My approaches include Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, Prepare / Enrich for premarital, and EMDR for individual trauma.
Everyone who cares deserves to be happy. Life is also full of ups and downs. This is especially true when it comes to relationships. Sometimes, we push through the struggles and eventually feel some relief. But other times we can feel stuck, repeating patterns or habits that get us nowhere or keep us in a rut. Anger or distancing from one another often replaces the love and closeness we want and deserve in our relationships. If you want to be happy again, or just be a better you, I am here for you.

Hello! I’ve worked as a licensed counselor since 2017, with previous experience as a social worker. My focus is working with adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depressive symptoms, relational difficulties, family issues, substance use, and severe mental illnesses. My theoretical orientation is an integration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Behavioral Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness. I have learned that no two people are the same and that everyone must be treated individually and holistically.

Life happens to all of us, unfortunately, what to do when it does is a question that stumps many of us. Sometimes it's an unexpected phone call or experience that alters the trajectory of life, leaving us gripped by defeat, anxiety, and despair. Other times, it's the pain of past wounds (or sometimes present)/trauma caused by someone who was supposed to love and protect us that weighs on us like a ton of bricks, stifling our ability to move forward. At LCG of NC, we hear you, feel you, and we believe that with the right support, you can achieve, overcome, improve, defy, and ultimately win in life.

Adjusting to change can be challenging, especially when transitioning through different phases of life. Whether it's a child coping with behavioral concerns, a teenager exploring their identity, or an adult facing the complexities of life, such as finding a safe space is crucial for personal growth. Embracing discomfort is key to growth, so if you're prepared to evolve, let's embrace the discomfort together. "Life is not what it is supposed to be, it is what it is; it's how we navigate it that makes a difference."
