Therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and encouraged to grow. My role is to meet you where you are while helping you gain clarity, recognize patterns, build on your strengths, and identify practical steps toward the changes you want to make. I value authentic conversations and will offer thoughtful feedback, encouragement, and accountability along the way. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to help you move forward with greater confidence and intention.

I am offering immediate appointment slots and flexible rates during this difficult time. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression due to COVID-19? Do you feel uncertain about how to move forward during this difficult time? You may feel trapped or hopeless, but I can help you with proven coping skills and by working with you to create a new perspective. My life experience provides a solid foundation upon which I have built my techniques and interventions. In addition to my work with adults, I have experience with teens and young adults, and enjoy connecting with them and helping them navigate life and family challenges.

I spent 25 years in corporate America before earning my master's degree in professional counseling. This experience has given me insight into the stresses in the workplace. Having been a long time sufferer of anxiety, I can empathize with the weight of this emotion while also sharing techniques that have helped me live a better, more enjoyable life.

We are living in uncertain times and COVID fatigue has made daily life even more difficult to manage. It can feel overwhelming, but I will work with you to re-train your brain so that your automatic thought patterns are encouraging instead of fearful.

I am a North Carolina native, born and raised in a small town. I most enjoy witnessing the moment when clients in my care really "get it" and understand themselves better. I consider myself a behaviorist at heart with a passion for trauma-focused therapy. I most often utilize DBT and working with those suffering from emotional dysregulation, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. I believe that everyone is capable of achieving a life worth living and loving. Personality disorder, depression and neurodivergence are my passion areas of expertise. I love to help folks find their authentic selves and live unapologetically. My experience spans elementary age to mid-life and everything in between. If you are quirky, unique and yearn for skills and stability, I'm the provider for you.
