Professional Qualifications
Having discussed the services I offer, it's time to move on to my professional qualifications. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of North Carolina and have been providing counseling services for over 10 years. My experience includes working with individuals, couples and families from diverse backgrounds in both clinical and community settings.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Duke University, where I also completed additional post-graduate training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). DBT is an evidenced-based treatment which focuses on emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance skills.
I am also certified as a Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. This program helps couples assess their relationship strengths and growth areas while working toward a more satisfying relationship through exercises designed to increase communication and understanding between partners. It is an interactive process that allows couples to take an honest look at their relationship dynamics, identify patterns of interaction that may be problematic, and develop strategies for improvement.
In addition, I have extensive experience providing therapy for those struggling with trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, grief/loss and addiction issues. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect and collaboration as we work together to understand your current situation and develop effective coping strategies tailored to meet your individual needs.
Areas Of Specialization

We are especially passionate about helping those who are facing anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns as a result of a change or challenge in their life. We also have extensive experience in working with individuals struggling with addiction and substance abuse issues.
In addition to our primary focus on mental health issues, we also provide therapeutic support for those looking to build their self-esteem and resilience. We can help you develop the skills necessary to cope with stressors, manage overwhelming emotions, and set healthy boundaries. Through our counseling services, we strive to empower individuals to find balance and peace within themselves so they can pursue their goals and live an authentic life.
We offer a caring environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement or criticism. Our goal is that clients leave each session feeling heard, understood, and supported in creating meaningful changes in their lives.
Approach To Counseling
My approach to counseling is centered on the individual and their needs. I strive to foster an environment of safety and trust, allowing for a meaningful therapeutic connection. I believe that each person is unique in their experiences, strengths, and abilities. Therefore, my approach is tailored to meet the individual's needs.
I work from a variety of modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, trauma-informed psychotherapy, and other strategies. I also focus on building insight into how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. My goal is to help you develop more effective ways of understanding yourself so that you can address the challenges that you face with greater confidence.
Through our collaboration we will create goals that are both realistic and achievable for you. We will then set about working together to create the necessary changes in order to reach those goals. My role in this process is to provide support as well as tools for growth and success. It's my sincere hope that through this process you gain a deeper understanding of yourself while also finding solutions to the issues which brought you into counseling in the first place.

We also understand that each person’s journey is unique and requires personalized care. We will take the time to get to know you on an individual level in order to determine which type of counseling approach would be most effective for you. This could include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, or humanistic psychology.
We strive to create an open and honest dialogue between us so that you can feel comfortable discussing anything that comes up during our sessions. It is important that you feel heard and understood throughout the process, so if at anytime something doesn’t feel right or isn't working for you, please let us know so we can make adjustments as needed.
