My approach first and foremost is person-centered. Every person/couple is unique and my goal is to get to know you and learn what is important to you in order to help you to work to lead a more fulfilled life. I am a nonjudgmental, body-positive, sex-positive, LGBTQIA-affirming therapist who believes that every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. My desire is that my office is a safe space for you to be yourself where we can explore issues, past and present, and work toward personal growth. Secondly, my approach is strengths-based, focusing on what is working in your life and building upon those strengths. Goals and treatment may look different for every individual/couple, meaning I may incorporate different therapeutic modalities and the length of treatment will vary based on client needs. I value the therapeutic relationship, which is proven to be one of key pieces to effective therapy.
I specialize in supporting families with children ages 2-6. I provide services through a neurodevelopmental lens, and am in general child-led and play-based. I am certified as a DIR Floortime Provider (Basic) and a Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator. I love collaborating with teachers, OTs, and SLPs. I enjoy working with children with neurodiversity including those with diagnoses like autism, ADHD, or developmental disorders. I help families to build the skills to face challenges and increase the delight and joy they take in each other.

VA-Based LCSW providing brief therapies to veterans and their caregivers. Located within Salisbury VA Health Care System.
I earned my MSW in 2009, and have worked in a variety of settings (including hospice, home health, veterans, community mental health, etc.) and have been in solo private practice since 2014. I use a variety of evidence-based modalities, but my favorites are EMDR and Image Transformation Therapy. Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.
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, 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 disordered eating & body image, anxiety, caregiver burnout, and medical trauma including chronic, terminal illness & other life-changing medical events. I provide counseling in-person in Charlotte, NC and virtually in NC.

I LOVE this work! Being with folks in their vulnerable stories is a deeply held honor. I particularly enjoy working with couples as they seek more safety, intimacy, and authenticity in their relationships. When those experiences intersect with parenting goals and we get to pursue generational cycle-breaking - those are some of my favorite moments in this sacred work.
