Whether you need couples counseling or one-on-one for anxiety, make your time and money count. I see couples in conflict, and individuals who struggle with anxiety. I also see neurodiverse couples. Culturally, we are taught to be critical—to scan our environment for flaws and errors, to assign blame, and to exercise “critical thinking.” We look outward because we are connected to the world with our eyes and ears. That is why couples in crisis often come to therapy with this mindset: “It is the other’s fault, and they need to change.” There will always be at least a grain of truth to both partner’s point of view, but will staying stuck in this mindset serve the relationship you want, or the one you have?    

I am an education geek. Flat out. I hold two Masters Degrees, one in Public Health & Policy, and another in Clinical Social Work. I am licensed in North Carolina. I also hold Graduate Specialist Certification in Gerontology (the study of aging) and have undergone in-depth training on sexuality and desire differential with the Institute for Relational Intimacy. I have studied both Gottman and the Developmental Model of relationships. I am certified in clinical hypnosis and have over 200 hours of additional training in this therapeutic mode. I have published a number of articles in the Star News and the NC National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Newsletter. And I constantly read in my field and attend the latest findings in workshops simply because I love my work and I love to learn.
