Therapy Style
I am so glad you have chosen to care for your mental health! Coming to Firefly Counseling NC is a positive step of collaboration in encouragement, education, and empowerment! My practice is trauma-informed for adults who are located in NC during session. During sessions, clients have options to utilize art, workbooks, Mindfulness skills, and talking to further their mental health journey.
My evidence-based approach focuses on collaborative work that equips clients in creating balance in their life. I enjoy building frameworks with clients to come out of survival mode and move towards thriving by advancing in the power of choice, skills, and stability. I believe therapy is a safe space to celebrate, heal, and nurture your authentic, healthy self.

Why A Firefly?
Honestly fireflies are unattractive insects.
You might say "ugly" or "scary," but they sure make us smile!
They warm a night sky, inviting us to feel whimsical and safe with their glow.
Fireflies are a symbol of us and our journeys.
We may have histories that we've attached with shame or guilt, or we might have experiences that feel scary.
Yet, we are human beings that offer joy, peace, love.
We are fireflies!
So glow and be unique on the path to your authentic, healthy self!
