"Grief is a solitary journey that we cannot do alone."

Integrative trauma therapy is an intentional blend of evidence-based techniques that makes treatment an embodied approach (mind, body, spirit). Rather than staying with single methods, integrative trauma therapy is a holistic, person-centered approach that provides flexibility to treating trauma's complex impacts on an individual's system. In treatment, I often blend techniques such as SE, EMDR, EFT, RRP, ARM, and STT. In my care, clients will typically begin to make contact with young parts of their system that have experienced trauma to resource and rescue them out of the past.

Like integrative trauma therapy, integrative couples therapy is a blend of evidence-based techniques, such as EFT, GM, Imago, and sex therapy, and offers a personalized approach to each relationship that is in distress and/or is needing improvement. Sex and intimacy coaching is a non-pathologizing, action-oriented medium to help couples enhance their emotional and physical intimacy by practicing exploration and utilizing skills for closeness.

Emotionally-focused family therapy uses attachment theory to help families build stronger, more secure bonds by identifying negative interaction patterns, accessing deeper emotions, and creating new, healthier ways to connect, fostering safety, trust, and mutual understanding. I often utilize EFFT with parents and teens, as well as with adult siblings.

Group coaching utilizing the relational recovery process is designed to promote psychoeducation and awareness of family system dynamics that have impacted an individual's sense of security and ability to have loving, fulfilling relationships. Psychoeducational groups are held for 6 months at a time with a maximum of  8 members. Group participants learn new tools to address dysregulation and communication difficulties. Long-term RRP groups last from 2 to 4 years and are considered as psychotherapy groups. Clients must reside within the state of North Carolina for long-term group counseling.
