In my private practice, The Hopeful Hour, I meet with clients via telehealth, and I primarily help people who feel misunderstood, are highly independent, and have experienced difficult things to build awareness into their behaviors & reduce frustration, process past challenges, and navigate new ones that are heavy and confusing.
I have my LCSW in NC and received my MSW from UNCW. I also have a background in Psychology and Criminology and am EMDR trained by the EMDR Institute.
I aim to provide a non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported in making meaningful change.
If you are calm and steady in a crisis but get antsy or irritable when someone is behind you- I’d likely be a good fit. I will hold space for you to vent, challenge you to build awareness into thoughts and feelings, encourage healthy boundaries, and always support you in getting past your past to get to know a more present and hopeful you through methods like EMDR.
I often use EMDR and an Attachment-Based style to support you in looking beyond the surface into past experiences and how they shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the present. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to accomplish goals you set. These steps can be uncomfortable, and I'll support you in them.
