Our Team
Therapist in Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Durham, Mebane and surrounding areas in NC.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina, with over 12 years of providing therapeutic services. Also, I have been a School Social Worker for more than 20 years, working with children and families from all different backgrounds.
I received my undergraduate degree in Social Work at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC and my Masters degree in Social Work from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. I received a certification in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) and serve as a Crisis Counselor on the CISM team for a public school district.
The foundation of my work is client-centered and trauma-focused, which concentrates on establishing trust and respect in order for change to occur. I hope you find comfort knowing that I am a therapist who will honor you as the expert in your own life and nurture your personal growth. I see each client as a unique human being with the power within them to heal and grow. I will help you discover the tools you already have to make changes by providing a safe space to feel heard, instilling hope, engaging with compassion, and supporting you with empathy. Sometimes we struggle and need help finding our way back to the life we want to live. We may experience feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and guilt. As a therapist, I aim to create a safe space for my clients to explore their feelings and experiences, and move towards the things they value. My practice is rooted in compassion, acceptance, and non-judgement. My goal is to help you create a loving relationship with yourself and to ultimately help you achieve your purpose.
Throughout my career, I have had the honor of working with people from all different backgrounds and ages. I work with people of all orientations and gender identities. Much of my experience has been working with individuals affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse and neglect, ADHD, relationship issues, and the challenges of parenting.
I am committed to deepening my professional knowledge base and regularly engage in advanced clinical training and consultation. More broadly, I am dedicated to my own evolution and seek regular support from my own therapist.
Outside of my work as a therapist and as a School Social Worker, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three daughters, exercising, playing games, and enjoying nature.

Hi everyone! I’m Lucy, a Licensed Clinical Social Work Associate in the state of North Carolina. I provide affirming, supportive, and person-centered therapy to teens and adults (ages 14+). As a therapist, I have supported clients through their journeys with various challenges, including depression, anxiety, loneliness, academic stress, work-related stress, trauma, adjustment issues, relationship issues, and interpersonal problems.
I believe that creating a safe, nonjudgmental, respectful, trusting environment is essential in therapy. This means that when you come to therapy, I see you as your own expert, and we talk about what’s important to you. It also means that I’m open with you if you have questions about me. I accompany clients and act as a guide, a facilitator, and a teacher of self-regulation skills as you walk through your mental health journey toward your goals.
My past experiences as a therapist have brought me to a variety of settings, including a specialized school, public middle school, university counseling center, experiential learning program, and private practice. I have worked with people identifying with many different genders, sexualities, races, ethnicities, mental and physical abilities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. It’s very important to me that all identities are welcome and valued in my practice. My professional interests center on working with and advocating for members of the LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse communities.
I completed my Master of Social Work with a concentration in clinical practice with children, youth, and families from Boston College in June of 2022. Since then, I have also completed my Equine-Assisted Mental Health Practitioner Certificate through the University of Denver School of Social Work. I do not currently include animal interactions in my therapy practice.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I am an adaptive or “therapeutic” horsemanship instructor. I teach horseback riding and horse care skills to individuals who may not otherwise get access to relationships with these amazing animals. I also love cuddling with my adorable Siberian cat Azula, running, quilting, and spending time with my family. I look forward to learning about you and supporting you toward your goals!

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate in the state of North Carolina. In addition to providing therapeutic services, I also work as a School Counselor Consultant. I provide therapeutic services to help clients and families with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, and neglect associated with perinatal, academic, and life transitional support.
I received my Masters Degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in New York.
I have 20 years of experience working with a diverse client population, including children and teenagers. My experience includes individual counseling, family counseling, and group counseling. I have addressed an array of client issues including depression, anxiety, grief/loss, transition stress, illness/disability, developmental concerns, relationship problems, self-esteem, body image, parenting, trauma, and college/career issues.
Counseling includes both the development of a trusting relationship between us and the development of goals and plans for you to accomplish them. I will encourage, support, and help you devise appropriate steps that will move closer to your goals. I use well-established and researched methods of therapy including solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered, and family systems.
I offer an atmosphere of patience, warmth, and unconditional acceptance- with no judgment. You are one step closer to an evolving you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
Outside of my professional work as a School Counselor Consultant and Therapist, I enjoy being a wife and mother to an adult and a toddler, traveling, and learning new crafts such as gardening and crocheting.
