Hey there! I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or the weight of life's many responsibilities. You do not have to navigate those struggles alone.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and a wide range of needs. My professional background includes three years in a public health setting, with a special interest in maternal mental health. These experiences shaped my belief that healing is not one-size-fits-all and that every person deserves care that is unique.

Trained in EMDR and other trauma-focused approaches, I specialize in supporting survivors of sexual trauma, domestic violence, painful childhoods, veterans and military families, and neurodivergent individuals.
It's easy to feel disconnected from ourselves and our loved ones, leading to stress, anxiety, depression, and strained relationships. You might feel exhausted, trapped by the past or caught up in worries about the future. You're tired of questioning yourself and where you're headed. You're ready to feel at ease and confident in yourself. You want to break free from the past and THRIVE rather than just survive.

Here on the Outer Banks of NC, some of us comb the beach looking for bits of glass, that have been softened by time spent in tumultuous waters. Sea glass started out intact and then by some misfortune or someone's carelessness, ended up adrift and eventually broken at the bottom of the sea. Like sea glass, you, too, are a treasure, waiting to be found. Rather than feeling invisible, unimportant, or damaged, I can assist you in discovering who you really are-your inherent value, beauty and resilience. I have extensive training in the area of trauma treatment.

It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge that you are wanting or needing help and then acting on that decision. It's a decision people usually make when they feel like they are in crisis or stuck in a relationship, job, or some other situation. Making this decision is a step towards change, because you are acknowledging that you want or need something in your life to go in a different direction. I provide individual and couple therapy with a focus on building healthy connections with ourselves and others. I also emphasize healthy relationships between our mind, body and spirit to develop and strengthen our authentic selves.

I utilize a blend of evidence based practices, weaving together Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
At the end of the day, relationships matter & I believe they are at the core of our success. How we interact with one another in every setting & how we treat ourselves is crucial to navigating through life. When we love ourselves, we are able to think positively, create & reach goals, take responsibility, understand things we can & cannot control, treat ourselves with compassion & have confidence. When one of these relationships if lacking or does not exist, we are suseptible to a plethora of mental health & life struggles.
