Nice to meet you

My work often focuses on ways to help individuals reclaim their sense of self and autonomy. I am passionate about helping individuals grow confident in who they are with an emphasis on living authentically. I utilize humor and a down-to-earth approach in professional settings and within my therapeutic practices as a way to humanize the process of therapy.

Outside of therapy, I find immense joy in my day to day life in the mountains of North Carolina. I love spending time with my husband and our two dogs and our cat. I love to craft, paint, read, and visit as many history museums as possible.

EXPERIENCE

My methods

Internal Family Systems

I utilize IFS as a way to help people navigate the various parts of self we all have. I especially love bringing inner child work into the picture as a way of healing and learning to self-soothe.

Reality Therapy

Rooted in the idea of choice, reality therapy focuses on empowering clients to look at the things they can control.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma therapy modality designed to reduce the distress people may feel around traumatic experiences.

Person Centered

Person centered therapy is exactly as it sounds - making sure that the therapy is focused on the individual! Person centered therapy often means that the client is the expert of their own life and needs - not the therapist!

Doloress K.

Therapy has really helped me overcome some past trauma I had been keeping under a lid for a long time. Now, I feel happier and more confident in my life, and feel like I can walk with my head held high.

Anthony M.

Coming from a competitive sports background, the injury that ended up making me give up my career was a hard blow. With therapy, I was able to start building my identity around other things than just sport.

Happy clients
