About
I desire to support others impacted by unique challenges and to be a resource for those in need of developing effective responses in cognition, emotion, and behavior to overcome life circumstances and achieve optimal functioning.
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with over 20 years of experience providing therapeutic services to adults, adolescents, children, and families. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment concerns, grief and loss, adjustment challenges, and personality-related concerns. I am passionate about supporting diverse populations and helping clients build resilience, insight, and emotional balance.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical counseling from Webster University. My approach is evidence-based and trauma-informed, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, and eco-systemic family therapy. I focus on building therapeutic rapport while supporting meaningful, sustainable change.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but therapy can help you develop awareness, effective coping strategies, and renewed confidence. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, strengthen skills, and move toward personal growth and improved well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey.

Like much else in life, you get out of therapy what you put into it. What you do outside of the therapy session is just as important as what happens in the session, as you have the chance to take responsibilty for your own treatment and apply what you have learned.

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is learning a particular skill or tool during session, practicing during session, and then having clients practice the skill daily outside of sessions.
I teach the following tools in DBT:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy when they begin reporting feeling calmer daily, responding to situations in a healthy way, increase in healthy interactions and relationships, and regulating their emotions.
Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy with scheduled daily practice of the skills learned in each session.
To prepare for their first dialectical behavior therapy session, an individual can be ready to learn and ready for change.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Raleigh, NC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
