​I've always wanted to incorporate animals into therapeutic activities. My family has 4 dogs and 2 cats, all rescues and I’ve volunteered with APS of Durham for over 10 years. Animal assisted therapy is generally done with the therapist's personal animal. My pre-Covid sessions were typically in home with you and your pet, developing more connection and emotional support. I’ve had to move to telehealth and with a small practice am limited in taking on many new clients. I am able to schedule weekdays or evenings. I try to keep personal life balance but also be available and flexible to support you when you need.

Whether you have a life challenge or stress and issues getting in the way, we can work through it together. Sometimes, seeking help is the best way to put things into perspective. I've counseled parents, adolescents and adults on issues around LGBTQ, medical/chronic health and developmental disability, career and other life transitions.
After working in medical rehab, I completed my masters in Rehabilitation Counseling focusing on accommodations and independence for individuals with disabilities. My interest in mental health, I try to support you how you need. I'm completing my Animal-assisted Psychotherapy certification and sharing my connection to animals with clients.
