I have lived my life hard, fast, ugly, and beautiful, discovering what fascinates me the most about people is how we spiral into trouble, overcome our challenges, recover, and change. Because I have lived experience, I have a great deal of empathy and knowledge to offer as a licensed LCMHC and LCAS in North Carolina with 12 years of professional work and 22+ in the field. I usually assist people with a history of trauma, substance use, mental health challenges, and other co-occurring disorders along with adverse conditions such as, stress and anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and relationship/sexual issues. I use approaches for changing deeply rooted behavioral patterns that are psychodynamic in nature such as Re-Decision Therapy (a combination of Gestalt and Transactional Analysis); Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy (TRET) which is very similar to EMDR and proven to be just as effective, as well as Narrative Therapy (Therapeutic Writing/Journaling Techniques) training with Kathleen Adams at the Center for Journal Therapy. Ultimately, I use the approach that works best for you., I work with you to develop the skills and mindset so necessary to make the changes you are looking for. I help you to find your own voice in the world so you can own who you are with confidence. All of this is a process, for after all, it is how we endure our inner struggles, become self-aware, apply our insights and skills to better our relationships, that inspires the growth and change we wish to make in our lives.

During the course of my career I have worked to help individuals clients address issues that are standing in the way of them becoming a better version of themselves. I am licensed in the states of Florida and North Carolina. My experience as a psychotherapist has been with people of all ages, a broad range of issues and diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation and spiritual backgrounds. My areas of focus are: helping the individual manage their response to stress in a healthier manner so the stress does not manage the individual, providing education and skills to cope more effectively with anxiety and/or depression, dealing with addictive behaviors, relationship issues, increasing personal empowerment over the consequences of trauma and abuse, developing an understanding of the impact of early life experiences on personal development and impact in present day situations, and improving self esteem/self confidence and self worth. The principles that guide my work as a psychotherapist are as follow: 1) Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and compassion. 2) Seeking therapy is one of he most courageous, empowering, and healing choices one can make. 3) Helping the individual to understand, heal, and overcome negative life experiences from the past, 4) It is the therapist's responsibility to earn the individual's trust during the course of the therapeutic relationship. 5) Mutual respect and collaboration between the therapist and the individual seeking therapy make it possible for positive change to happen. 6) When it comes to the therapy approach, "One size does not fit all." There is no one specific approach that is effective for everyone. Therapy is tailored to meet each person's unique style to enhance the likelihood of positive results. Congratulations on taking this very brave and important first step on the road to a better you!

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Bakersville is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
