I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor. My approach is warm, person-centered, and grounded in empathy, honesty, and collaboration. I work with individuals and couples navigating life transitions, trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, and identity-related challenges. My goal is to help each client feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in trauma-informed care, drawing from Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I’m also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which allows me to help clients process and heal from past trauma in a safe and structured way. Before counseling, I worked in nursing, where I saw firsthand the impact of unaddressed emotional pain. That insight continues to shape my commitment to holistic, compassionate care. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to grow, I’m here to walk alongside you with curiosity and care. At R&R Counseling, I strive to create a space where you can breathe, reflect, and take steps toward the life you want. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, it’s about rediscovering your strength.

I am passionate about assisting individuals with improving their quality of life and daily functioning during the most delicate and vulnerable times in their lives. I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families by helping them to develop coping strategies, improve mental health/interpersonal skills, and techniques to decrease life stressors and mental health symptoms that negatively impact personal functioning and quality of life. I am a Certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapist and focuses on the effective treatment for those that have endured sexual, physical, emotional, childhood and domestic abuse. I consider myself to be an Integrative Psychotherapist, which means I use a variety of orientations and therapies to be able to meet the client’s individual needs.

I am dedicated to helping people heal holistically from past traumas, anxiety, depression, anger or relationship challenges. I use a very effective treatment modality called Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people heal from traumatic memories, negative beliefs about themselves, or past situations in one's life that have caused them emotional pain. In addition, I teach people how to manage their thoughts and emotions using mindfulness, mind/body, and meditation practices and cognitive behavioral methods. For those who are interested in healing their mental health naturally through changing their life style habits, I have training in how proper nutrition and exercise can help improve one's brain health, and therefore improve their mental health.

I believe that when individuals feel free to express their authentic selves, they pave the way for life-changing opportunities. I am also a licensed clinical social worker based in North Carolina. I have a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate their emotional landscapes and discover their true selves.
