I have specialized in working with people who are suffering from depression, anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), adjustment challenges and life transitions, parenting transitions and struggles, and interpersonal conflict. The majority of my experience comes from counseling individuals diagnosed with major depression and anxiety disorders to include PTSD, and Severe and Persistent Mental Illness.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment of mutual trust. I use an integrative approach, primarily relying on cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and solution-focused strategies, with a trauma-informed perspective. I also draw upon expressive art therapy, play therapy, narrative therapy, and relaxation/meditation techniques.

I believe that I am not the expert in your life, rather that expert is you. Through a strong therapeutic alliance, we work together towards solving challenges and problems. I firmly believe that people can heal through the power of the therapeutic partnership between client and therapist, while implementing new skills that improve their situations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) serving clients in North Carolina and South Carolina. Before becoming a therapist, I spent decades in education as a K-12 Art and Special Education Teacher in the Chicago Public Schools, and homeschooling students with learning, behavioral, and emotional disabilities. I am trauma-informed and trained in EMDR, Expressive Arts, Person-Centered, and CBT, and am working toward RPT certification. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationships, attachment, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, helping them move toward resilience, authenticity, and hope.

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, recognizing that healing involves mind, body, emotions, and relationships. I draw from EMDR, Expressive Arts, Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, and play-based approaches tailored to each client's needs, pace, and goals. Together, we build emotional awareness, coping skills, resilience, and hope.

You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and accepted as you are. We can take the next steps together, at a pace that feels right for you. I invite you to schedule an appointment; I would be honored to walk alongside you toward healing, resilience, and hope.
