EDUCATION & TRAINING:
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, a National Certified Counselor, and
a member of the American Counseling Association. I am also a Licensed Qualified
Supervisor. I earned a Master of Counselor Education, Mental Health track, at North
Carolina Central University in August of 2013. I also hold a Master of Divinity (2006)
and a Master of Theology (2009) from Duke University Divinity School. In addition to
being a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I am also an ordained priest in the
Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina.
​
I have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and I employ Gottman Methods Couples Therapy in my work. I have also completed training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). This method works well for trauma recovery, as well as many other issues clients may be experiencing. When appropriate, I like to include Sand Therapy as a tool to assist clients in working towards their goals. To learn more about my experience, you may review my CV here.
​
COUNSELING APPROACH:
I am a creator of the Nurture/Play/Structure Model of Therapy. At times, we all feel as though our lives are out of balance. Balance brings a sense of peace, enjoyment, and fulfillment to our lives. Whether the imbalance is caused by an outside event or an internal struggle, I work with clients to understand what may need adjusting or reframing to achieve balance in their lives. This practice is helpful for individuals, couples, and families.
I believe that our lives were meant to experience joy. We can only do so when we are our authentic selves. I work with clients to "unlearn" ways in which we have all been trained to perform to the expectations of others.
