Hello and nice to "meet" you! I have been a licensed counselor since 2004 (SC #4579 and NC #22747). I earned a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and Counseling from UNC Chapel Hill in 1999. Early in my career, I focused my work with children, adolescents, and families, as well as adults. Since then, I have narrowed my focus to victims of trauma, First Responders, and those Depressive Disorders and Anxiety Disorders.
I am rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with advanced training in the treatment of trauma and anxiety. I believe YOU are your greatest resource, and want to work with you so that you can see that too. I am committed to treating clients with compassion and respect, in a judgment free space.
My clients would describe me as trustworthy, compassionate, attentive, and easy to talk to. I have also been told that my clients feel that I truly care about them (because I do!). It is my firm belief that building rapport with your therapist, and feeling that you are valued as a person, is the foundation of the work that is done in therapy.
