Integrative Therapists in Lexington, NC

Since 1992, I have had the honor of accompanying countless individuals in their journey towards living more authentic and satisfying lives. I am convinced that everyone possesses the ability to live their life to its fullest potential. As your counselor, my role is to help awaken you to this dormant power within. I believe that we all function based on the beliefs instilled in us at an early age and are reinforced in various ways throughout our lives. It is when we begin to challenge these "truths" that we experience a great awakening and discover our true self.

Currently scheduling Autism/ADHD assessments only! Waitlist for ongoing therapy. I am a neurodiversity affirming, trauma informed, EMDR and ERP trained therapist. I work with clients to heal from past experiences, live authentically, and feel more connected to themselves. I meet each client exactly where they are, using resilience-based and social justice informed approaches. I offer personalized therapy to meet your individual needs and work toward your goals. I prioritize providing you with a safe and affirming space for healing and exploration. I offer online therapy to individuals residing anywhere in North Carolina.

Clients of mine experience a warm, open, and friendly relationship. Each person is unique with strengths that we can build on. Whether you have lost yourself, never really knew who you were, or are dealing with a sudden life change, we can learn ways to do more than just survive the "speed bumps" of life. No issue is too small or heavy to address. I hope that my clients refuse to settle for less than a whole life. Making life changes often requires patience, commitment to yourself, and action. Together, we can tackle the wounds of yesterday and the fears of tomorrow.

Passion and empathy combine to allow me to help many incredible people affirm their strengths and overcome obstacles. Developing a genuine rapport with the clients served is also essential to their success. A firm believer that we are all capable of amazing feats, I feel strongly that, at times, we just need help to gain clarity. Along with educational and practical experience, the realization that each client has an individual perspective and distinct set of circumstances enables the facilitation of many concerns ranging from everyday life stressors, to depression, anxiety, and many other mental health and behavioral concerns.

You may feel like something is missing or unfulfilled in your relationships or career. Fatigue and feelings of burnout become a daily struggle. Maybe your mind is racing and you worry all the time. You feel alone and wonder why you have difficulty connecting with others. How you think about your challenges, self, and others has a direct impact on how well you are coping and healing.

As a therapist and life coach, my goal is to help you feel both empowered and at peace with yourself and your life and to guide you on a positive path to growth and well-being. Through our work together, I seek to help you uncover your true self, find your voice, & align your values & life choices. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Simultaneously I will introduce you to tools and strategies that may help you better navigate the stress and anxiety of life and hopefully enable you to experience greater peace, joy, and well being. 

Have you been feeling stuck or uninspired? Unsure of where you “should” be in life? Are you struggling with navigating your relationships, making long term personal and professional decisions, or experiencing a life transition? You may be experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, and increased levels of stress around what the future may hold for you. It can become draining and overwhelming to carry, but you don’t have to face those challenges alone. Let’s normalize not having everything all figured out.

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars" (Khalil Gibran). While suffering is part of life, and moving on always a possibility, figuring out how to reorganize the pieces of our puzzle after trauma has occurred can be a daunting task. Too often, we allow our past experiences and our scars to define who we are, and we get stuck in a dark place, incapable of taking that first step. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to walk that path with you.

Accepting New Clients! Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! Whether you stumbled across this page in search of support for yourself or someone you love, you and all your questions and concerns are welcome here. I enjoy partnering with young people to discover their unique selves in the moment, what they have endured in the past, and who they might become in the future. To achieve this, I take a relational, integrative, and modern client-centered approach to therapy that opens doors for communication. We may color together one session and write for another.
