About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) working with individual, couples and families for over 28 years in North Carolina. Additionally, I hold a certificate in coaching which allows me to address employment issues, work-life balance needs and life coaching when needed. My practice has allowed me to help and support positive change for many people facing life's most challenging experiences. I work with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, communication and grief and loss on many levels. I believe in a positive and affirming approach to therapy. I am open-minded, warm and fully believe my clients have great value and opportunity for growth, change and improved perspective when taking advantage of what therapy has to offer.

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and solution-focused therapy. I believe through my work, using compassion, education and motivational techniques I can help you improve mood, circumstances and self-awareness for better health and life satisfaction. Providing a safe emotional space for my clients to process their concerns is paramount to me. Understanding what you want and using an interactive, sensitive and caring approach is my goal to supporting you as you reach your goals.

The first steps toward change is understanding the need and seeking support. I am here for you and look forward to having the opportunity to provide you with a supportive therapeutic experience that is empowering and beneficial.

Talking with Holly the last several months has taught me so much about myself. Learning how to set boundaries, and care for my heart and my mental health above all else.

Holly lets me set the priority of the discussion for the session. She also takes notes and also brings up discussion topics from the last meeting to see if this still needs to be discussed. I enjoy research and Holly provides me with other subtopics to look into to go deeper in thought for the next lesson. She is positive, cheerful, encouraging of the steps I have made so far. She is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to our meetings.

Holly has helped listen and guide me through such a transformational part of my life. She is super understanding and thoughtful. I really feel that Holly has my best interest in mind and will pays attention to every detail you tell her. She keeps it super professional while still making the space to talk nonjudgmental and safe. Highly recommend Holly to anybody seeking out a well experienced therapist and life coach.
