About My Clients
My career spans over twenty years working in mental health, addiction, and disability services. Helping clients who are LGBTQIAP2S+, neurodiverse, and recovering from religious trauma is my passion. I show up in sessions as therapist and a real person, approaching our work together with warmth, compassion, honesty, and a little humor. I work with individuals (ages 18+), couples, and polycules across the state of NC via in-person and telehealth appointments.
My Background and Approach
Has life felt heavier or more stressful lately? You’re not alone. Many people reach out to me feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress, big world events, or the sense that things keep changing without much warning. It can feel like there’s no escape from stress, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Therapy can be a place to slow down, take a breath, and talk things through with someone who’s really listening. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your full, uncensored self—say the hard things, the messy things, even the things you’re not sure how to put into words—and still feel accepted, heard, and supported. I am an experienced, EMDRIA-trained trauma therapist and provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in person and via telehealth.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Simply being yourself in the world can bring challenges all its own. I am body/sex-positive and an advocate for social justice. I offer an affirming space for clients who are LGBTQIAP2S+, autistic, ADHD, part of the neurodiverse community, caregivers, healing from religious trauma, living with chronic/terminal health conditions, grieving, or feeling misunderstood by loved ones. I use a variety of research-based therapy approaches, tailored to meet your specific needs. My style is collaborative, supportive, and gently honest. You’re the expert on your life—I’m here to help you build on your strengths, learn practical tools, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels doable for you. Let’s navigate this together.
