It takes courage to allow someone to journey with you along this road of healing, and you have taken the first step by being here. During all of my first sessions, I say, "My #1 goal is for you not to hate this," and I mean that. Counseling can feel uncomfortable, awkward, and challenging. But I also want it to feel safe and meaningful, with moments of both tears and laughter as I get to know you, your story, and your hopes for your life. ​ As a former D1 NCAA athlete and coach, I am direct and honest, paired with an abundance of intentionality, empathy, and warmth. We will do the work. And we will also honor your pace and your boundaries with gentleness. I know it's scary, and I'm proud of you for considering this step. It would be an honor to journey alongside you. ​ I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina and a member of the American Counseling Association. I am also an adjunct professor in multiple graduate counseling programs. My counseling work spans across the lifespan with teens, young adults, adults, and high level athletes. I specialize in concerns including, but not limited to, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, athletic performance, chronic pain, and disabilities. I received my bachelor's degree from Davidson College, my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and am currently a PhD Candidate in the Counselor Education and Supervision program at Regent University. I utilize a holistic approach that takes into consideration the physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and relational aspects of who you are. I work within your beliefs, values, and attitudes, and respect the diversity of your experiences and perspectives. I use a depth work framework of Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Experiential Therapy, and Narrative Therapy as my main approaches. However, I also utilize DBT and CBT as clients need. I have previous clinical experience in a hospice agency setting, spiritual institution, private practice, and a Division 1 athletic department. I'm proud of you for showing up for yourself. We can do hard things.
