I am nationally rostered in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Child Parent Psychotherapy and specialize working with children with multiple needs such as autism or developmental delays.
I believe that therapy should not only be individualized to support the child and family in terms of the challenges they are currently facing, but I also believe therapy should be individualized in terms of the location I serve it. Providing therapy where the need is means that therapy can be delivered in multiple domains such as office, home and childcare settings. My role is to help you and support you in your journey as parents and caregivers through challenging times and transitions. I am a behaviorist that takes on a strength based and family systems approach. I believe that every child has skills and strengths to build on.

Clients tend to focus on the problem and want to "fix" the problem and reach their end goal. What I try to challenge my clients here is that instead of focusing on the problem, let us try focusing on solutions. Instead of focusing on an end goal, let us try walking through this life changing journey together. As a therapist, a positive therapeutic relationship and patience is key to fully understand and slowly opening up the shell of vulnerability. Once the client has allowed the therapist into their vulnerability, positive change can start to occur.

Your story is important. We all give meaning to our own experiences, and sometimes our attempts to "make sense of it all" leave us feeling hopeless, inadequate, confused, lost, or angry. The "reasons" we act or feel the way we do are not always clear, and it can take a little digging to get to the root of things. The negative thoughts and feelings that exist within us can become draining and exhausting when we don't know what to do with them. Sometimes, because of the way we feel about ourselves, we struggle to feel secure in our own identity. As a therapist, I am interested in your story - as you see it through your own lens.

Depression, anxiety, bad lifestyle habits, inability to forgive oneself, or thinking you do not deserve better in life, can all be too big of a weight to carry alone. Perhaps you want to live a fulfilled life and enjoy the present moment but aren't sure how to get there. The first step is to share your story and invite someone into your world.

My approach to therapy is a culmination of my life's work with people in a variety of settings. My philosophy of therapy grows out of my many years as an interfaith pastoral care giver. I have worked with trauma at Albert Einstein Medical Center (Philadelphia, PA). I am a Veteran with combat experience as a Chaplain during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I have served as a clinical, interfaith, spiritual care provider at Pitt County Memorial Hospital (Greenville, NC), Duke HomeCare and Hospice (Durham, NC), and Rex Hospital (Raleigh, NC). I believe that people are "living human documents" continually under revision.

Making the decision to seek therapy can be scary, or sometimes you are ready to dive right in. Either way, I strive to create a safe, non judgmental space where you are respected and supported in exploring your thoughts, feelings and life experiences. I believe everyone possesses inherent worth, strengths and abilities and will work with you to uncover, rediscover, or refine these in order to live the life you want.

I love working with people and helping them "grow" through the things of life that they "go" through. A quote that I love to share with clients and live by personally is to remember not to focus on your purpose but to live your life purposely. As a military social worker my background is specific to first responders, but most importantly individuals that are learning their new "normal" after traumatic life events that have unexpectedly shaped them.

Stress, depression, anxiety and trauma, are a part of everyday life, yet most of us avoid our feelings and negate the vast emotions that surface. We deny our emotions and lean into everyday routines and then wonder why we feel sad, angry, overwhelmed and exhausted. These reactions can negatively affect our interpersonal relationships on every level – intimate sexual relationships, friendships, parent child dynamics and work relationships. Life does not have to exist this way.

It’s no secret that life can be messy and I believe that you can either learn from it, laugh about it, or cry about it– all of which are appropriate responses depending on the situation. I find importance in connecting behavioral and cognitive patterns to past experiences, and learning how to move forward and create the future you envision. I don’t shy away from the hard or messy, so you may find that I too show up authentically to assist with verbalizing and exploring the intensity of the human experience.
