I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I'm licensed in North Carolina (associate licensure 2019-2021, full endorsement 2021) and Virginia (since 2022), and hold an additional license as a Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate in North Carolina (2021). I am also certified in the areas of Complex Trauma, Integrative Mental Health, and ADHD. Currently, pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology, I specialize in integrating various therapeutic approaches to address trauma, relationship issues, and sexual health, and promote holistic well-being.
I focus heavily on body-based therapies, tapping into the connection between mind and body for emotional healing. Trained in EMDR and other modalities like Flash Technique, Somatic Experiencing, and Brain spotting, I utilize these tools to work with individuals with trauma histories. I provide individual therapy and, as needed, relationship therapy (18+ years old) that includes partners to promote positive therapeutic outcomes, emphasizing LGBTQ+ inclusivity and a sex-positive perspective.
As a sex therapist and educator, I specialize in sexual well-being, offering clinical support to help individuals and couples explore and enhance their relationships, desires, and sexual expression. Utilizing approaches like the Gottman Method, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Sex Therapy, I assist clients in navigating communication challenges, vulnerability struggles, trauma, and other barriers.
Please note that the following are areas of concern outside my practice's scope; therefore, I will not treat them and will provide a referral if necessary. Developmental Disorders, Education/Learning Disabilities, Schizophrenia Spectrum and other Psychotic Disorders, Bipolar and Related Disorders, Elimination Disorders, Dissociative Disorders, Sleep-Wake Disorders, Conduct Disorders, and Neurocognitive Disorders. I do not provide sex offender treatment.
