I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I use the evidence-based therapeutic approach that best meets your needs so you can begin to feel more peace in your life. Together, we can learn how to stop unwanted behavior/patterns, address thoughts or emotions that can be hard for you to cope with, communicate more successfully and set healthy boundaries. We can work to increase enjoyment in life and explore your goals and challenges. My focus is to make therapy a warm, personalized and safe place to explore and grow in a meaningful way.

I incorporate Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, Motivational Interviewing, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model, Emotional Regulation Techniques, Mindfulness and Psychoeducation into my practice.

I have a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Art Education, both from Rhode Island College in Providence, RI.

I have been working in Behavioral Health for 20+ years and truly love what I get to do each day. I am a New Englander who has loved living in the Carolinas since 2017. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, long road trips, the beach and spoiling my pets! I love making art and want to learn more about gardening.
