I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 9 years of experience working in various settings, including offices, homes, and schools, helping individuals ages 4-65. I specialize in depression and oppositional defiant disorder and have extensive experience treating anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and more. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and have worked extensively with the Black and Hispanic communities of the Triangle (aunque no hablo español, lo siento). I am dedicated to building a strong, positive rapport with my clients, ensuring they feel comfortable and sufficiently challenged.
I graduated from Wake Forest University with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. I utilize approaches such as emotionally focused therapy, humanistic therapy, culturally sensitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and cognitive reprocessing.
I know people can be hesitant to reach out to a new therapist because of the intense emotional commitment it takes or because they feel isolated and alone. I promise to provide unconditional positive regard and support you without judgment. You are the expert on yourself, and I will always work to build you up.
