Therapy Session in North Carolina

Greetings, I am here to help you on your journey. We will accomplish your goals together. I want therapy to be a safe place where you can express yourself and grow into who you were created to be. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults in individual and family therapy. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Structural and Strategic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Gestalt Family Therapy, and more. I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, and Conduct Disorder. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey.

I believe in order to have total healing and complete growth, individuals must focus on treating all parts of themselves as a whole. This holistic approach includes looking within and at all areas of one's life (physical, mental, emotional, spirtual, etc.) I provide consultations and counseling/psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults and advocates. My main therapeutic approaches are Holistic and Cognitive-Behavioral. However, the therapeutic approach chosen will be client centered and problem focused on the issues experienced by the client to assist the client in reaching the most favorable outcomes, growth and healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses trauma-informed, person-centered approaches to support healing and growth. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies from the College of Charleston before completing my Master’s in Social Work. My experience spans working with young children and their parents through Child Parent Psychotherapy, as well as supporting adults with severe and persistent mental illnesses such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Major Depression. In my personal life, I love to read, camp, and play board games. I’m also a parent, a chronic illness warrior, and a lifelong nerd—roles that give me empathy, humor, and perspective in the work I do every day.

Hello! I am a social worker that graduated from NC State University and I have a specialization in children and adolescents as well as in autism and ADHD. I try to bring a warmth and kindness to all of my interactions with clients, parents, and anyone in the client's life as well as a level of openness and understanding of the circumstances that surround clients. I am passionate about the support and care that I provide to each person as they navigate through depression, anxiety, life changes, trauma, autism, ADHD, and more. I ground my approach in evidence-based practice, empathy, and individual care for each and every person. My goal, at the end of the day, is to make sure that all of my clients find their strengths, feel empowerd, and can take the steps they need to achieve their goals.

I am an open-minded and supportive therapist who specializes in anxiety, mood disorders, neurodiversity, relationship and family challenges, and trauma. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a focus on Marriage and Family Counseling and hold graduate certificates in Expressive Arts Therapy and Addictions Counseling. I am also a Trust Based Relational Intervention Practitioner which involves specific training to meet the complex developmental needs of children who have experienced trauma and attachment insecurity. My main focus in therapy is to help you feel safe and to understand your challenges from your viewpoint. My goal is to help build on your strengths and develop new skills so that challenges feel workable. Being stuck or overwhelmed can feel isolating and I don't want you to feel alone, we can work together. My hope is that you finish therapy with greater self-awareness, confidence, and connection.
