“I offer a healthy dose of compassionate snark with a cognitive lens. I am one of a handful of Quality-Rated providers of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) in Guilford County, NC and can use this structured format as well as traditional talk therapy. I am also an accredited FACET5 practitioner and can use this psychological assessment to tailor treatment goals.”

“My approach is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and other attachment-based practices, honoring the healing power of emotions and relationships. At its core, these theories believe that we are innately wired for connection as humans, but sometimes have difficulty understanding how this need shows up and how to reach for close others. Therapy with me will be non-pathologizing, empathic, client-centered (meaning I let clients take the lead and believe you are the expert in your own life). I start from the assumption that all behavior makes sense given previous wounds and that we tend to protect ourselves against the fear of not being accepted. My approach is systemic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive - I believe people learn how to handle their emotions based on culture, world view, and environment, which can ultimately impact their connection with others.”

“My focus treatment modalities are mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, Sandtray therapy, Reiki, and walk-and-talk therapy, all rooted in Existential theoretical approach. During our first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and set a plan of how you want to proceed. This may include one or a combination of the types of therapy that I offer. We will tailor our time to suit your needs.”

“I am trained in EMDR and Attachment-Focused-EMDR disciplines in treating trauma-related issues by assisting individuals to overcome distress, trauma, anxiety, or PTSD/CPTSD symptoms. I'm also trained in Biofeedback, Ego State/Dissociation (Parts Work), the Flash Technique, and Intergenerational Trauma to help clients discover relief.”

“I’m not here to nod and say “how does that make you feel?” on repeat. I’m integrative and evidence-based, pulling from approaches that actually work (trauma-focused CBT, DBT skills, ACT, and positive psychology) and tailoring them to you—no rigid manuals, no one-size-fits-all. I’m direct and collaborative: I’ll tell you what I’m seeing, we’ll check if it resonates, and we’ll decide together what to do next. I use plain language, not therapy jargon, and I’ll explain what we’re doing and why it works—because I follow the research, not trends. I bring humor when appropriate (never at your expense), and I’m neuro-affirming: your brain isn’t broken, it’s wired differently. Most importantly, you don’t have to perform wellness here. Show up as you are.”

“I graduated summa cum laude from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill with a Bachelors in Psychology, Masters in Counseling and 2 year post-Masters specialization in Sex Therapy from University of Michigan. I am an AASECT certified sex therapist with additional training in IFS, Gottman, polyamory, and ENM. I have completed more than 100 trainings covering affairs, non-monogamy, couples communication, sexual functioning, and desire, and incorporate EFT, Gottman, Imago, and the work of Esther Perel, Emily Nagoski, and other leaders in the field.”

“Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, I help couples and families slow down, communicate more effectively during conflict, and reconnect when they feel distant or misunderstood. Together, we’ll shift the patterns that keep you stuck in the same painful cycles, so that new moments of connection and understanding can emerge.”

“I believe that every behavior makes sense when we understand the story behind it. Rather than focusing on fixing you or your child, we work together to understand what you need to feel safer, more connected, and more regulated. Sessions with me are collaborative, compassionate, and practical. You will find a space where you can be honest about the parts of parenting that feel hard, without fear of judgment, and with a ton of understanding. Together, we will make sense of patterns, celebrate what is already working, and develop strategies that fit your family's unique needs instead of relying on one-size-fits-all advice. My work draws from approaches such as Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy , Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, EMDR, and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE). While these approaches guide my work, our sessions are never about learning therapy jargon, and always about supporting you to better understand yourself, your child, and the relationship you are building together.”

“Rapport between client and therapist is the most important factor in therapeutic success. I emphasize getting to know each client in a deep, trusting, and authentic way. Upon building a strong relationship, we will explore evidence-based treatment modalities to facilitate healing and growth.”

“In my therapy approach, I lean on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework as a steady foundation, weaving in the wisdom of Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic awareness, gentle mindfulness practices, and EMDR for trauma processing. In my couples and relationship work, I draw from the Gottman Method to foster understanding and trust.”

“My approach integrates DBT, parts work, somatic therapy, and EMDR. We build concrete regulation skills while addressing the deeper patterns that keep cycles in place. When you are ready, you can schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit together!”

“I provide short-term (intensive) therapy and coaching grounded in the neurobiology of stress, trauma, and relationships. As a true specialist, I keep my practice small and focused to provide the best possible care for my clients' emotional and relational wellness. I work intensively with individuals and couples to provide concentrated, personalized support for long-lasting change. I believe you deserve expert support from someone who truly cares. I also believe it shouldn’t take years in therapy to get your life & relationship where you’d like it to be.
