So glad you're here! I am an LCSW, licensed in NC and SC. I believe in taking a collaborative, tailored approach to helping my clients feel better and live a life of contentment, whatever that looks like! I love it when my clients consider their sessions a SAFE, relaxed, open space to express themselves freely without fear of judgement, whatever they're going through. I firmly believe in the power of connection in emotionally safe spaces to help us work through our toughest "stuff," and it's such an honor and privilege to help my clients feel loved, heard and understood! I want my clients to consider therapy THEIR time, and I hope they leave sessions feeling a little more hopeful, heard, unburdened and ready to get back to their lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will talk about what brought you to therapy, learn a little about your history, and will explore what it would look like if things were "better" for you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I love building therapeutic relationships of trust and safety in a relaxed, open-minded environment. My mission first and foremost as a therapist is to foster that safe space for you to express yourself as fully as you need to.

DBT is a mindfulness, distress tolerance, improving interpersonal skills, and emotional regulation, DBT helps us learn to navigate life's ups and downs by first accepting that things are how they are, then being able to respond in a healthier way than previously possible.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
All of us have a certain attachment style... Anxious, Avoidant, Disorganized, or Secure. Attachment style inform the way we show up in relationships, both romantic and otherwise. By identifying our attachment styles and, in turn looking at how we came to attach in the way we do, we can shed light on issues we have in our relationships and day to day interactions with the world around us.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma informed care means that I am sensitive to the impact that trauma has on the lives of those it touches, taking into account its far-reaching effects on our physical and mental health.
