For many people, psychotherapy is a powerful resource for growth. Our emotions can be complicated and may feel confusing or even overwhelming when trying to tackle them alone. I am a virtual therapist providing online therapy from the comfort of your own home, serving clients in Virginia and North Carolina. I create a safe, non-pathologizing, trusting environment for you to examine the feelings you tend to hide away from others (and often even from yourself). Together, we can explore and learn from the conflicts that keep you stuck in order to create lasting, positive change in your life.

Not your traditional therapy... With nearly 20 years of counseling experience, I use state-of-the-art, evidence-based mental health treatments, such as EMDR and CBT, to help clients make changes to become happier and healthier. Evidenced based therapies, combined with genuine compassion and care, allow clients to get better quicker and with fewer therapy sessions. I have training in multiple evidenced based therapies that I use to treat adults who are experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties, with a focus on treating trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Welcome! Finding the right fit in a therapist is one of the most challenging and important first steps. You need someone who can support you and give a protected space to heal and grow. My approach is to work holistically building strength to be brave toward what is our genuine and healthy self.

Do you feel like your past experiences are negatively affecting your present? Or often think you are "not good enough"? This negative belief can stem from hurtful messages from our family, peers, authority figures, and others. It may be difficult to imagine thinking differently. We can work together to help you emotionally process painful experiences and put them into a more self-compassionate perspective, develop your confidence and coping skills, increase feelings of peace and calm, and create more space in your life for what is most meaningful to you. It is possible to find relief with therapeutic support.

Whether you suffer from depression or anxiety, or are having trouble finding your way through a difficult situation, I can help you find new -- and more effective -- ways of coping. Using a non-judgmental approach, along with proven therapeutic techniques, I can provide a safe place for you to explore new ways of thinking and responding to challenges in your life. I have experience in crisis response from working in the Duke Hospital emergency department, as well as substance abuse training from working at RJ Blackley Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment center.

Here you are, in the frustrating position of scrolling through therapists online. You do not want to book an intake and tell someone your whole life story only to realize a few sessions in that they are just nodding, not saying much and you don't click. So, are we going to talk about feelings? Sure. And, I believe in a no bullshit approach to therapy. I will hold you accountable to create the change you want to see in your life. I bring body scans, breathing exercises, movement, silence, listening and laughter to every session. Because if we aren't laughing, we're crying.

First, let me acknowledge the courage it takes to reach out. I look forward to talking with you to find out more about what led you to seek counseling and to determine if we're a good fit. My theoretical orientation is primarily person-centered, which means that I believe that given a nonjudgmental, accepting space to explore issues, individuals can move towards growth and change. In addition to a person-centered approach, I frequently incorporate mindfulness into sessions, as well as techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. For clients interested in a more somatic approach, I use EMDR and EFT Tapping.

Accepting New Clients - I believe life brings varying degrees of struggle and pain, and we can all benefit from help to move through it. I also recognize the bravery it takes to reach out for help, and my goal is to establish an environment where individuals feel comfortable not only reaching out but also in the journey that follows. In my work with adults (18+), I employ client-centered and collaborative methods, meeting individuals where they are and creating a supportive atmosphere to explore their concerns.

If you are struggling, know there is no need to go it alone. Everyone may think you are as put together as a jigsaw puzzle, but you feel like you are falling apart behind the scenes, stress is causing you headaches and other pains, or you are having difficulty coping. I want to partner with you to make it better. I work incredibly well with clients who desire to use their faith in their healing process.

I believe that everyone has unlocked potential inside of them. Substance addiction, anxiety, trauma, anger, codependency and fear keep us from achieving our goals and being the best version of ourselves. I strive to help clients see all the amazing qualities they hold within themselves and overcome those obstacles that prevent them from reaching their full potential in all areas of their lives.
