Therapist

I help adolescents and adults who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or depression—whether that comes from childhood abuse, military experiences, or the impact of a narcissistic parent, ex, or partner. I know how isolating that can be. In our work together, my priority is helping you feel truly seen, heard, and understood in a safe, confidential space where you can show up exactly as you are.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hello! After my military career, I figured out there were no available job opportunities as a superhero so I chose a different path to help others and became a clinical social worker. While raising two kids, I started school, completed a life coaching course, and graduated with my MSW in 2006. I started my career at a local hospital providing inpatient services. Later, I joined an agency providing outpatient mental health therapy to help adults navigate through complicated life issues.

I am a "tomboy" at heart! I love motorcycles, dogs, horses, the beach, running, and live music. But are we a good therapy match? You decide- AAS-Agribusiness, BSW-Social Work, MSW-Social Work. Work History: 8 years in Public Health, 5 years in Child Welfare, 2 years in Caregiving, 2 years in Developmental Disabilities, 8 years in Mental Health. Did I mention that I worked for DuPont for 10 years before going back to school for social work? I have a strong work ethic-that means I give you 100%.

100% virtual telehealth counseling provided! Currently accepting clients who are physically located in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Arizona, or Oregon. (I am unable to see clients residing in Virginia at this time. If you’re located in one of the other states, I welcome the chance to work with you.)

I work with adults who have noticed their use of substances becoming disruptive to their life. They want to change their patterns and habits before other areas are affected. My approach is practical and evidence-based. Understanding that changing habits can be deeply challenging, I provide a safe, straightforward place where sustainable habits can be built, without judgment.
