I started Ilex Counseling Services in 2024 in an effort to create community amongst social workers and to teach, learn, and work collaboratively. My hope is that we can provide high level clinical and therapeutic services to support our clients while supporting one another as the providers. I provide close clinical supervision, guidance and training to each clinician at Ilex so that all of our clients are receiving the best care possible.
I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in 2003 with a Master’s in Social Work. I have worked in the triangle area providing direct clinical services to numerous populations over the last 20 years.
I work with individuals, couples, and with families to help each person identify their own strengths and contributions to creating a life worth living. I have experience providing trauma focused work; these days I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). I draw from a long history of being trained in numerous other modalities, including DBT, ACT, and many more. I also work with couples using Relational Life Therapy (RLT). I am comfortable treating a number of symptoms, including, but not limited to: trauma, sexual abuse, incest, trafficking, adoption issues, attachment disruptions, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, difficulties with emotion regulation, self harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, parenting and co-parenting difficulties.
As a therapist in this field I also recognize the need to care for and support the community of people who provide clinical services. I have spent several years providing therapy to therapists and helping clinicians in their own growth process develop their skills and take care of themselves.
