My approach to therapy is collaborative because I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for growth and healing. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel supported and empowered to explore your experiences at your own pace.

I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which allow me to help clients build healthier coping strategies, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and move toward a life aligned with their values. I also place a special focus on supporting clients who are navigating grief and loss, recognizing that these experiences are deeply personal and often require both compassion and practical tools for healing.

Together, we will work to build trust, strengthen resilience, and uncover ways to reduce distress while finding meaning in your journey.

• Experience

  
  My clinical experience spans from working in a community-based mental health and substance use agency in Eastern North Carolina to providing care in private practice here in Raleigh. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults, offering support across a variety of concerns.

  I integrate evidence-based approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and person-centered therapy, along with advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This combination allows me to tailor treatment to each client’s needs while balancing practical skills with deeper process-based work.

  I have experience supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders, addiction, and challenges with emotion regulation. My goal is to help clients build greater resilience, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change in their daily lives.
