My approach to therapy is rooted in trauma-informed and cognitive-behavioral practices, with specialized training in EMDR and perinatal/women's mental health. I use a flexible blend of evidence-based treatment tailored to your personal goals and needs.
I work holistically, meaning that I take into consideration many aspects of your wellbeing. I draw from a range of theories, including: CBT, Psychodynamic, Interpersonal, and Attachment-Based. I seek to provide you with a safe space to share your story.
My Approach
Walk and Talk
Walk and Talk therapy, sometimes referred to as nature therapy, is just what it sounds like! During a walk and talk session we would leave my office and have our session while walking on the greenway or another agreed upon location within the Triangle area.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. There are 8 phases of EMDR, during which we will work together to target past memories that are contributing to your current symptoms. We will use bilateral stimulation (like tapping or eye movements) until the target memory becomes less distressing. EMDR therapy is an effective, evidence-based treatment that helps to resolve traumatic memories, symptoms, and triggers associated with the incident. EMDR can be especially helpful for clients who have tried traditional talk therapy in the past and continue to feel stuck, despite having a good understanding of their past.
Perinatal Mental Health
Navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood can be both beautiful and incredibly challenging. I specialize in perinatal mental health and work alongside clients as they move through anxiety, depression, birth trauma, and the emotional complexities of this season of life. Using EMDR therapy in a gentle, collaborative way, I support your healing at your own pace. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered.
