Therapy Values
I began my career caring for adults. Over the years, I have learned that the sooner we intervene, the better the life outcomes. So, I now also work with children.
The clients that I see tend to want to do well, are eager to excel, and want to be respected and well liked. These clients also tend to have experienced a hiccup that has gotten them off course. They may have had difficulty with peers in school, been passed up for a promotion, experienced a major life event (parenthood, loss of a loved one, marriage, considered their orientation or identity), or experienced a trauma. They may currently take out their difficulties on themselves or others. This might look like arguments, impulsive spending, avoiding, failing classes, spending more time in their room, not taking care of life's needs, low motivation, self injury, thoughts of death, substance use, or apathy. I provide the tools to get them back on track so they can learn to live the lives they want to live.
I see children through adults.

Personal Life
As a mom of two littles, I tend to spend my time running around after them, and also for fun. If you see me out and about, feel free to say "hi".
I am an NC native and enjoy connecting with my immediate and extended family.
I also like to spend my free time learning about new research based interventions within therapy.
Most recently I learned more about trauma informed yoga and how it can help most therapy clients!

Personal Life
When I am not in the office, you may see me around town with my family, walking my dog, running, or spending time with friends and family.
I like to think of myself as a "real" person, and I do a lot of the things others people might do. I love traveling, seeing family, playing board games, watching sports, doing Crossfit, hiking, day dreaming about running another marathon, trying local coffee shops, and starting a new book.
I live in Raleigh with my husband of 13 years, our 10 year old twins, and therapy dog. If you see me in public, you are welcome to stop and say "hi" or act like we've never met, whatever feels right to you!
