Hello!  I’m Jeannine, and I am thrilled to be a part of the Three Oaks team as an outpatient psychotherapist. I hold my provisional license as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMCHA  #A21233) in North Carolina. I grew up in North Carolina, attended Guilford College for my B.A. in Elementary Education and Psychology, and earned my M.S. and Ed.S. in School Counseling from UNC Greensboro. 

My passion lies in supporting children, families, young adults, and educators. Over the past 7 years, I’ve had the privilege of being a professional school counselor in a public elementary school working with pre-k through fifth grade. I have supported countless students, families, and teachers from diverse backgrounds and with a large variety of needs. This experience has allowed me to refine my skills supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, autism, emotion dysregulation, trauma, complicated social and family situations, and much more. 

I approach therapy from a person-centered and strengths-based lens. My job is to come alongside you to support you in achieving your goals and improving your overall well-being. You are the expert on yourself, and I bring in additional tools and therapy modalities to support you. Within this safe space and our positive therapeutic relationship, I utilize play therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide you towards your goals. 

When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me working in the garden, curled up with a good book, taking a long walk with my dog, or in the kitchen baking something yummy. One of my favorite quotes is often attributed to Maya Angelou, “People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. People will never forget how you made them feel.” Your time with me is about you. On occasion, I’ll say something insightful or enlightening, but the majority of growth and change happens because of realizations, plans, and understanding we achieve collaboratively. I believe in the strength within each individual to overcome challenges, build resilience, and create positive change. 

I look forward to meeting you and joining you on this journey!
