I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with over 25 years of professional work experience. My goal is to help clients learn to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief & loss, lack of motivation, and low self-esteem. I am also a licensed clinical addictions specialist. I have more than 15 years of professional experience working with individuals who struggle with addiction. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards changing. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. You deserve to feel better.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
