As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), with a foundation in psychology and trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), my education and specialty allow me to support clients with care that is both evidence-based and deeply compassionate.
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed with life, exhausted, anxious, or depressed? Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event? Perhaps you struggle with a chronic illness. Maybe you struggle with a difficult child or teen. Or maybe your partner has been unfaithful. Are you tired of feeling isolated and hopeless? You want- no, you need- things to change, but you don’t where to begin. Asking for help can be one of the most difficulty things to do, but I would be honored to help you discover your inner strength and begin your journey to healing and being who you are meant to be.
I have received training in Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for managing bipolar disorders as well as certification as a clinical trauma professional. A nationally certified counselor, I am also a member of LPC Association of NC and the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP).
I am passionate about helping people triumph over trauma, learn mindfulness-based practices to reduce stress and manage anxiety, improve self-esteem, understand the relationship among our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (CBT) and learn to tolerate distress in their lives.
Hello all, and welcome to Beach Brain PLLC. I am a board-certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 15 years of psychiatric experience. As a psychiatric nurse, I have always wanted to provide more accessibility and care for my patients. My treatment approach is relaxed, and patient focused. My areas of treatment include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, ADHD, mood disorders and sleep disorders.
I have received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. Don't let that scare you. I do not judge and am easily relatable. I enjoy working with older teens into adulthood. Working with those who have anxieties, depression, and trying to adjust to new things are part of what I like working with.
I have spent my career supporting clients through many life challenges and transitions. For the past two decades, I have been privileged to support patients and families on their journeys through chronic illness and end of life decision making. In addition I have helped many clients with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, health concerns, caregiver burden, relationship issues, and communication challenges.
I bring more than 25 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges. I studied at Oxford in England, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of helping many people feel more understood, supported, and hopeful. I work with clients of all ages and aim to create care that feels thoughtful, compassionate, and personal. Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and cat.
For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest
moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you
invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something
worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South
Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a
blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where
you are and help you build toward where you want to be.
