I have seen the growth and healing that can happen when you experience understanding and acceptance in a safe and compassionate environment. Whether you are coming into therapy to address current stressors in your life or are ready to work through past trauma, I will provide you with a supportive environment to begin that process. Together we will build awareness of your core beliefs, identify your patterns of interacting with the world, and uncover your inner strengths. Through learning the impact of traumatic experiences on the brain and nervous system, we can learn to regulate our emotions and increase safety in the body. I utilize a range of therapeutic approaches including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and mindfulness-based interventions. In working with children, I use play to enhance the processing of their inner experiences and feelings. I empower families to build positive relationships through active participation in family therapy and parent consultation sessions. I believe in personalizing treatment to each individual using a client-centered, collaborative approach. My practice is inclusive of all identities and I strive to honor each individual’s unique experience. I look forward to talking with you and seeing if I would be a good fit.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, an Associate Partner Trauma Therapist, and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I am also trained as a child-centered play therapist. I work with children who struggle with anxiety, difficulty in family or school situations, depression, behavioral concerns, trauma, or grief and loss. With adults, I have extensive background in betrayal, anxiety, trauma, and depression. My priority is to help you find a sense of safety within yourself & relationships. I also specialize in couples therapy working on communication skills, trust, infidelity, and conflict. I believe children can meet their goals and heal. The therapeutic relationship can help children develop autonomy, positive self-concept, self-acceptance, and improved coping. I view child counseling as a collaborative approach that includes both the child and his or her family, so I frequently work with parents in the process. I have Gottman Level 1 Couples Therapy certification, a highly evidence-based modality to improving relationships, that is my foundation in couples work. I see infidelity as trauma in relationships, and use my certified partner trauma training to help you find emotional safety and self-compassion.

We travel the road with you, hope for the hopeful and hopeless! We bring authentic listening joined with the power of hope together. Have you heard of how to master tightrope walking? Do you know tightrope walkers are never actually standing still but constantly making fine tweaks in how they stand, so they can adjust themselves to stay balanced on the tightrope? In a world full of distractions, I have witnessed the power of storytelling as people process their past and ongoing experiences. My compassion is to be the support for people who desire to identify the little tweaks that they can make to stay balanced on the tightrope. Registered as a board-certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC), I believe that creativity and art-making help to communicate, explore, and connect within one’s self and with their environment. I specialized in individuals who have experienced trauma, including but not limited to interpersonal trauma, significant losses, and PTSD. I thrive to create a space that is safe and nonjudgmental for clients as they discover their genuine selves and create goals for being present with their loved ones. For anyone interested in an endeavor to engage with these services, you are one appointment away from discovering hope and empowerment that is uniquely catered for your life’s journey!

Have you ever struggled to find the words to describe how you are feeling? Or, wished to express yourself beyond just talking in therapy? When words can't express it, art can! Whether you consider yourself an artist or not (and you don't have to be one to do art), visual expression and the creative process can help. Jung said, "often the hands will solve a mystery the intellect has struggled with in vain." Art offers you the opportunity to explore and work through what is challenging you a little differently than solely talking about it. View 5 Photos I offer a holistic, strengths based, person centered, experiential style of therapy. This includes art. Art becomes a way of knowing, expressing, considering, and exploring within the session. But, this also definitely includes talking. We use art and words to gain perspective and insight on how to help you feel better. To learn more about my practice, please visit my website. Reaching out for support, is an important first step toward change, healing, and growth. Whatever your challenge, you don't have to face it alone. I would like to help you feel better and create the change you wish to see in your life. I look forward to speaking with you!

Change can be difficult -- Allow me to help you succeed on your journey! Throughout my years of experience, I've found great joy and satisfaction in helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with children treating for phobias, unhappiness, divorce, grief, separation issues, abuse, neglect, poor self-esteem, and problems adjusting to life transitions. I use a combination of play therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy, as appropriate per the child's developmental level. Treating "difficult" teens is also one of my specialties. I treat youth experiencing challenges with depression, anxiety, abuse, substance use, and self-harm. I treat adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting issues, stress, separation/divorce and other life crisis situations. My passion and unique specialty is animal-assisted therapy. A fully-trained and certified animal is directed by a mental health professional and this type of therapy may aid in increasing verbal interactions, increasing attention skills, developing leisure/recreation skills, increasing self-esteem, and reducing anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

Finding the right fit in any relationship is important; the same is true in therapy. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients to create your roadmap for success. Helping clients who struggle with family related issues, parenting hurdles and relationships difficulties encompasses a lot of my experience. I also specialize in addressing traumas and/or traumatic events (including those connected to military or emergency response events), healing relationships and strengthening the emotional connection between partners, and parents and children. I am married to a Military Service Member and a mother to two rambunctious little boys. I have found these things have helped me greatly in connecting with clients, understanding the hurdles of family life and parenting, maintaining a healthy marriage and tackling curveballs from the military related life events. Experience has taught me the client's journey through the therapy process is just as important as the outcome of the therapy. The results you achieve are the outcome of your hard work and dedication to making changes in your life.

At one point or another, we discover that life is full of ups and downs. The bad news is that no matter how hard we try to hold on to the good times and avoid the bad times, both seem to eventually dissolve into the other. The good news is that this isn't a problem and doesn't need to be feared. Successful therapy helps clients learn to understand how our lives flow, clarifies the confusion that comes when things feel particularly stuck and unsettled, and helps to draw out the wisdom of our mind, body, and spirit. View 4 Photos My approach is non-pathological, gentle, often infused with humor, and oriented towards synchronizing mind and body. Drawing on tools and techniques from Western Psychology and Eastern Philosophy, together you and I will explore what is and isn't working in your life and discover how you can make changes to move you towards the life you want to be living. In addition to having an MA from Naropa University in Boulder, CO, I am a former snowboard and skateboard instructor, an avid outdoorsman, and I have a lifelong love of video games.
