I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Professional, in the State of North Carolina. I have been treating clients for more than four years now. I work with people of all ages, children, teens and young adults, middle aged adults, and as well as older adults. I have worked with everyone from as young as age two to as old as age 92.
I thoroughly enjoy having a mixed caseload. I work with issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, O.C.D., A.D.H.D., social functioning, non-suicidal self-injury, and spiritual growth and spiritual questioning, as well as many other areas.
I believe in the value of all persons and that problems have psychological, biological, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. I frequently assess for suicide risks, as well as the possibility of harm to others. I have also worked in conjunction with the Department of Child and Family Services on several cases. My work with children has included aiding in the grieving process, navigating divorce, processing trauma, and addressing conflict within the home. My therapeutic approach is eclectic; I employ a combination of spiritually-integrated psychotherapy, sensorimotor, and emotionally-focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques. I also draw from narrative, existential, art, and play therapy approaches.
Health and wholeness come in part by connecting our physical experience (bodies), our cognitions (thoughts), and our emotions. When we divide these we are no longer whole; therefore, I may at times ask you to notice things within your body. Some people find this to be uncomfortable, and if that is the case please let me know so that we can talk through this. There are skills that will be taught, but primarily therapy is about experiencing something new. I aim to offer space for personal, spiritual, emotional and social growth. Therefore, I promise to do my very best to at all times be honest, open, present, willing, and non-judgmental.
I am working to become in network with multiple insurance companies. I will update when I am in network with those providers. I can bill insurance as an out of network provider. I also accept self-pay clients.
