Hello! I have been in the mental health field since 2013, supporting individuals, children, teens and families navigate life’s challenges. I received my Master’s degree in Counseling and Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Nevada, Reno. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in North Carolina.
I started as a therapist in community mental health agencies in Nevada and California. I have also been a school counselor. My experience includes working with people from diverse backgrounds on a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, behavior issues, relationship difficulties, parenting and life transitions.
My approach to therapy is from a family systems perspective, while utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy models. I am trauma informed and Certified in Trauma Focused Behavioral Therapy. I am strengths based and will tailor my approach to help you reach your therapeutic goals. In my work with children, I utilize play therapy techniques and encourage parental involvement from a systems perspective.
I believe every person has the ability to make changes and improve their well being through a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship. In our work together, I will strive to provide an accepting space for you to feel empowered to discover your strengths, build resilience, improve your relationships and create lasting change.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like to ask questions or work together on your goals. I look forward to hearing from you!
