I support individuals and couples as they work through mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges that affect their daily lives. I address issues like OCD, trauma, PTSD, anger, perfectionism, grief, parenting, marital and premarital concerns, career development, and major life changes. I believe therapy is a place to foster self-awareness, develop healthy coping strategies, and support people in navigating the complexities of their relationships. My approach is relational, insight oriented, and grounded in practical tools.
I take a genuine approach to counseling, aiming to understand each person’s unique needs and support them in setting meaningful goals for personal growth and life changes. In our first sessions, we'll go over problem areas, gather background information for context, talk about treatment options, and set goals together.
Therapy is a collaborative and supportive process, designed to help you gain insight and build effective coping strategies. I offer in-person sessions in Caldwell County as well as virtual counseling services throughout North Carolina.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my work. In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you to therapy and figure out the best ways to support your progress. With CBT, we'll explore how your thoughts impact your emotions and experiences. Throughout treatment, I'll guide you in challenging those thoughts to help improve how you feel.
