Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by trauma or ADHD? As a trauma-informed therapist, I help adults move past patterns of over-responsibility, self-doubt, and disconnection using IFS, EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic therapy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in honoring your lived experience. I also provide clinical supervision for LCMHCAs in North Carolina, offering a supportive, reflective space to grow confidence and deepen clinical skills.
I offer a grounded, supportive space where you can slow down, listen inward, and begin to untangle the patterns that keep you stuck. Whether you're navigating the effects of trauma, ADHD, or chronic anxiety, I help you make sense of your inner world with curiosity and compassion—not judgment.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting. It’s important to know that you’re not alone in this journey, and it’s perfectly okay to seek help. If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. Let’s explore how we can work together to create the change you’re seeking.
