As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in NC and AZ, and holding a doctorate in traumatology, I guide clients through trauma recovery with compassion and expertise. I provide a safe, supportive space for insight, empowerment, and lasting change using a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities. You don't have to navigate this alone. Healing is possible, and I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and understanding. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can create a path toward clarity, connection, and a more empowered you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, we'll create a safe, supportive space to explore your story, discuss your goals, and begin building trust. This is a time for us to get to know each other and for you to share what feels most important to you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I offer warmth, authenticity, and a non-judgmental space where you can feel seen and heard. I'm deeply attuned, collaborative, and committed to helping you feel safe, supported, and empowered in your growth and healing journey.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My ideal client is someone impacted by trauma struggling with anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or difficulties in relationships - often feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns. They may have experienced childhood adversity, attachment wounds, or significant life transitions and are seeking a safe space to heal and make sense of their experiences. My clients want to feel more control, develop self-trust, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Their goals often include processing the past, gaining emotional clarity, and building a grounded, empowered sense of self.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use person-centered therapy to create a warm, supportive environment where clients feel genuinely seen and heard. I believe healing happens through authentic connection, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. This approach allows clients to explore their experiences at their own pace, fostering self-trust and growth.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I integrate DBT to help clients build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. I support clients in finding balance between acceptance and change while navigating life's challenges. DBT offers practical tools that empower clients to respond to difficult emotions with greater awareness and intention.
EMDR
I use EMDR to help clients process and heal from distressing memories and experiences that feel "stuck". EMDR allows us to access the brain's natural ability to heal by reducing the emotional charge of painful memories. I guide clients through this structured, compassionate process at a pace that feels safe and empowering.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I used CBT to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that impact emotions and behaviors. Together, we explore how beliefs and thinking styles influence daily experiences and relationships. CBT offers practical strategies for building insight, coping skills, and lasting change.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I use CPT to support clients in understanding how trauma has shaped their beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. Together, we identify stuck points - thoughts that keep clients feeling trapped in distress. CPT helps clients challenge and reframe these thoughts to promote healing, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of safety.
