Let's Connect (919) 336-0668
I desire to be a therapist that provides the space and place for someone to walk into the counseling room and can know that they are seen and heard. I love working with children, teens and adults. I utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques and a variety of other methods to help each person that enters into my office. I know that beginning a therapeutic relationship is not an easy task, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Marriage & Family Therapy, Child & Parent Therapy, and Christian Counseling (Upon Client Request). I have received training in crisis and trauma as well.
I would like to encourage anyone who is considering reaching out to me for therapy to know that they will find someone who is dedicated and determined to help him/her to learn, grow and achieve whatever goals they desire, as well as providing the space for healing and moving forward.
