About me

Hi, I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the mental health field for the last 38 years. The first part of my career was in in Virginia working as an emergency mental health therapist in a community mental health clinic. I moved to North Carolina 30 years ago. For 16 years I worked as a mental health therapist in an inpatient psychiatric hospital. Then I went to work for the military as a mental health therapist working with the Marines and Navy servicemembers for the last 14 years.

I also had a part time private practice for 23 years where I primarily worked with couples who were working on their relationship. I did not have much opportunity in my full time job to work with couples which is my passion. I was able to meet with couples in the evening to help them resolve their conflicts and develop positive coping skills as a couple.

I am semi-retired and living in Florida now. I love being close to family and the beach.

I love working with people to help them achieve their goals. My style is to help you develop the goals you want to change and give you the tools to achieve that goal. It is my privilege and honor to help those who are seeking help for themselves. I see my self as an integrative therapist who utilizes many tools to help my clients.


I check my messages several times a day seven days a week and will get back to you within 24 hours or less.

Peggy is very knowledgeable. She is great at asking open ended questions to collect information and listens actively while you are speaking.

Peggy is very helpful. I experience a lot of stress and anxiety revolving around my relationship with my partner, my family as well as my own personal issues. I feel like she genuinely listens and offers great insight. I can count on her to tell me the truth and I never feel like she’s relying on telling me what I want to hear.

I would high recommend Peggy to anyone! She is a great listener and gives valuable feedbacks. I think her approach of defining my goals for therapy perfectly suited me and she was able to help me achieve them within a month.

Peggy is a skilled, kind, attuned therapist. I have been seeing her weekly for several months now, and our sessions very much enhance my life.

I am in the beginning stages of getting to know Peggy, however; she seems genuine and she seems to want to give advice to help in growth and self improvement. She is very prompt for our sessions. She is easy to communicate with and she asks questions that would indicate she cares about people a lot. I have only spoken to her over the phone once, and had one video session, along with messaging back and forth, and I am very apprehensive by nature, but she feels genuine and trustworthy. I highly recommend her for anyone. I am so grateful to have her as a therapist to take the next step in my healing journey.
