About My Clients
My work is especially supportive for individuals healing from codependency, generational trauma, and Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA) patterns, as well as high-achieving adults (especially late-diagnosed neurodivergent ones) who are tired of performing wellness but long to feel genuinely free.
My Background and Approach
I am a nationally Board-Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS) in North Carolina, and an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC) in South Carolina. I also serve as a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS) in both North Carolina and South Carolina. In addition, I am a Certified Sound Healer and Certified MARI Practitioner, with advanced training in experiential and complementary therapeutic modalities, including EMDR therapy for trauma. I am also attuned to Level II in Holy Fire Reiki. With over 15 years of experience in addiction treatment, trauma therapy, and experiential mental health care, I have worked across a variety of clinical settings supporting individuals in recovery. I received my master’s degree in Music Therapy from Radford University in 2011 and my undergraduate degree in Music Performance from Elon University in 2008. I joined The Healing Collective in 2022.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My own anxiety and codependent patterns began early, shaped by generational dysfunction within my family of origin. I know what it feels like to feel invisible and overwhelmed — even in a room full of people. I have sat in the therapy chair as a client. My early attempts at healing were sincere, but surface-level. It wasn’t until I became a wife and mother — when old patterns resurfaced in new ways — that I began the deeper, more honest work of trauma recovery. That journey includes being an active participant in my ACoA (Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families) program and committing to sustained personal growth. I do not sit across from you as someone who has it all figured out. I sit with you as someone who understands that healing is layered, cyclical, and courageous.
