12 years offering treatment

With 12+ yrs. as a licensed therapist and 15+ yrs. working in the human services field, I have assisted many individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I have extensive experience working in a variety of settings. Settings have included private practice, non-profit organizations, in-home therapy, therapeutic group homes, and juvenile & adult detention centers. In each setting, I’ve assisted clients through life’s positions that are not planned on being in, and yet find ourselves in. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness in which a healthy mind, body, and soul lead to a happier, more fulfilling life. I look to strengthen the core of each individual and couple to be able to strive, not just survive, through difficult moments. I provide tools and resources for short-term and long-term growth. The hardest and yet one of the more alleviating steps a client can take is the first step to reach out. As a partner in the therapeutic process, I meet each session with support and commitment.

I am licensed in North Carolina and South Dakota, with over three years of experience working as a clinical mental health therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, such as anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, self-esteem and body image, life changes, stress management, difficulty with relationships, self-harm, suicidal ideation, boundary setting, and disruptive, impulse-control, conduct disorders, and more. My therapy style is warm, open-minded, client-centered, and collaborative. I believe therapy is most effective when it's a shared journey—we will work together to identify solutions that align with your values and goals. If one path doesn’t feel right, we’ll continue exploring until we find what does. I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I will, of course, tailor our sessions and your treatment plan to best meet your unique needs. Creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space is a top priority for me. I strive to ensure that every client feels heard, respected, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey. It takes courage to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey! I look forward to working with you!
