About

I am a licensed therapist in North Carolina. I use a client-centered approach, meaning that the client sets the focus and pacing of our sessions. I am specifically trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I describe CBT as helping clients incrementally change their behavior. My clients have previously described this approach as empathetic and respectful.

The foundation of the client / counselor relationship is unconditional positive regard. This concept means that every client deserves compassion and understanding. Anything that is told to me during a session is privileged communication – it is protected by the law, and I am ethically bound not to share this information. I take this aspect of my practice very seriously.

My MA is in Clinical Mental Health from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I completed my MBA from Queens University and have an undergraduate degree from Mount Holyoke College. When I am not working as a therapist, I enjoy spending time with animals. My sessions sometimes include snoring dogs in the background.
