A collaborative treatment and/or goals plan is created based on the information you provide and my assessment of your emotional, mental, physical, social, spiritual, economic, and career characteristics. I will need your continual input as we identify issues to be addressed within the counseling session. Open and honest communication between counselor and client is imperative to a successful therapeutic relationship.

Depression, anxiety, and trauma can weigh heavy on your heart — and they can make you feel like you’re carrying it all alone.
I’m a PsyPact-licensed psychologist, which means I can work with folks in North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and 39 other states. My path to this work is personal. Growing up, I often felt like I didn’t quite fit in — like my feelings were too big, and I didn’t know what to do with them. I know how lonely it can feel to think something might be wrong with you. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others find clarity, connection, and a little more kindness toward themselves.

Only accepting clients for CPT Intensives for PTSD
You appear capable and high-functioning on the outside while feeling anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck replaying the past internally.
I work with adults who feel anxious, numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others. Many replay past events, struggle with self-blame, or are over-functioning and exhausted. Some have tried unhelpful therapy before and are searching for a safe, collaborative, attuned space that prioritizes understanding, connection, and meaningful recovery.

I specialize in treating trauma and stress of all kinds.
Do you ever feel stressed out, lost or unmotivated? You don't have to overcome it on your own. I understand the hardships of daily life stressors and how these can affect your work, relationships, and physical health.

You just want to feel like yourself again and I want to help you to become the person you would like to be.

Do you spend your days taking care of others? Who is taking care of you? You may be a healthcare professional in a nursing home, hospital or even physical therapy office. Each patient comes with their own challenges that you tackle successfully, and while you don't hate your job, lately each day leaves you tired. There are probably elements of your personal life that are weighing on you, but there's no time to process anything.
Or maybe you find yourself being a caregiver for a loved one, which presents challenges tangled with emotions and relationship history and perhaps grieving the life you imagined.

Are you a millennial who learned your feelings are "too much" and that acceptance and love come from achievement so you are now an adult who people pleases and does their best to over function in a world of increasing demands and decreasing personal connection and support?

Are you approaching or navigating a major life change (college, graduation, marriage, parenthood, new career)?
