Many come to therapy feeling stuck, struggling with emotional challenges, or looking for healthier ways to cope and move forward. I work with tweens, teens, and adults, who are navigating the impact of trauma, life transitions, mood disorders, or overwhelming stress.

I work with children, teens, and college students facing challenges in their everyday life. I help them identify and apply practical strategies that use their strengths to counter these challenges.

I'm licensed in North Carolina and have a passion for working with young adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, LGBTQ issues, mood disorders, OCD, Autism Spectrum, and Complex trauma.
My passion for helping others stems from my belief in the inherent resilience that lies within every person. I am a firm advocate for de-stigmatizing mental health challenges and fostering an environment of understanding and acceptance. I understand that seeking help can be a courageous step, and I am here to provide a judgment-free space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and concerns. My approach to therapy is rooted in a combination of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. I enjoy working with Neurodivergents.
