria, relationships in all forms including relationships that are kink friendly and/or poly. I come from an eclectic training background but use RLT and IFS more often than other modalities.

I provide therapy for individuals and couples who are looking for change through a warm, engaged, and challenging process. You are the best expert about your life and your experiences; sometimes you just need external perspective to help you truly know what you know and figure out what you want to do with that knowledge. Financial issues, grief, loss, transitions, and relationships - these are the issues people bring to therapy. I work with the information that you bring into the room to help co-create solutions that truly work for you.
