Meet your therapist
Rooted in compassion. Guided by evidence.
I am a licensed psychotherapist with specialized training in integrative approaches to emotional and psychological well-being. My work is grounded in the understanding that the mind and heart are not separate — that our thoughts, emotions, bodies, and relationships are deeply interconnected.
I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions ranging from employment changes to separation/divorce, identity questions, work related challenges, parenting, and self worth. I have expertise in working with people in or recovering from abusive relationships, and have a lot of experience with narcissistic abuse in particular. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and deeply respectful of your unique story.
After graduating with my Master's in Counselor Education and a concentration in Community Agency Counseling from North Carolina State University, I have worked with a variety of client populations and issues. My first experience was with combat veterans primarily having served in Vietnam. Next, I worked clients who had significant challenges from being disabled to having severe financial hardship. Since then I have worked in two psychiatric practices over the past seventeen years in Cary, NC. Since the start of covid I have worked with clients from all walks of life across North Carolina. Similarly, I have worked with all stages of life (I don't think it works well to do telehealth with children, so I am not seeing children or teens anymore). I have been doing telehealth part time since the beginning of covid and have only recently started doing telehealth full time.
Therapeutic philosophy
Integration means treating the whole person.
The name of this practice is intentional. True healing requires integrating the mind — our thoughts, beliefs, and patterns — with the heart: our emotions, values, and sense of self. Neither alone is sufficient. Together, they are the foundation of lasting well-being.
Safety first
Every session begins with creating a space where you feel genuinely safe to be yourself — without performance, without judgment.
Collaborative care
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, not to prescribe a path. We work together toward goals that are meaningful to you.
Evidence-informed
I draw on approaches with strong research support — including CBT, ACT, and somatic techniques — while remaining flexible to what actually works for you.
