Therapy is a space for you and about you, one where you are inherently deserving of kindness, compassion, and safety.
Currently accepting new clients.
Hi and welcome! Beginning or continuing your therapy journey can present many challenging feelings. I hope to make that journey feel as safe, welcoming, affirming, and empowering as possible. Creating a space that is client-centered, accessible, authentic, and non-judgmental is a priority. My therapeutic approach is relational, trauma-informed, and client-centered at its core. In addition to that foundation, I often utilize concepts and techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT/TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Feminist Theory, Play Therapy, and Creative Arts Therapy. I use these approaches when working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults.
I strive to create safe spaces for those experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or life transitions. As a former Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault therapy intern, I welcome survivors of violence and abuse and commit to supporting you through your journey to safety, healing, and empowerment.
Therapy is a space for you and about you, one where you are inherently deserving of kindness, compassion, and safety. If you would like to take the next step in exploring what therapy could look like for you, please feel free to contact me.
Meet bentley & Reggie!
Bentley may be his legal name, but he never goes by that. Only ever goes by any other form of that name but Bentley. We mainly call him Benny!
Favorite media?
I, admittedly, love some reality TV. Real personalities on display are so interesting to me and I love exploring human behavior. Occasionally, I'll tap into fictional series', like my current watch of Dexter or mind-bending shows, but my brain loves to stay in the world of reality. YouTube is always a go-to, especially for a pick-me-up. You can find my algorithm set to learning about various cultures, life experiences, or the typical funny friend group. If I'm reading, there's a 99.9% chance it's a book on psychology.
What are you up to in your free time?
If the weather is nice, I love being outside on the Blue Ridge Parkway seeking out the next cool hiking spot. I also love going to the gym, something that keeps my mind at ease! If I'm not doing those two activities, I am definitely either watching my shows or playing with the dogs.
Favorite foods?
Chocolate, chicken, pizza? I love it. My taste palate is quite limited, so you will find me eating the same foods on repeat. I can always get behind some southern style cooking, like biscuits and gravy, cornbread, and macaroni!
