​I am the owner of Discovering Hope. I have significant experience and training in working with adolescents and trauma, having started my journey into the mental health field working in adolescent psychiatric residential treatment. I have spent the last several years developing further training in trauma in both adolescents and adults. I am the first clinician in NC to be certified in HOCI (Healing our Core Issues) Institutes' DARTT (Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapist) model. With the increasing caseload of individuals who have late diagnoses of ADHD and/or Autism, I have spent the most recent years increasing my knowledge and training on neurodiverse specific needs.

 

 My desire is to help people navigate this crazy journey called life. I understand that there are ups and downs for everyone, and yet they look different for each of us.  I have a passion for people who don't quite feel as if they belong, those who feel unseen, unheard, and not understood. I strive to offer a safe space for people to show up as themselves, unapologetically authentic, without the masks.  I want to come alongside you and help you heal from the wounds of life, develop acceptance of yourself, and to be successful in reaching your goals. Taking the first step for your future may be scary, but the journey there doesn't have to be traversed alone.

 

I have experience working with trauma, neurodiversity, mood disorders, relational dysfunction both historical and current, emotional dysregulation, depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, and life transitions.​​​​​

​

I am certified as a developmental and relational trauma therapist (DARTT) as well as a certified professional trauma therapist. I also have training in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), mindfulness, and somatic based modalities. I offer an eclectic and integrative approach to counseling. Every person is unique' each style of learning and working different. I believe that every individual has the tools to heal and grow within them, and the strategies we use in counseling will help to identify and strengthen them.  My goal as a counselor is to empower you to reach your goals.​​
