About

I am a mental health therapist, licensed in North Carolina and Virginia clinical social worker, with over 25 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I am also a Certified Resilience Educator. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced childhood adversity, substance abuse, domestic violence, physical trauma or emotional abuse.
It is essential to my counseling style to honor your interests and strengths. Humor is welcome. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
