Talking about intimacy isn’t always easy, especially when shameful narratives surrounding sexuality are a part of your story. As a sex therapist at Carolina Sexual Wellness Center, I am passionate about creating a non-judgmental space where my clients can begin to feel comfortable openly exploring their needs, desires, and emotions. I see meaningful progress in therapy as the result of real human connection, and prioritize building a genuine, trusting bond with each of my clients as we navigate their concerns together.

Everyone thinks you have it all together but in reality, you’re exhausted. Life is weighing you down and you desire peace & balance within but it seems unobtainable. The fear of judgment forces you to suppress your feelings. It seems like there's no one you can trust and feel vulnerable with and share your deepest thoughts and fears out loud. You manage to push through every day and find yourself feeling tired, alone, and frustrated because no one understands and shows up for you when you need it the most. It's time for a change, but figuring out where to start is a challenge for you.

If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, panicked, or stuck in survival mode, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with adults who look capable on the outside but feel exhausted on the inside: overthinking, holding themselves to high standards, and quietly carrying stress that others may not see. You may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, food or body image concerns, or challenges in sex and relationships. Even when life “looks fine,” it can feel heavy. I take a relational, trauma-informed approach grounded in warmth, authenticity, and collaboration. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel safe and supported.

Most people don’t come to therapy because something is “wrong” with them. They come because something feels off in their relationships. Maybe you and your partner are stuck in the same argument, things feel tense or disconnected at home, or you’re feeling overwhelmed trying to navigate conflict, limits, or communication.
I specialize in helping couples, families, and individuals make sense of these patterns and find new ways of relating that feel more grounded, connected, and sustainable.

In our hectic world, life can often feel difficult... You may feel worried and have difficulty quieting your mind, perhaps feeling like it's all you can do to get out of bed each day. Maybe you worry about your weight and obsess about food (what you want to eat but believe you shouldn’t), overeating, dieting, starving, or purging, tormented and consumed by self criticism and a harsh inner critic.... You're ready for a change but aren't sure where to start or feel too worn down to try something new. You want to be free from anxious, worried thoughts. You want to feel more alive and engaged in life and silence your harsh inner critic.
