I believe all people deserve a place to be heard, not judged; helped, not hurt; and valued, not shamed. I love to sit with someone to hear their story, to value their process, and to help them move closer to their goals. I would love to meet with you and walk with you from this chapter of your story to the next.
I have worked in outpatient therapy settings providing mental health treatment to children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia.
Much of my work focuses on healing from traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, adjustment and grief, using the evidence-based practices. I have completed training in the following methods of therapy:
*Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a listening protocol to re-tune your nervous system
*Cognitive Processing Therapy, CPT Provider Roster at (CPTforPTSD.com)
*EMDR, EMDRIA certified, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (emdria.org)
*TEAM CBT (Level 1 certified)
*Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addressing Weight Loss
*CBT-I Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
*Choice Theory/Reality Therapy Advanced Training
*Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)
*Prepare/Enrich Premarital/Marriage Enrichment Therapy
* Mindfulness and more.
I make every effort to provide highly effective services by collaborating with you to individualize your treatment to meet your specific needs.
Treatment is provided in a Telehealth setting through a secure platform designed specifically for HIPPA compliant therapy services. In the past, I thought I would only provide therapy in person, in my office. However, as an essential worker during the COVID-19 pandemic, the only option to provide treatment was via Telehealth. Through that experience I learned that Telehealth is very effective and provides an opportunity for people to get much-needed therapy even when they cannot come into the office. I make every effort to ensure your Telehealth session is as personal and connected as if you were sitting on my couch and I were just across the room.
I accept most insurances and also offer a self pay option for those who prefer not to use insurance.
