Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with over 13 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and find healing. My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning I draw from a variety of traditional and holistic techniques to meet the unique needs of each client. I believe that healing happens when we address the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — and I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences, gain self-awareness, and foster personal growth.
I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem challenges, relationship issues, life transitions, and family stress. I also have extensive experience working with clients struggling with disordered eating and body image issues, drawing from my background in yoga, mindfulness, and holistic nutrition to support healing and self-acceptance. I previously led yoga classes in an intensive outpatient recovery program for eating disorders, which deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection in recovery.
I have extensive training in trauma recovery, high-conflict divorce, and navigating the challenges of separation, divorce, and blended families. Additionally, I am passionate about supporting clients recovering from narcissistic abuse and other abusive relationships.
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), I integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches with experiential and holistic modalities such as mindfulness, yoga therapy, somatic approaches, expressive arts, and Reiki healing. I am also a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), allowing me to address the connection between mental health and physical wellness, including the role of nutrition and mind-body balance in overall healing.
In addition to individual and couples counseling, I also lead workshops, groups, and classes focused on stress reduction, mindfulness, yoga, and energy healing for adults and teens in my practice in NC. My background as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and Reiki Master Teacher (RMT) informs much of my work, offering clients practical tools for grounding, healing, and reconnecting with themselves. I am also trained in equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAGALA model) and have experience working with active-duty military and veterans healing from trauma and PTSD.
I believe that every individual has an innate capacity for resilience and healing. It takes courage to seek support, and I am honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward clarity, self-discovery, and well-being. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, healing from past trauma, working through disordered eating or body image challenges, or simply seeking greater balance and fulfillment, I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.

Many people ask whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is the flexibility it offers. Clients can choose the format that fits their life best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to attend sessions without rearranging a busy schedule.
All therapists in these services are licensed professionals, and if someone decides the fit is not right, it is possible to switch therapists at any time. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible option for many people seeking support with everyday mental health concerns.
