WE ARE WIRED FOR STRUGGLE AND FOR CONNECTION
I also work with couples recovering from relationship injury, primarily infidelity.
Additionally, I am honored to help individuals struggling with loss and grief, connection to others, affair resolution and recovery, and the struggle toward authentic happiness and wholehearted living. I have a particular interest in mid-life transitions and men-in-therapy.
I BELIEVE IN RESEARCH-BASED STRATEGIES
I utilize evidenced-based, client-centered strategies and techniques to help clients achieve real, measurable, and lasting change. Using data-driven assesments, we collaborate—together—to design an individual treatment plan to support your goals.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists, as well as a member of the North Carolina Association for Marriage and Family Therapists.
I am a Certified Relational Life Therapy (RLT) Coach and Bootcamp Facilitator, dedicated to helping couples and individuals rebuild connection, restore trust, and create deeply fulfilling relationships.
In addition to my RLT certification, I am Gottman Level 3 trained and a certified facilitator of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. I have received extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT), IFS and Intimacy From the Inside Out and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction — all research-based approaches that inform my work.
It is an honor to walk alongside people as they heal, grow, and rediscover connection — both with others and within themselves.
I am incredibly fortunate to do work that I love
I am a native Charlottean (we do exist!) who married my college sweetheart over 25 years ago. We work hard to maintain a prosperous marriage and to manage our active household of three daughters and one very pampered dog. When not working, I can be found in a yoga class, trying new restaurants, buying books at a local bookstore, listening to live music, or on the sidelines of a field hockey or lacrosse game.
My path to becoming a therapist includes a career in corporate America for nearly a decade; I retired my business suits for a position as a stay-at-home mother.
During this time, I was fortunate to be able to earn a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) from Pfeiffer University, completing this program in 2013. I immediately went into private practice to follow my passion of helping couples and individuals who are working toward their greatest potential. I was also privileged to work with KinderMourn as a grief therapist.
I feel so incredibly fortunate to be able to do work that I love.
