Hi! If you are looking into therapy with a goal of feeling better, I am here to support you with that goal. I am a bilingual Latina therapist specializing in providing multicultural and trauma-informed care. I myself am an immigrant and a first-gen college student, so I have lived experience with many of the challenges that college students face. I have spent the last 5 years working with college-aged BIPOC students and I look forward to continuing this work! Each of my sessions is tailored to you, taking into account your unique identities, history, and goals. Whether you are feeling alone, overwhelmed, facing challenges in this period of your life, or need another support in your circle, I am here to stand with you as we cultivate healing and joy. My goal is to be a facilitator to support you in managing the challenges that exist in your world and still feeling like your best self. I know that taking the first steps to finding a therapist can be challenging and commend you on carving out time and space for yourself. I am happy to take the time to answer any questions or address any concerns before taking any next steps. Feel free to reach out, and I truly look forward to getting to know you.

I have specialized in working with college and university undergraduate and graduate students since my graduate training and I have worked in six different college and university counseling centers. I have innate knowledge about the experiences that are relevant to college and undergraduate students and it is my mission to provide support in helping navigate the journey during this integral time of development. I have experience supporting students through general academic stress and concerns as well as compounding stressors relevant to diversity, culture and identity. Finally, I understand the intersection that other factors have during the college and university experience (i.e., family, friend and romantic relationship building and conflict, social injustice, financial stress, career uncertainty, etc.)

Need Someone to Talk To? I’m Here to Help. I’m a licensed therapist who works with college students just like you — navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday life struggles. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need a safe space to talk, I offer confidential online therapy that fits your schedule. If faith is important to you, I also offer Christian counseling upon request. All sessions are virtual, so you can talk in a comfortable space . Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, empowered, confident, and supported.

Being human can be tough! While experiencing the challenges that life may hold, I believe you deserve to be heard, understood, and accepted. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to share, explore, heal, and make sense of your story and experiences. As we work together, you may identify aspects of your life that you would like to change or experience differently. We will work together with curiosity to create intentional and meaningful steps towards creating that change in your life. For me, it is a deep honor to be a part of your journey as we navigate life’s challenges. As someone who has been a client, I commend you for the courage and vulnerability it takes to begin looking for a counselor. You have made it this far with the resilience that resides within you, and I believe you deserve the opportunity to experience the benefits that counseling has to offer. As a counselor, I use an integrative approach that is collaborative and relationship-based, values and strengths-focused, and social justice-oriented. My approach is influenced by components of and includes teaching skills from Person-Centered, Acceptance and Commitment, Dialectical Behavioral, and Cognitive Behavioral therapies. Additionally, I practice from a lens that is trauma-informed and acknowledges the influence of systemic marginalization, intersectionality, and social injustices. Topics that I support adults in navigating include but are not limited to adjustment and stress management, LGBTQIA+ identities, identity development, issues related to young adulthood and attending college, career path exploration, interpersonal relationships, anxiety and depression, grief, trauma, shame, and self-compassion. Outside of my work, you might find me enjoying some time outside hiking or walking at the park, hanging out or cooking a meal with my chosen family and friends, playing the Nintendo Switch, laughing at memes or TikToks, or just catching up on tv shows/movies with my partner and our two cats.

Trauma can be an invisible wound that can affect many parts of our lives we don’t even realize. I work with clients with depression, anxiety, adoption triad concerns, and trauma-related issues. Change can be hard. Having the courage to reach out and discuss your inner pain and anxiety is the first step. I want to help you work through your past painful experiences, feelings of shame, and traumatic events so that you can create a new life path. I believe each person has their own pace, and am willing to find therapies and strategies that work for you. My approach is open-minded, trauma-based, cognitive, and holistic. I started my career in psychology and counseling when I experienced a suicide in my family. It gave me the courage to make changes for myself, and help people around me who were also suffering grief, loss, and depression. I’m an advocate of mental health issues, a proud adoptee, and a supporter of the arts. **I only accept insurance in the state of North Carolina**

I am a clinical social worker who takes a Rogerian approach to therapeutic relationships. After 9 years of public health experience I have developed a broad skill set. My expertise includes trauma informed care, parenting, smoking cessation, substance use, intimate partner violence, healthy masculinity, medical adherence and perinatal mood disorders. I have years of experience working on multidisciplinary teams and speak the language of healthcare. I utilize evidence based practices and have been trained in a variety of modalities including EMDR, motivational interviewing, tobacco treatment and cessation, eco-therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Join me in learning the tools and skills to intentionally create the life that you desire. I work with clients who are looking to strengthen trust in themselves. My overarching goal for every client who comes to see me is for them to have a more loving, compassionate relationship to themselves, others, and their past. I use a holistic collaborative approach to counseling that recognizes our unique multidimensional nature, and honors the connection between mind, emotions, energy, and body. Birdie, my office puppy, is a gentle presence who offers passive emotional support to clients who enjoy animal companionship. I work with adults, college students, teens, adolescents, couples, and families, to: 1. Identify harmful thought and behavior patterns, 2. Understand what's at the root of these patterns, 3. Cultivate tools and behaviors that encourage, rather than inhibit, growth. I offer compassionate, honest feedback, providing an outside lens that will allow you to see yourself more clearly. I believe everyone has the tools within them to heal and grow. You can reconnect with your authentic and confident self. Let's rekindle the spark within you and heal the past that is holding you back from the life you desire. I would be honored to assist you in opening up paths to trusting yourself and healing your past in your journey to wholeness.

Glad you're here- you are taking the first step towards taking better care of yourself and making yourself a priority, which can be difficult to do at times. Many clients seek out therapy or coaching not really knowing what to expect or what it is like and that is perfectly ok, we get it! It can be uncomfortable and a little scary to take a deeper look at ourselves, thinking patterns, behaviors and our role in relationships and that is why it our priority at ModernMind to offer a warm and safe space for each and every client to feel validated and empowered along their personal journey to wholeness and recovery. We are passionate about working with emerging adults and young adults who are struggling with a range of concerns including: ​- Depression - Anxiety/Stress - Life transitions - Disordered eating - ​Eating disorder recovery - Self- worth/ self-esteem - Body image - Identity development - Self discovery - Relationship issues

I deeply value the therapeutic relationship and strive to help clients better understand themselves. By creating safety and comfort within our relationship, we can more deeply explore familial, platonic and romantic relationships while also exploring clients' identities and feelings of worth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in North Carolina, I am committed to supporting individuals through a client-centered approach that respects and honors each person’s unique experiences and goals. I believe that within everyone lies the innate potential for healing and growth, and my role is to provide compassionate, tailored support to help you access those inner resources. My approach to therapy is flexible and integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness and Somatic Therapies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I work collaboratively to identify your priorities and design a treatment plan that aligns with your strengths, needs, and aspirations. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment to foster reflection and ease during our sessions. I am attentive to your communication style and will adapt as needed to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and supported. My ultimate goal is to empower you in your healing journey and help you develop practical skills to manage distress and clarify your path toward a more meaningful, fulfilling life.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice. I work mainly through insight-oriented psychotherapy, but I also offer diagnostic evaluations and prescribing services. Patients see me for a variety of concerns around self-esteem, trauma, attachment, dependency, boundaries, self-criticism, and childhood abuse/neglect. These issues may lead to shame, guilt, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, perfectionism, self-loathing, or repeated conflicts with family, colleagues, or romantic partners. Therapy is a chance to think carefully together about your past and present experiences to deepen your insight into your situation. As we come to understand your inner world, I hope you will gradually notice a greater sense of flexibility, freedom, and openness to life's many joys and challenges. As a psychiatrist, I am happy to help with diagnostic clarification and medical treatment of most general psychiatric conditions including mood and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, and others. While medications alone often fail to address the deeper conflicts and traumas that cause our symptoms, a thoughtful approach to prescribing can help build a foundation for the personal work that leads to lasting change. I have special experience working with university students and early career professionals in medicine, academia, law, tech, and the arts. I enjoy working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, and I welcome and affirm those who may identify as LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent.

Anxiety, depression, relationship stress. We all face challenges, and we do the best we can with what we know, and what we have, in the moment.
