About
As an LCSW with 4+ years of clinical experience and 15+ years overall, I bring professional expertise and personal insight to supporting individuals through trauma, loss, crisis, inpatient care, memory care, and life transitions. I believe building new skills and recognizing our strengths can empower us to heal, grow, and create meaningful change.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Trauma Professional with 4+ years of clinical and 15+ years of experience. Licensed in North Carolina, I work with young and older adults, veterans, and those with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, grief, and relationship issues. I specialize in childhood trauma using evidence-based practices. From personal experience, I understand healing. Therapy means understanding who you've been, honoring what helped you survive, and becoming who you are. In our work, expect compassionate, supportive, collaborative care helping you move from surviving to living grounded and intentional.
My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss,ADHD, and relationships. Together we identify limiting patterns and develop healthier coping skills. Expect supportive, nonjudgmental space at your pace. My goal is helping you feel grounded, empowered, and intentional.
Healing does not mean forgetting what you've been through; it means your past does not define your future. You deserve a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I would be honored to walk alongside you toward healing, self-awareness, and balance. If ready, please schedule an appointment now. You do not navigate this journey alone.

Greif and loss are a natural part of all human life, as are the variety of emotions experienced in relation to the loss. Therefore, my approach to grief and loss counseling focuses on helping individuals identify, understand, and express the emotions they are experiencing. I work to help individuals find meaningful ways to express their emotions and to help them find strategies to navigate life while experiencing grief.
Some of the tools that I use in grief and loss counseling include:
I encourage my clients to set aside intentional time for reflection between sessions. Grief is often associated with a variety of emotional states, and practicing intentional reflection can provide additional insight into each of those thoughts and emotions. Aside from reflection, I also encourage my clients to discuss their thoughts and emotions related to grief with trusted individuals who may have also experienced the loss, such as family members or friends. This can help you to reflect on shared memories and emotions while experiencing grief.
One thing that I would encourage anyone considering grief and loss counseling to do is to come to counseling with a willingness to share your whole experience. I understand that for many people grief and loss come with a lot of complex emotions that may not always be pleasant to talk about. I would want you to understand that there is no judgment toward any emotions that you may be feeling, and all of your emotions are valid.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Raleigh, NC have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Raleigh, NC will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
