Therapists in Graham, NC

The storms of life bring damaging rain and wind that affect us the same way a storm can damage a physical house. Let me help you restore your life to its rightful state. I will help you gain restoration from the blows of life. I offer counseling in a safe compassionate environment.

I have an intersectional approach to therapy, and view that identities and systems in our world impact how we experience life. There are things within us and outside us that influence different conditions, it is challenging. In therapy we can take a look at ourselves and our history, as well as conditions outside of us that paint the story of our world. How are we existing now, and what comes next?
