About My Clients
Sometimes we can feel as if on a mountaintop with a sense of clarity and other times in a valley unable to see the next step. Creating change is an active choice and one that is empowering and takes courage to implement. At times we need help, especially when life gets complex and problems occur. I can relate to life's complexity and extend empathy in your process. My goal is to walk alongside you and provide tools with the mindset that you are the expert of your own life.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Board-Certified Music Therapist in North Carolina. I attended Appalachian State University and received two Master’s Degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and Music Therapy along with Graduate Certificates in Addictions Counseling and Systemic Multicultural Counseling. My experience includes marriage counseling, grief counseling, addictions counseling, and family systems counseling. Most recently I have worked with adolescents with emotional and behavioral issues stemming from a wide variety of diagnoses including trauma, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, borderline personality disorder, depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders. Recently I completed level one of the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy and I am currently in level two. My passion is to help clients reach their goals and become empowered by choice. I continuously strive to be a person-centered therapist where my clients are heard, valued, and cared for.
