I believe that true healing requires an understanding of the whole person\u2014body, mind, and spirit. My clinical foundation was built during nine years on the level-one trauma service at Duke University Hospital, followed by two years with Duke Population Health providing specialized health and wellness coaching. This unique combination allows me to support clients through both acute life crises and the long-term journey toward optimal well-being.<\/p>

As a therapist, I consider myself a \u201cwounded healer\u201d and a fellow traveler on the road toward healthy living. It is a profound privilege to walk alongside those who desire to live a more wholehearted and authentic life.<\/p>

Areas of Specialization<\/strong><\/h3>

My practice offers a dedicated, non-judgmental space for individuals navigating complex life challenges. I have a particular clinical interest in:<\/p>

  • Anxiety: <\/strong>Untangle the distorted thinking patterns and fears rooted in your past, helping you reclaim a more authentic sense of self.<\/li>
  • Life Transitions: <\/strong>Navigating the uncertainty of major life changes.<\/li>
  • Relationships:<\/strong> Working through conflict, establishing healthy boundaries and expectations.<\/li>
  • Trauma & Grief:<\/strong> Processing profound loss, medical crises, and the long-term impact of traumatic events.<\/li>
  • Helping Professions:<\/strong> Addressing “secondary trauma” and “compassion fatigue” for medical professionals, first responders, teachers, and therapists.<\/li>
  • ADHD:<\/strong> Providing supportive interventions for adults navigating ADHD and its impact on daily life and relationships.<\/li>
  • Addiction Recovery:<\/strong> Offering specialized relapse prevention support for professionals as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS).<\/li><\/ul>

    My Approach<\/strong><\/h3>

    I utilize an eclectic, evidence-based framework incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)<\/b>,\u00a0Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)<\/b>, as well as other therapy modalities. My goal is to help you uncover the links between negative perceptions and long-standing behavior patterns that may be stalling your personal growth.<\/p>

    As a Daring Way\u2122 Trained Facilitator<\/b>, I also integrate the research of Dr. Bren\u00e9 Brown to assist you in moving through shame and transitioning toward a more resilient, authentic self.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
