Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating depression, processing trauma, or simply feeling ready to explore the challenges in your life, you’ve taken an important step by considering counseling. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions throughout North Carolina to make prioritizing your mental health as simple and accessible as possible. I believe you are the expert in your own life, with valuable insights and experiences that can guide the path toward healing and growth. Together, we can create a space to explore your goals and develop a plan that works for you.
My approach draws from an eclectic mix of therapeutic theories, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Gestalt techniques, and is always tailored to your unique needs and experiences. I believe in creating a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space—one that allows you to feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward change and growth.
Counseling is a journey, and my goal is to ensure that our work together feels safe, approachable, and empowering as you step into this process. Taking the first step can feel vulnerable, but you are not alone. Starting counseling is simply giving yourself the space to explore, heal, and connect with your goals in a supportive environment.
