Let’s be real, life can be stressful. Whether it’s coping with present day experiences, unpacking past hurts, or finding different ways to be in the future, therapy can help. As a somatic psychotherapist, I believe in your ability to heal, to be present, & to change. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, adjusting to personal & professional life challenges, & sustaining recovery from substance use. I enjoy working with students, professionals, & those in the healthcare field.
My approach to therapy includes honoring the skills & strengths you already have, while using mind & body approaches to heal. I am a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner & use this body-oriented approach to increase resilience, relieve stress, & heal trauma. I draw on CBT, mindfulness, attachment, & somatic techniques to transform challenges into strengths.
It's a big step to reach out for help & therapy is my passion. I'll walk with you. I am also a Wellness Consultant & former Director of Student Wellness at UNC School of Medicine. I offer virtual therapy sessions, with evening appointments available. Contact me with any questions, I’m happy to connect for a free initial phone consultation.
