I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and that my role as your therapist is to work alongside you to explore and conquer barriers to personal growth and promote positive change and healing. Having had experience as both a therapist and therapy client, I have an acute understanding of the importance of the client-therapist relationship in impacting successful therapy outcomes. I strive to provide a warm, inclusive and collaborative environment for my clients and encourage ongoing client feedback.
I practice trauma-informed, integrative psychotherapy using a combination of treatment approaches depending on the individual needs of each client. This enables me to provide individualized therapy that builds on my clients’ strengths. Treatment approaches I have found to be most helpful to my clients include Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Somatic Therapy, EFT for Couples, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, and the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework.
I specialize in individual and couples therapy with adults (age 18 & up) who are struggling with complex trauma, traumatic medical events (injury and illness), and food and body image issues. I provide counseling virtually in NC.
If you are looking for support in your healing process, and my bio speaks to you, please reach out for a free consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
