- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in North Carolina with over four decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each client's unique journey, with expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploring sensitive topics including sexuality, identity, life purpose, and interpersonal relationships. My practice focuses on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, overcome social anxiety, and navigate significant life changes.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of concerns—from workplace stress and midlife transitions to grief, chronic health challenges, and personal growth. I'm committed to creating an affirming environment that honors each individual's experiences and supports their path toward healing and self-understanding.
I bring a liberal, inclusive perspective and welcome clients from diverse backgrounds, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community and older adult populations. My goal is to empower you to develop resilience, find meaningful connections, and create positive change in your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
