As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal challenges. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, with a deep commitment to understanding each person's unique journey.

My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients through self-love, improved communication, and healing from challenging experiences. I offer supportive guidance for individuals struggling with social anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and personal growth. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their emotions and develop meaningful strategies for wellness.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to build resilience, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate authentic connections. Whether you're experiencing isolation, processing life changes, or seeking deeper understanding of yourself, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

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.
