Compassionate, Experienced Care for Life's Challenges

Seeking support is a significant step and finding the right therapist matters. I provide a warm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to help individuals navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.

With more than two decades of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of personal, emotional, and professional concerns. I tailor treatment to each client's unique needs, strengths, and goals.

Women's Issues

Women often face unique challenges throughout different stages of life. Whether you are navigating career demands, relationship concerns, parenting, caregiving responsibilities, infertility, pregnancy and postpartum adjustments, divorce, empty nesting, menopause, or major life transitions, therapy can provide support and guidance.

I help women:

  • Manage stress and overwhelm

  • Improve self-esteem and confidence

  • Navigate life transitions

  • Establish healthy boundaries

  • Strengthen relationships

  • Balance personal, family, and professional responsibilities

  • Rediscover purpose and fulfillment

Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety can affect every aspect of daily life, from relationships and work performance to physical health and overall well-being. Together, we will identify patterns that contribute to anxiety and develop practical tools to help you regain a sense of calm and control.

Common concerns include:

  • Generalized anxiety

  • Excessive worry

  • Panic attacks

  • Social anxiety

  • Stress management

  • Perfectionism

  • Burnout

Depression Treatment

Depression can leave you feeling disconnected, exhausted, hopeless, or stuck. Therapy can help you understand the factors contributing to your symptoms while developing strategies to improve mood, increase motivation, and reconnect with the things that matter most.

Treatment focuses on:

  • Improving emotional well-being

  • Building coping skills

  • Increasing engagement in meaningful activities

  • Strengthening support systems

  • Identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns

Military Members, Veterans, and Military Families

Military life presents unique challenges that can impact service members and their families. Frequent relocations, deployments, family separations, career transitions, and the demands of military culture can create significant stress.

I provide support for:

  • Active-duty military personnel

  • Veterans

  • Military spouses and partners

  • Military children and families

  • Transition to civilian life

  • Deployment and reintegration challenges

  • Relationship and family concerns

As someone who understands the unique pressures associated with military life, I strive to provide a supportive environment where clients can address challenges while building resilience and stability.

Career Counseling and Professional Development

Career satisfaction plays a significant role in overall well-being. Whether you are considering a career change, experiencing workplace stress, navigating leadership responsibilities, or seeking greater professional fulfillment, counseling can help clarify your goals and identify a path forward.

Career counseling may address:

  • Career transitions

  • Burnout and workplace stress

  • Leadership development

  • Professional confidence

  • Work-life balance

  • Career decision-making

  • Job-related anxiety

Grief and Loss Counseling

Grief can affect every aspect of life, often in ways that others may not fully understand. While grief is commonly associated with the death of a loved one, it can also result from divorce, illness, caregiving responsibilities, loss of a career, military transitions, changes in identity, or other significant life changes.

There is no "right" way to grieve, and there is no timeline for healing. Counseling provides a supportive space to process emotions, navigate difficult transitions, and find ways to move forward while honoring what has been lost.

I help clients navigate:

  • Loss of a spouse, partner, parent, child, family member, or friend

  • Anticipatory grief related to serious illness

  • Caregiver stress and loss

  • Divorce and relationship loss

  • Life transitions and identity changes

  • Complicated grief

  • Adjustment to major life changes

Together, we will work toward understanding your grief experience, developing healthy coping strategies, and finding a path forward that feels meaningful and authentic.

Career Counseling and Professional Development

Career satisfaction plays a significant role in overall well-being. Whether you are considering a career change, experiencing workplace stress, navigating leadership responsibilities, or seeking greater professional fulfillment, counseling can help clarify your goals and identify a path forward.

Career counseling may address:

  • Career transitions

  • Burnout and workplace stress

  • Leadership development

  • Professional confidence

  • Work-life balance

  • Career decision-making

  • Job-related anxiety

Psychological Evaluations

ADHD
Evaluations

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect academic performance, workplace success, relationships, organization, and daily functioning. Many adults reach adulthood without ever receiving a formal diagnosis, while others seek clarification regarding long-standing attention and executive functioning concerns.

Comprehensive ADHD evaluations include:

  • Clinical interviews

  • Review of relevant history

  • Standardized assessment measures

  • Diagnostic clarification

  • Personalized recommendations

Evaluations are designed to provide a thorough understanding of symptoms and help guide treatment, accommodations, and future planning.

Bariatric Surgery Psychological Evaluations

Preparing for bariatric surgery involves more than physical readiness. Psychological evaluations are often required as part of the surgical approval process and help ensure patients are prepared for the significant lifestyle changes associated with surgery.

Evaluations include:

  • Assessment of emotional readiness

  • Review of behavioral and lifestyle factors

  • Identification of strengths and potential barriers

  • Recommendations to support long-term success

I work collaboratively with patients to provide a professional, efficient, and supportive evaluation process.

Clinical Supervision for North Carolina Counselors

I provide clinical supervision for counselors pursuing licensure in North Carolina. My supervision approach emphasizes professional growth, ethical practice, clinical competence, and confidence development.

Supervision services include:

  • Individual supervision

  • Case consultation

  • Professional development

  • Ethics and decision-making support

  • Skill enhancement across a variety of clinical populations

Whether you are beginning your professional journey or seeking guidance with complex clinical cases, supervision provides an opportunity to strengthen your skills and grow as a clinician.
