- LCSW
I'm a licensed therapist in North Carolina with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. My work spans a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, and anger management. I'm particularly skilled at helping clients navigate complex emotional experiences and build meaningful connections with themselves and others.
I work with clients across the lifespan, with a special focus on supporting older adults. My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique journey. I specialize in helping clients explore self-love, improve communication, address isolation and loneliness, and discover their life purpose. I also support those working through grief, shame, forgiveness, and attachment challenges.
Beyond these core areas, I have experience with a wide range of life experiences—including women's health concerns, workplace stress, family dynamics, caregiver burnout, and major life transitions. I'm equipped to support individuals navigating trauma recovery, relationship difficulties, chronic health challenges, and the complexities of addiction and recovery.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered and trauma-informed. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your values and beliefs, and working collaboratively toward the changes that matter most to you. I'm here to provide steady, compassionate support as you move forward on your healing journey.

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.
