Montgomery Counseling Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCSWA, LCMHC, LCMHCA
I believe therapy works best when it is both grounded and genuinely human. My approach is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients understand what is happening beneath the surface rather than simply managing symptoms.
I work with people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship conflict, or emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who are used to pushing through but know something deeper needs attention.
My clinical work draws from evidence-based and experiential approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems-informed therapy, clinical hypnosis, and other trauma-focused methods. I am especially interested in how the nervous system, memory, emotion, and identity all interact in the healing process.
I aim to create a therapy space that is direct but compassionate, supportive but not passive. Together, we will work toward helping you make sense of your experience, reduce distress, and build a more flexible, connected way of living

9 Years Experience
Online in Wilmington, NC (Online Only)
Wilmington is a coastal North Carolina city that has grown significantly as a retirement destination, university community (UNC Wilmington), and—somewhat unexpectedly—a major film and television production hub, with Screen Gems Studios making Wilmington one of the East Coast's most active filming locations and earning it the nickname 'Wilmywood.' The mental health landscape reflects this mix: retiree adjustment and aging concerns, student well-being needs at UNCW, and the particular stresses of the creative and entertainment industry workforce. Hurricane Florence and other significant storms have left a legacy of disaster-related anxiety and trauma for coastal residents, and climate-related worry about storm intensity and sea level rise is a growing theme in local therapy practices. Common therapy concerns include hurricane trauma and climate anxiety, retiree adjustment, student mental health, creative industry stress, and the identity challenges of a city navigating rapid population growth and a changing economic character.
