Owner, Full Time Therapist, (she/her/hers)

A native North Carolinian, I enjoy visiting the mountains and the beach and enjoying four true seasons. I attended Davidson College for my undergraduate degree, where I met my spouse. I then completed a Master’s degree in Counseling and another Master’s degree in Divinity at Wake Forest University.

When I’m not working, I enjoy gardening, practicing guitar, and walking through our property. I’m also a practitioner of yoga and meditation. My favorite title is mommy to my twin sons, two goldendoodles, and flock of chickens.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina. I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200).

Part time therapist, (he/his/him)

I am originally from New Hampshire, but after moving around a lot early in life, I’ve now adopted North Carolina as my home and have been here now for most of my life. I attended Wake Forest University as an undergraduate and majored in Psychology. I then studied Social Psychology at the University of Delaware before returning to NC to pursue a career in the public behavioral health system in a variety of organizations and roles spanning nearly two decades. I have been in the role of Assistant Director of Wellbeing at Wake Forest University since 2016 and recently returned to school to earn my master's degree in social work (MSW) from UNC Chapel Hill with a specialization in mental health and addictions.

As a clinician, I see myself as your partner. My primary role is to help to create an environment of trust, compassion, acceptance, and empowerment in which you can explore ways in which you might want to change your situation. Often, people who are struggling are doing the best they can in their circumstances and a supportive, therapeutic setting can help them to see their situation from a different angle. I work with clients of any identity who may be experiencing any of a variety of concerns. I am particularly interested in substance use, process addictions, anxiety, trauma, and eating and body image concerns.

Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor adventures, music, being handy, and spending time with my amazing family. I have a real superstar of a partner, four spectacular kiddos, and a veritable menagerie of furry and feathered pets.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate (LCASA) in NC. I am a trainer in Motivational interviewing and a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers.

Full Time Therapist, (she/her/hers)

I am a Winston-Salem native who left to finish high school in Durham (GO Unicorns!!), then attended Hampshire College in Amherst, MA where I completed an individualized BA in studio arts and philosophy. After living in several major cities along the eastern seaboard and working in a variety of settings and roles, I returned to Winston and completed a Master’s in Social Work at UNC-Chapel Hill. While I am not traveling as much as before, I still enjoy exploring the trails and waterways with my daughter, being outside with our assortment of wild and domestic critters, and remain curious by nature- reading, watching, discovering, and making things.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment within which my clients may feel safe to be and express themselves, to explore and consider options, and to discover ways to redefine and/or realign with their inner values and strengths. My education and experience have focused on healing from trauma and/or abuse including interpersonal violence, assault, abuse, secondary trauma/burnout, and experiences of depression and anxiety including OCD. I also enjoy working with people experiencing eating disorders, major life transitions including adjustments to college, parenting, retirement, and/or career changes. I find my experiences within the creative arts and sciences provides me great flexibility in assisting each individual client in finding the right path to progress towards their goals. Approaches I frequently use include EMDR, somatic exercises, mindfulness, CBT/DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, internal family systems, and creative arts.
