As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, my passion has been to assist others with finding that light on the other side of a seemingly dark tunnel. I frequently work with adults ages 17+ to help them gain understanding of how our past can influence our present behaviors and emotional responses and assist those struggling with addiction to regain control over their own lives. I enjoy working with couples to develop positive, healthy relationships and interactions with each other through positive communication, conflict resolution, and remembering where the spark originated. I also work with children ages 8-12 years old who are dealing with depression, anxiety, parental separations, bullying, and self-esteem. Through an Adlerian therapeutic approach and using modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy, we will work through the challenges that may arise in our everyday lives. I have a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and am licensed to practice in North Carolina. I became a therapist after spending 8 years in the mental health field working with struggling communities through substance abuse, child sexual abuse, developmental disabilities, dual-diagnosis, and severe mental illness. Many of my clinical experiences over the last 12 years were developed through community mental health, home-based therapy, and mental health practices with children and adults. I am passionate and dedicated to each individual client that I have the pleasure to assist. I have the understanding and personal experience that therapy can be scary, it can be difficult and overwhelming, but I also know that the therapeutic process is something that you have control over. You are the conductor of the train and I am simply the track to help guide you along the way.
Do you need to talk to someone? Are you ready to make a positive change? Are you looking for healing? Do you want to move forward in your life?

You will be allowed the opportunity to move forward mentally, emotionally, and physically in your path towards healing, growth, and transformation. Do you want to try something new and different?

Therapy is an opportunity to help people diminish pain and suffering, cope with the challenges of life, and gain support through fear and loss. I hope to bring compassion and attentiveness that creates space for healing. I have twelve years of experience in a variety of therapeutic settings. I am passionate about helping you find your identity and self-worth so you'll be able to succeed in every aspect of your life. I am LGBTQ affirming and open to all faiths. Ultimately, I hope to help you identify the hope and strength already within you. I specialize in areas of anxiety, perinatal and women's health, spirituality and trauma, life transitions, and domestic violence. I utilize a variety of resources including emotion-focused therapy, CBT, attachment work and mindfulness. Most importantly, I work with each client to tailor my approach to the goals and strengths of the individual.

NEW CLIENTS WELCOME -- Your anxiety has gotten out of control, and your trauma is calling the shots. You’re mentally reliving your lowest moments over & over, unsettling heartache creeping up when you least expect it. Your relationships or career have begun falling apart as a result of the fear & lack of control you’ve been feeling. You want to come up for air, but the waves keep pushing you back under and you just don’t know how much longer you can tread water... But you’ve found a safe harbor here. I offer a variety of specialized interventions, such as EMDR, CBT, and traditional talk therapy, to calm the storm. Our work together will focus on actually healing the brain and getting you relief quickly by going beyond, “How do you feel about that?” while feeling low-key, comfortable, and authentic. If you are someone who is seeking to improve your quality of life, career, and relationships, you’ve come to the right place.
I’m deeply passionate about working with teens and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence. I understand that navigating these challenges can feel incredibly overwhelming and isolating. My clients often come to me feeling stuck and uncertain, desiring clarity and a sense of direction. They are eager to grow and find their path, yet they may not have the tools or support they need to make this vision a reality. My role is to walk alongside them with empathy and patience, helping them build confidence and resilience. Together, we work to uncover their unique strengths and develop strategies that honor their individual experiences and aspirations. My goal is to provide a supportive space where they can explore their feelings, discover their authentic selves, and move forward with hope and purpose.

My work as a clinician centers around the belief that therapy begins when you meet individuals where they are. I strive to empower clients to identify and utilize their strengths as well as work toward their goals. I am licensed through the North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensure Board as a Licensed Clinical Social Work Associate. I received my Master’s Degree from Winthrop University with a focus on empowerment practice. As everyone has walked different journeys in life, their process in therapy should be just as unique. I have experience using several therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, solution focused therapy as well as play therapy. I am constantly researching and participating in continuing education to learn more techniques to help the individuals I serve. I strive to provide a compassionate but honest space for clients to grow and heal. I look forward in partnering together to improve your mental health!
You’ve built your life around solving complex problems, but lately, your thoughts won’t slow down. Whether you’re managing workplace pressure, academic stress, or major life changes, therapy can help you find clarity and relief. I specialize in working with professionals, PhD students, and post-docs who experience burnout, anxiety, or self-doubt. Together, we’ll set two focused goals by our third session and build practical strategies that fit your world; from deadlines and defenses, to family and fatigue. As a biracial psychologist (Seneca/Haudenosaunee and White) living with autoimmune challenges, I understand the weight of high expectations and the need to honor authenticity. My approach combines Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered, and solution-focused techniques. Clients describe my style as calm, collaborative, and grounded in real-world understanding. Sessions are offered online. I offer weekday, evening, and weekend appointments to fit busy schedules. My coordinator with OnPoint Billing LLC, ensures smooth setup and insurance verification before your first session. If you’re ready to find balance without losing your drive, reach out today. I typically respond within 24 hours.
