My goal is to help others recognize and embrace their inner strengths. I believe that this is the key to wellness and healing. We just have to learn to trust ourselves and grow from within. I operate a 100% strength-based practice that is designed to help you find your inner champion. I will help you learn to deal with whatever life throws at your way, leaving you with the tools that you need to overcome future obstacles. I believe that counseling is a teaching practice, where you can learn strategies to promote your own wellness and healing. It’s an investment in current and future self. I have special expertise in treating symptoms of anxiety, providing you with a wealth of cognitive behavioral coping skills. I use a variety of techniques in my practice to meet your individual needs. I also provide counseling services related to OCD, panic, depression, grief, relationship concerns, gender identity, sexuality, self-esteem, body image, family issues, codependency, and trauma processing. I received my undergraduate education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have a Masters in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I also have Masters in Conflict Management and Resolution from UNCW. This has allowed me to further deepen and hone my counseling skills.

Devoted to not only assist you in embarking on a journey of self-discovery, but also, ways in which you can best utilize the gifts that you possess! I am an ambitious, strength based counselor yearning to change the ways that we view mental health. I graduated from Lenoir Rhyne University where I obtained a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. My professional credentials include Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon, Qualified Supervisor (QS), Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), and Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS) in the state of North Carolina. My expertise stems in the treatment and management of co-occurring disorders, of which include experience in working with low motivation/self-esteem, life adjustments, trauma-related difficulties, anxiety/depression, substance use difficulties, as well as aspects of various mood and personality disorders (borderline, narcissistic, etc)! Although I consider myself to have knowledge in several treatment interventions, I utilize a combination of strength based and behavioral interventions, of which include Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy with Choice Theory, as well as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (CBT/DBT). My approaches to counseling are grounded in holistic wellness and choice theory. Holistic approaches include inquiry about different aspects that make up your life and that you believe contribute to making you well or less well. These areas are integrative health approaches that focus on mental, body, spiritual, emotional, and connection wellness. I also harness skills to allow for further assessment and inquiry surrounding informed food choices, potential food allergies, as well as supplementation to aid with mental health improvements. Choice theory is an approach that focuses on our motivation to pursue a never-ending quest to satisfy 5 basic needs woven into our genes: to love and belong, to be powerful, to be free, to have fun and to survive. I encourage all individuals to lean into the collaborative process between therapist and client to find solutions to better your mental health. This therapy pursuit also facilitates a process of taking responsibility for the perceptions and responsibilities of choices in your life. I adopt philosophies that adopt a bio-psycho-social lens to most assist individuals in taking ownership of their lives once again.

Thanks for checking out my profile, finding the 'right fit' of a therapist is important so this is a little about me. I reside in North Carolina and am licensed to practice in both North Carolina and Minnesota. I have 22 years of clinical experience, yet I continue to learn and grow in my profession so that I can show up fully for those I get to serve. I have experience in helping clients successfully manage stress, anxiety, coping with life transitions and burnout. I am both a therapist and a registered nurse and can offer support to those facing illness or end of life, caregiving stress and burnout. My therapeutic approach includes brief solution focused interventions (figuring out solutions and focusing on the future instead of the past), cognitive behavioral interventions (identifying patterns in our mindset that impact our life), motivational interviewing (helping you identify what you really want to work on) and incorporating mindfulness and meditation. I view my role as being a guide and resource to help you tap into your own strengths to overcome challenges. I believe in helping people learn and practice skills that will help now and that can be used in the future on your own. Together we'll decide on what you want to work on and create goals and evaluate progress as we go. If something isn't working we can try a different approach. If you just don't feel like we 'click' that is OK, I'll help you get connected with another therapist here. You've taken a big first step in deciding to invest in yourself and what is most important is that you get the support that you need.
