About Gwendolyn.
Marriage and Family Therapist.
I have lived all over North Carolina and I always find myself drawn back to the mountains. I graduated from Appalachian State in 2025 with a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have since become passionate about serving the High Country. I have both training and excitement when it comes to working couples, families, and individuals. I specialize in and love working with neurodiverse populations as well as LGBTQIA+, those with people pleasing tendencies, people going through life transitions and those who are looking to deepen their relationship with themselves and their world. I am committed to understanding how the systems and relationships you are a part of are influencing your health and wellbeing while still understanding and encouraging where you have agency and autonomy. I believe that the best therapy is co-created between therapist and client and highly collaborative.
I lead nonjudgementally and like to meet my clients as people first before getting to know their problems. I tend to begin therapy with a solutions focused approach integrating evidenced based practices such as CBT and DBT to build skills and get life feeling more manageable. Once we have built tools and a relationship I challenge my clients to go deeper using expressive arts therapy, body based interventions, and narrative therapy where we will investigate the stories that anchor our lives.
