Hey there! Do you ever feel like no one understands what you are going through? As a therapist who has been to therapy (and still goes sometimes!), I understand how important it is to feel seen, be listened to and understood. Therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and comfortable opening up. Recognizing this, my approach consists of us getting to know one another and building trust. Once trust is built, we can dive deeper into the issues you want to address. Every client is unique and deserves individualized treatment tailored to fit their wants and needs. I will meet you where you are at, and we can go from there!

I am passionate about joining my client’s care team and supporting them in reaching any wellness goals they have. I work to build a trusting relationship with my client and work collaboratively to create a treatment plan and identify strengths and barriers to achieving it. I believe that one of the most important factors in treatment is the strength of the relationship with my clients, so I want to ensure they feel comfortable and safe from the start. My faith and beliefs have taught me the importance of walking alongside clients through difficult times and helping them to live healthy and successful lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker /Therapist (LCSW) Board Certified in NC. I have over 20 years of experience in the fields of Mental Health and Substance Abuse. I provide Individual and Family Counseling and work with all populations such as children, adolescents and adults. My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment in which my clients can explore their emotional needs, discuss behavioral issues and overcome barriers that limit their full potential.

We all have times we need to talk about ourselves, relationships, or situation to best figure things out. I provide a safe and active environment where you can focus completely on yourself without fear of judgment, and we work together to find ways to improve things. I help people solve a variety of life issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, family issues, and general life stress, to name a few.

Your child may not be exactly in sync with the world around them, facing challenges like Olympic-level fidgeting or having challenges socially or academically. They may feel frustrated, isolated, and misunderstood, with their behavior being challenging and intense in how they relate to others. Such behaviors can create a rollercoaster of emotions, not just for them but also for you as their parent. As they navigate the ups and downs of their social and academic world, it can become downright overwhelming. These behaviors are not fleeting phases; it's their way of saying, 'Houston, we have a problem.'

Stressful life experiences, family conflict, difficulties adjusting, and mental health issues can be overwhelming and at times debilitating. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive outlet to navigate these issues and help individuals and families restore themselves and experience positive and lasting change. Restoration Family Counseling feels strongly that the foundation of therapy is a warm and collaborative relationship where evidence-based therapy techniques are chosen based on each individual's presenting issues, personality, and cultural and familial background. Restoration Family Counseling has a team of 5 clinicians and works with young children, teens, individual adults, families, and couples.

I aim to create a space where you feel safe and respected while remaining free from judgement regardless of the complexity of your challenges. In addition to successfully treating the symptoms of several mental health diagnoses with all different age ranges, I also help to identify the root of present-day concerns and alleviate the existing barriers that prevent us from moving forward. We work together in collaboration and mutual understanding so you see a noticeable shift in outlook by the end of each session with clearer strategies to get desired results.
