You may be here because you’re carrying struggles and emotions that have become hard to bear. I am glad you are here. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, lying awake at night, carrying emotions that feel too heavy, or simply sensing that something in life needs to change, I want you to know that therapy can help bring the change you need. Therapy doesn’t erase life’s hardships, but it can help you through them.

We all have needed care, understanding, compassion, and guidance throughout our lives. Overcoming adversity and struggle is no exception. I am honored to help clients navigate problems, emotions, and life difficulties to become their best selves. I began my journey volunteering at a suicide prevention hotline, quickly finding my passion for being there for people in their darkest hours. Throughout graduate school and my clinical internship, I focused on trauma and crisis intervention to help clients during life’s most difficult moments. This role is incredibly meaningful and fulfilling work, and brings me joy to work alongside people as they heal.

Therapy with me is a supportive place where you can be who you are while also working to become your better self. It is a non-judgmental, safe, collaborative space that promotes healing, growth, and change. Clients often find me calm, open, and understanding. I believe meaningful therapy happens when people feel genuinely accepted, understood, and safe enough to be open and honest. My therapy style is not one-size-fits-all. I tailor therapy to each person’s unique goals, strengths, and experiences.

I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I am licensed as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counseling Associate in North Carolina. I’m committed to lifelong learning and regularly pursue additional training to ensure I provide thoughtful, evidence-based care to the people I serve. I retired from the United States Marine Corps after 21 years of service and am very passionate about helping veterans, military members, first responders, and their families. Outside of the office, I’ve been married for 20 years, and we have two children who continue to teach me about patience, growth, and seeing the world through new perspectives. I enjoy reading, coaching sports, gardening, thrifting, and decorating.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, uncertain, or simply ready for something to change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.
