Maybe you're at a crossroads with your career or finding it hard to connect with yourself. Or perhaps you've experienced trauma that you cannot navigate alone; you're not alone, and there is help available.

Having worked with over 4,000 clients, including individuals, families, couples, students, groups, children, and non-profit organizations, I understand that life can be unpredictable. My military experience and multidisciplinary approach to therapy have taught me resilience and the importance of mental health. As an LPC, I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing a PhD in Social Psychology. I use a unique blend of therapy models in my practice, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, and sex therapy as a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP). This diverse approach allows me to better address your mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga, and art therapy to help you build a stronger, more positive relationship with yourself. My approach is especially supportive for those who have experienced trauma, providing a safe and nurturing environment to process and heal. Whether you're dealing with career stress, relationship issues, trauma, or looking to improve your self-awareness, I'm here to help.

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor and see clients in Tennessee and North Carolina. I help adults who have experienced trauma, whether from a single incident, lifelong patterns, or developmental experiences. They struggle with excessive worry, emotional reactivity, strained relationships, and feeling stuck in survival mode, often having tried traditional therapy but are now seeking a faster, lasting solution. I also specialize in anxiety, ADHD and sexual issues. Using Rapid Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, neuroscience education, and mindfulness, I create playful, engaging sessions that shift trauma rapidly. Clients leave feeling calm, centered, and fully present, with a deep sense of well-being and freedom from flashbacks or the need to "try" to do things differently—it just happens naturally.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by North Carolina rather than a city like Charlotte?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across North Carolina from Raleigh to Greensboro! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in North Carolina.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Phobias?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Phobias, is filtering therapists in North Carolina that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
