I work with adults and teens who need help with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma & PTSD, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. Often when people come to see me, they’ve been struggling for a long time on their own and have been through really painful and difficult experiences in their lives. Many times there is a lot of shame and guilt involved in their situations. People feel stuck or that they’re unable to move forward in life. They are looking for an objective, caring person who can help them understand the underlying causes of their symptoms & give them the tools they need to heal and move forward.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS (Couples, Families and Children) Everyone struggles at some point in time in their lives. Acknowledging this to another person can be incredibly difficult yet, freeing. True strength is in recognizing our faults (because we all have them.....yes we do) and working to change them. That is why we say the healthiest people are sitting in our office. The healthiest people are those who can acknowledge that they can't do it alone. Sometimes we need to trust in other people to guide us and give us perspective. It can be a challenge to open up to friends and loved ones for fear of judgement or rejection.

My ideal client is one who is willing to put in the work; a client who is willing to take a chance on becoming the best version of themselves. I believe in collaboration and using a strengths-based approach to assist and support others in writing their own story. I believe that we are the true expert in our own life and sometimes we need a little guidance to assist us along the way. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship should be one of authenticity and one that feels safe and supportive. My focus is on a person’s strength and resilience while striving to help find tools to cope with life’s stressors.

Life has a way of molding us into the person we had to be instead of the person we actually are. If you grew up with emotionally immature parents, you likely learned to shrink yourself or become the “reasonable one” while the adults acted like toddlers. Now, you're stuck in old patterns—choosing relationships that feel eerily familiar, doubting your needs, saddling yourself with responsibility for everyone else's joy while feeling chronically inadequate. It’s frustrating as hell, especially when you know what’s happening but can’t seem to shift it. Therapy with me is about dismantling the old M.O. and consciously choosing YOU.

I help Ladies connect the link between relationships and life situations to set the tone for their overall well-being. If you are at a point in your life that you feel stuck or disconnected it is time to consider connecting with an unbiased professional for emotional support and guidance. As women, life challenges can cause us to feel vulnerable, empty and overwhelmed. Are your ready to gain a better understanding of who you are and how to take control? We feel a sense of control when we can build and maintain healthy relationships, improve situational stress or conflict, gain a sense of direction and improve mental wellness.

Are you in tune with your true self and living your best life? If you feel like your inner purpose or clarity is lacking then let me reassure you: you're not alone! There are patterns of dissonance in everyone, it's part of the human condition. These patterns are passed down through generations and affect each of us in our experience of wellness. It’s the childhood programming or traumas and painful experiences that create wounds carried throughout a lifetime. Being confused about your true nature or downright believing the lies you tell yourself can feel like a prison of your own making.

Everyone needs help sometimes. The folks who are most likely to get that help in sessions with me are healing from any number of things- eating disorders, diet culture, trauma, or just the act of living through some truly unprecedented times and experiences. Clients always benefit the most from therapy when they are motivated to work on things important to them rather than something someone else has identified as a "problem," and working with me you'll find someone who will honor that. I have recently joined NC Therapy Professionals, a group that shares my values!

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here! I love helping other humans navigate the common struggles that come with just living life. I started out as a child therapist and often work with children and adolescents to manage anxiety and depression, help with ADHD symptoms and other forms of neuro-divergence, and work through and process traumatic events. Over the years I have extended my practice to include working directly with parents and young adults on similar issues.

Phew! There's a lot of profiles here all saying the same thing. The bottom line is: you need help with something. Life just isn't life-ing for you or your loved one right now. There's a lot going on right now and everyday worries are no exception. Everyone needs a little support in figuring out ways to manage feelings of anxiety, where the motivation went, and ways to help you feel validated. Take charge of your own life by finding creative, artistic, and new ways to look at everyday life. I like to help my clients find realistic and useful ways to navigate their problems, while keeping you the main character of your own game.

Hello! I’ve worked as a licensed counselor since 2017, with previous experience as a social worker. My focus is working with adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depressive symptoms, relational difficulties, family issues, substance use, and severe mental illnesses. My theoretical orientation is an integration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Behavioral Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness. I have learned that no two people are the same and that everyone must be treated individually and holistically.
