“Instead of thinking outside the box, get rid of the box.” Deepak Chopra
Hi there! Every day is a chance to make a new start and I LOVE working to help people on their journey through life. It’s a great privilege. I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Life Coach and a NC Licensed School Counselor. I have extensive experience working with youth and I like to incorporate Positive Psychology & Humor into my sessions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UNCW and my Masters degree in Counseling at Salem College.
I utilize techniques from Strength-Based & Solution Focused frameworks. These approaches build positive mindsets that emphasize your best qualities, discover your strengths, and improve resilience. I feel strongly that nature can be healing and I offer Nature/Walking Therapy sessions during Spring/Summer. I value relationships and offer Mediation (custody, divorce, etc.); Parental Coaching, Perinatal/Postpartum support, and I have experience with blended families.
I strive to provide a warm and nonjudgmental environment for my clients to express themselves & discover self-understanding. I believe each of us is capable of discovering the solutions to our life challenges, we may just need a little guidance. Our Best Self is possible! I look forward to meeting you.
