I am licensed in North Carolina with 17 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & career difficulties. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
My approach to therapy is client-centered, supportive, and practical. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques to help you better understand your thoughts, build coping strategies, and make meaningful changes in your daily life. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being open, while also gently challenging patterns that may be holding you back. Together, we will focus on your goals and work at a pace that feels right for you.
In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental space where you can share what's been going on at your own pace. We'll spend time getting to know you, what brought you to therapy, and what you'd like to get out of our work together. I'll ask some questions to better understand your experiences and help us begin identifying goals that feel meaningful and manageable. You don't need to have everything figured out-just showing up is a great first step.
