Therapy is an act of self-love. It's a gift we give ourselves to transform our suffering into healing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate and 200 Hr Yoga Teacher supporting those with past trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, eating disorders, and anyone who needs a safe space to process difficult experiences. For the last 8 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families in foster care, crisis services, in-home, and hospital settings.

My practice is based on anti-oppressive principles & embodied awareness. I work with people of all sexualities & genders to address depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, family conflict, relationship issues, self-esteem, & trauma using a holistic approach to healing. I have expertise in addressing sexual violence & the traumatic effects of systems (racism, sexism, homophobia etc). I encourage clients to nurture their inner voice, to gently observe what happens in the present moment, & to engage actively in the therapeutic process. My practice is poly, kink & sex worker affirming.

I will approach my work with you with respect, care and curiosity.

I will bring mindfulness, somatic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, and my own humanity to the table to meet you where you are.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor & Supervisor and have over 15 years of experience working with clients of all ages. My approach is warm and supportive and I view clients through a strengths-based lens. I understand that the challenges facing us today are stressful and unpredictable, and I will work in collaboration with you to help you regain balance, presence, and compassion for yourself in your personal growth.

I whole-heartedly believe that you are the expert on you! I hold the framework in our work together that you contain the inner wisdom around what you need for healing and growth. My role is to help you identify, strengthen, and listen to that inner guidance. At times this inner-knowing can become muted or distorted.

We are a therapy practice of experienced clinicians who specialize in working with disordered eating, food, weight, and body image struggles, perinatal and postpartum challenges, relationship difficulties, and women's issues. We recognize the complexity of various stressors facing individuals in these challenging times and we welcome those who are new to the therapy experience as well as those who are seeking a new therapy process. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based modalities but put you and your needs first, when determining the best treatment approach. Most important is listening to you and establishing a safe environment for a healing relationship to develop.

Congratulations on embarking upon the next step in your journey! Each of these steps — every experience of bliss, fear, frustration, or sorrow — have all lead you to this very moment. The challenges and complexities of your day-to-day life may have lead you here. The traumas, losses, and heartaches of the past have, too. And while I would rather that each of us would be spared these experiences — it is my hope that I may have a chance to partner alongside you as you grow and, ideally, heal from each of them.

I've always wanted to incorporate animals into therapeutic activities. My family has 4 dogs and 2 cats, all rescues. I volunteer at APS of Durham and excited about bringing my love for counseling and animals together. Animal assisted therapy is generally with the therapist's personal animal, but we can meet in your home and have your pet with you if that's more comfortable. If you're considering adoption, I'd love to help you find your perfect SoulMutt. I see clients in their home but can accommodate in my home office in SW Durham...it's your time and we can decide what works best for you. http://www.SoulMuttsTherapy.org

Dedication to community engagement and social justice is the foundation of my practice because we do not exist in a vacuum. Clients’ lives are affected by not only their identities and beliefs, but also how they move through and are seen in the world. I use humor, positivity and warmth to support clients on their journey of healing and change.

Every child needs a nurturing environment that allows them to grow into productive adults; however, from childhood into adulthood there are times that adversity presents itself. The road can become rocky and sometimes stop with no apparent direction in which to travel. When the road is too bumpy and travel is difficult, a therapist can help by serving as guide and aid and walk with you until the road is safe again to travel on your own. I look forward to being apart of your journey.

Things are hard right now. You're here because you want things to be different and don't quite know how to make that happen. I want to help you feel hopeful, powerful, and in control of your life. Whether you're feeling pain from trauma/abuse, engaging in behaviors that are no longer working for your life (self-harming, substance use, disordered eating), or struggling with relationships, I can help. I have a person-centered approach so I can meet you at your current point in life and support you in reaching your goals.

Are you feeling stuck, discontented, or hopeless? Do you find yourself wondering if there is more to life? You are not alone. Many of us find ourselves stuck in patterns of thought and behavior that leave us feeling discontent, disconnected, and unworthy. I believe that we are all born worthy and born with an inner wisdom that guides us towards meaning and authenticity, My goal as a therapist is to support clients in learning to access their own inner wisdom by learning new ways of relating to emotions, relating to others, and relating to themselves.

I believe that everyone has the ability to find power within themselves to create a life that works best for them. I specialize in working with teenagers and adults with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image concerns, bipolar disorder, dissociative episodes and life transitions.

You matter, and you are enough despite what may be going on around you. You deserve to find peace and move forward with your life. Seeking therapy is a big step and I am here for you! Life can be difficult, but you are not alone. My passion is assisting individuals in taking the steps necessary to becoming the best version of themselves. I hold the belief that all people have the capacity to change, heal and repair, while working to understand regulate and process uncomfortable emotions, experiences and or difficult behaviors. I strive to understand your unique experience and walk with you through your journey.
