Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC
1 Endorsed
Charlotte, NC 28207
In addition to my specialties, I have extensive experience treating trichotillomania, dermatillomania, agoraphobia, PTSD, Autism/neurodiversity, and gender identity/dysphoria.
On the outside it looks like you have it all together, but inside you're engaged in a constant struggle for control. Your anxiety, OCD, and/or eating disorder has taken over your life. You find yourself in a constant loop of feeling worried, nervous, stressed and at times not good enough, thin enough, or smart enough. You’re stuck and unable to find the relief that you crave, so you try temporary fixes. Sometimes you disconnect and avoid people and your responsibilities, sometimes you binge, sometimes you purge, and sometimes you try to use anything that will distract your mind. You find, however, that your mind just wont turn off.

Are you going through a life change or transition and feel lost? Or maybe you just don't feel like yourself right now? Reaching out for help can be difficult, and in my experience, no human being can navigate these seasons of life alone. I am passionate about working with teenagers (ages 12+), young adults, and adults who are going through significant life changes, struggling with high-functioning anxiety (look fine on the outside but inside are exhausted and anxious), and those who would like to cultivate a more evolved version of themselves.

I specialize in working with people who struggle to maintain a balance between respecting individual needs within the context of cultural and family expectations, and with those who have experienced trauma and/or loss. I have extensive experience working with those who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety/ panic, perfectionism, sexual disorders (ie ED and decreased desire), and ADHD. As a trained sex therapist, I facilitate a deeper understanding of one another to rebuild connection in the wake of infidelity, navigate mismatched levels of desire, and neutralize anxiety and shame around intimacy. Currently accepting couples.
