Certified Trauma Therapist (CCTP)- International Trauma Training Institute I am compassionate, empathetic and understanding. I believe that each individual is unique and that there is no one size fits all in mental health. Thus, I firmly believe in a person-centered/individualized approach. I believe the best outcomes are for the therapist and individual to work as a team. My goal is to walk along side my clients, honor their feelings- help them heal and be able to create the life they desire. Unfortunately, sometimes life throws curve balls at us that causes pain and brings us to life spaces in which we never probably thought we would ever find self. I feel negative emotions, like anxiety/depression has a way of clouding our vision where it's easy to get lost and loose direction. I have been blessed to have had the opportunities to work with individuals, families and couples in a variety of different settings. I have experience working with individuals inpatient, outpatient as well as in the institutional and correctional setting. I also have experience working with a diversified population of people from various ethnic backgrounds. I specialize in working with those who struggle with eating disorders, body dysmorphia, depression, anxiety, life transitions, adjustment and addictions. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and work on change. I am glad you decided to take that step and I am ready to plant footsteps beside you through this journey. I look forward to working with you!

I am licensed in North Carolina and South Dakota, with over three years of experience working as a clinical mental health therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, such as anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, self-esteem and body image, life changes, stress management, difficulty with relationships, self-harm, suicidal ideation, boundary setting, and disruptive, impulse-control, conduct disorders, and more. My therapy style is warm, open-minded, client-centered, and collaborative. I believe therapy is most effective when it's a shared journey—we will work together to identify solutions that align with your values and goals. If one path doesn’t feel right, we’ll continue exploring until we find what does. I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I will, of course, tailor our sessions and your treatment plan to best meet your unique needs. Creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space is a top priority for me. I strive to ensure that every client feels heard, respected, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey. It takes courage to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey! I look forward to working with you!
